Kayla and I had been looking forward to some time together after being apart almost two whole weeks ~ I was in Texas and then she was in the Dominican Republic. So, last Tuesday we ventured downtown, got frozen yogurt, and then checked out some books at the library. There are two frozen yogurt shops… Read More Yogurt and Out
My friend, Mari…{Well, she’s really only my Facebook friend, and the cousin of my dear friend and middle school Spanish teacher, Kelly/Miss Riggs…but those things and the fact that she’s from Texas, and makes gluten free treats, make me love her and know that she is a kindred spirit. ☺} Anyway, Mari is a fitness… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ MariGold Bars!

He’s got a big day of preaching, teaching, meeting, and greeting ahead of him! 3:55… Read More Swim, Bike, Run = Fun!
Yesterday was a gorgeous here – about 75 degrees, clear and sunny. (Sorry Texas, Oklahoma, & California.) Robert decided to join me in an early trip to the farm to pick up our weekly share. Good thing he did, or else I would have been there twice as long picking beans. Most things are already… Read More Saturday Love, Veggie Love, Cindy Love

Maybe I didn’t use enough of the pre-made kombucha in my batch. Maybe it wasn’t a warm enough atmosphere. I searched high and… Read More Kombucha, Hot Chocolate, and WATER!
