Silver Lining

Okay a year and a half later it might be time to try this again.  We did get our miracle. Not a big Pop type of miracle but a slow, steady one.  Our wonderful Sister-in-law is beating cancer and getting stronger everyday.
If there is anything good about cancer it is that since this whole ordeal has began we have become best friends and my husband and his brother are closer then ever. I So wish this has never happened to our family but I have learned that everything does have a silver lining.

Please

Lord, We could really use a miracle right now.

Or is this just a crazy dream....

Last night I dreamt that and old, dear friend of mine that passed away almost twenty years ago found me. He didn't come to me, I was led to him. By that I mean I went to his "house" to visit. I could draw it, it was that vivid. We talked for hours about his life, my life, the family he left behind, every subject you can think of. I just  can't shake the feeling that is was more then a dream. Funny that it happened on the anniversary of my Mom's passing. Any opinons on this being just a dream or more?

Darn Economy

My husband and I are small business owners in Northern California so needless to say we are struggling. Really struggling.. but over the last few years some good has come out of it.  We are totally back to basics enjoying the simpler, gentler things in life.  For example instead of eating out all the time we are learning to cook together. It comes natural to him, but not for me. I really enjoy it but I need a recipe and he really doesn't.  Tonight we are making Emeril's Split Pea Soup and homemade potato chips.  It smells great now but in the beginning the ham hocks smelled really funky... is that normal?

Hmmmm

My Mom died about two years ago and tonight on the Bachelor they are going to be showing where she was cremated. Not sure how I am going to feel about watching that, but I really want to watch the show so I am going to.

Dinner tonight

We are making Rachael Rays Roasted Root Vegetable Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons and if tastes half as good as it smells,  it is going to be fantastic.

First post.....finally

I really don't know what this blog is going to become to me, if anything at all. It just is something I have been thinking about doing for awhile. So here we go ....
