Last Friday, we took a much-needed day off and drove to Leavenworth to see “The Sound of Music” being performed this summer on one of that fair town’s three theater venues.

According to her daughter-in-law, Joni Knoell of Colbert, "Lydia asked to join us for a morning during harvest at our wheat farm near Lamona.

Two unusual recipes were submitted over the past couple of weeks. The first comes from Judy Scrupps, her response to my request for favorite zucchini recipes. She explained that it was a casserole but it turned out in a loaf that you sliced. This savory Zucchini Casserole loaf has a firm quiche/bread like texture and is easy to prepare.

Lovely, just ripe, peaches tempted me at the market this week. Remembering that I had saved an unusual peach based recipe from Better Homes and Garden Magazine, I purchased six and proceeded to make Cheesecake-Stuffed Peaches. The recipe is attributed to Dee Guelcher of Acworth, Georgia. Several cooking websites sent out email reminders that this is National Cheesecake Week. The hour or so baking time for traditional cheesecake seems a bit daunting during August heat, but...

Then I get down on myself because I am not able to meet my self-imposed standard. I wonder if God just laughs at us sometimes, wondering why we do this to ourselves. God is looking at the heart and...

Do you still believe in magic? I know once you surely did. For you believed in Santa Claus, when you were a kid. Yeah, you believed in Rudolph, and do you just suppose, He really guided Santa’s sleigh, with his bright red nose?
