A glimpse of my treasure...

A glimpse of my treasure, and perhaps you will see what is in my heart...

Surprized by Flowers... Thanks!



My Sweet Husband surprized me with
this beautiful gift today!

A Shield and a Portion!

I love this often-omitted verse from the popular hymn,

"Amazing Grace..."

"The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word, my Hope secures.
He will my Shield and Portion be
As long as Life endures."

I meditate on this often
& hum the tune to myself throughout the day

Grandma Q's Fried Chicken

My Dad loved her chicken the best.
Grandma Vivian fried the most delicious chicken up in her
2nd story apartment in Lemoyne every Sunday.



She taught my sister and I to make it,
telling us we would
delight the heart of our Dad
if we learned well and cooked it often, for it was his
favorite all his life, she would say



Her kitchen was teensy, but she could fry
like the best of them

Grandma once told us that if there was a way
at all to return from the dead to get a message
to this side, she would find it and
come back.  My sister and I have a silly myth.
We joke that she returns in Spring as a Redbird.
Every spring, a redbird comes and perches outside of my Kitchen window.
I wonder if the LORD might allow this unique and hilarious
woman one last way to delight her kin each Spring?



My Fried Chicken is almost as yummy as
the Sunday Chicken dinners I remember
all those years ago.   But Only my own dear Mother
can fry a yummier chicken! 
Here's to Grandma and My JRB Mom
I love you both so deeply.

Gayelynn Quigley Grandma thought the world of you and your sister. Thank you for the kind and sweet words.

Thursday is Science Experiment Day...

Today we did an at home experiment to test for acidic and base (alkaline) substances.

It was interesting and fun to watch the learning take place with hands on discovery.

testing the solution with the litmus test paper....
