Menu Monday: Homemade Pizza Dough

April 8, 2013June 28, 2019Mary Jo1 Comment on Menu Monday: Homemade Pizza Dough

My back issues have lessened a bit. I am still going to the chiropractor and still working on it here at home with rest and walking. Sitting feels good now, so the temptation is to sit more, but getting up again is when I realize it was a bad idea. S…

Menu Monday: Jambalaya Pasta

April 1, 2013November 21, 2017Mary Jo1 Comment on Menu Monday: Jambalaya Pasta

I’m going to be brief today. I am still dealing with a lot of pain in my back and sitting at the computer is one of the most painful things for me right now. Walking is good, flat on my back is good, but sitting is very, very bad. I’m also trying to…

Menu Monday: Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

March 25, 2013July 15, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Menu Monday: Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

Crazy weather we’re having, I think it’s affecting my kids appetites. That or they are turning into the voracious food vacuums people warned me about when I was chasing their mouths around with a spoon full of mashed peas. Owen is eating more than I a…

My dad got married on Tuesday. I have no pictures. I have little detail, but I thought I’d share with anyone who cares to know, and have this here for the sake of my own memory.

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. Harry and Rosa tied the knot.…

They Upend Me

March 15, 2013July 15, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on They Upend Me

And I’ve learned, that someone who is poured out, can’t be upended. I’ve learned that I find refreshment in refreshing them. I’ve learned that it is only when I insist on keeping myself upright, that I am losing control.

Menu Monday

March 11, 2013July 15, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Menu Monday

The Ruler Yet

February 21, 2013July 14, 2020Mary Jo5 Comments on The Ruler Yet

Owen was quiet and thoughtful on the way home from church last night. When I asked them all who had a good time he was hesitant and finally said, “I had a bad night in ministry team.”

Nine years of lanky growth and not a bit of it strong enough to h…
