Character Revealed in Crisis
No comment. I’ve said that a lot in the past few weeks. What a strange phrase for a blogger and author with plenty of radio, speaking and interview experience. It has almost sounded foreign crossing my lips, but in some cases it is best to let the legal system speak for you and remain quiet to the media. That has been the case for many of us here … [Read more...]
Lost in Translation
As a child I dreamed of owning a horse, a raccoon and a rabbit in that order of preference. When I was about four years old my parents skipped over my first two requests and brought home a rabbit.

He never liked cats, yet lived with them his entire married life because he loved the people who loved the cats. He carried me to bed every night until I was nearly twelve years old. I carried my childhood cat Puffy in my arms for … [Read more...]

Memories of Life in Tornado Alley
I remember it clearly the memory of May 3, 1999 will always be vivid. I was nine month pregnant with Selah and walking for miles every day to stimulate contractions. Keegan walked by my side every step of the way. The sweat of Oklahoma stuck to my skin every time I stepped out of my home. On that particular day the heat was too oppressive for … [Read more...]
Sugar Bacon Recipe
Sugar bacon was a new discovery for me when we moved to the South and I found Sugar Bacon and Deviled Eggs on the menu at Bricktops.
