Great is Thy Faithfulness
A quick update on my Mom. Surgery went well. She was off the ventilator 2 hours AFTER surgery. She is still in the ICU/Heart Unit at the hospital and will be there until they release her to come home; probably another 4 days. The doctor said mom's valve was so narrow he didn't know how […]

Mom's 80th Birthday Party
This week's Tuesday's Question is an EASY ONE as I've been away from my blog for awhile... "What has everyone been up to?"

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:3 As Christians we are to be “like a tree planted by the rivers of water.” Not just a river, but […]
Homemade Italian Bread
Have you ever made homemade bread?I have and I've been making homemade bread for years and it's not hard! I've even made it without my Kitchen Aid Mixer! But a few years ago the Colonel gave me a Kitchen Aid mixer for Mother's Day and it's wonderful. If you don't have a mixer […]
Cauliflower with Creamy Cheese Sauce
Today is Day Two of SIDE DISHES. Today's dish is another dish that I've been making for awhile and when I made it last week, the Colonel said to me, "Have you shared this recipe with your blogger friends?" I said, "No, it's just cauliflower." Well, as you can see, he […]
Fettuccine with Oven Roasted Tomatoes
As I mentioned yesterday, I plan on sharing different Side Dishes with you this week.

Our first Side Dish of […]

Happy Tuesday! The sun is shining today here in PA and all the snow that fell on Saturday is almost gone. A little sad about that, but glad the sun is shining. For this week's Tuesday Question, I'm asking something that I've thought about a lot. "What is the one thing you would grab if your […]

EASY Pork Loin
Pork. Either you LOVE it or you... well, let's just the Colonel was never a fan. Which I always found strange because he loves ham sandwiches. He loves barbecue ribs. And let's not even mention his love for egg and bacon omelets. But put a piece of pork on a plate in front […]

I Am Thankful
I am thankful for: The mess to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed, well the Colonel is! My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine. The […]
Leftover Pie Crust Cookies
Yesterday I shared with you Chicken Pot Pie with Homemade Pie Crust. Most of the time when you're cooking with pie crust, either homemade or store-bought, you have leftover dough. What to do besides eating it raw? When I was a little girl my mother use to take the dough and sprinkle the pieces with […]

Here's a beautiful promise: Psalms 32:7 "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Selah When I was a little girl growing up hearing my father preach, he once devoted every Wednesday Night Bible Study to the book of Psalms. One Psalm, every […]
Lasagna Roll Ups
Lasagna Roll Ups Our family loves Italian food. We really could eat it a few times a week, but I try to limit it to just once. I've been making Lasagna Roll Ups for years. When we were first married I would make lasagna the traditional way, in LAYERS, but it was usually a […]
Scripture Sunday...
"I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no Savior." Isaiah 43: 11 AND... "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." Isaiah 43: 25 Beautiful. The Lord doesn't remember our sins, shouldn't we do the same?
Tuesday's Question...Why is my Blog Called Walking on Sunshine
Why is my blog is called Walking on Sunshine? I'm sure most of you have heard of the song, "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. But I thought I'd share with you exactly why I chose Walking on Sunshine as the title for my blog over 3 years ago. The […]
Getting Rid of our Home Phone
So the Colonel and I finally canceled our home phone. Yesterday was the first day of only having our cell phones to connect to the outside world. And you know what? I love it. Seriously, I didn't get one call from someone trying to sell me something or trying to collect money for their charity. […]
It's Looking Like Fall
Like many other bloggers, Fall is my favorite season. It's actually the Colonel's favorite season also. So, the other day I asked the Colonel to please bring my "orange" boxes up from the storage room. Felt so good to unpack them. I didn't unpack them last year. My Colonel was in Afghanistan last year and […]
Olivia's Mac and Cheese
When Olivia was a baby, she LOVED mac and cheese. I use to make it, home-made of course, and freeze it in ice cube trays. But as she grew, her love for mac and cheese changed and she would only eat mac and cheese from a box. Last year I experimented with the […]
Mean Mom
Yes, I am a Mean Mom. I won't let you drive to work when it's snowing outside and the town we live in forgets to send out the salt trucks. I will pick you up at 11:30 at night because the snow that fell earlier is now turning to ice and the town we live […]
Boulder Field
Last weekend, we took a little trip to Boulder Field. A National Natural Landmark that was created after one of the ice ages when a glacier melted and left a TREMENDOUS amount of boulders. We went with friends from church. This State Park is about 30 minutes north of our house. BUT once you reach […]
Welcome Home!
Yes, my Colonel is HOME! Took him 6 days to get to us. He arrived home last Wednesday. My son took the pictures and you can he was only focusing on his dad. But that's okay! I do love this one! One big happy family! When he walked through the security gates, the guards started […]
I'm Alive!
You know it's time to update your blog when your husband sends you an email from Afghanistan sounding like the Colonel he is insisting that I update with something! It's just been so hard to find something, anything to write about! Not much going on in my life. My Colonel is still in Afghanistan. […]
Happy Father's Day!
If you've been a follower of my blog for some time now, you know how much I miss my dad. He's been gone for 2 years now and I never thought his death would leave such a void in my life. But this post is not about that. It's to say THANK YOU […]
Dear Dr. Martucci
In the future when I come to your office complaining of various symptoms that require you to place me on an antibiotic, will you please GIVE ME THE STRONGEST antibiotic that you have access to? For example, at the beginning of the year I came down with something. I have no memory of what […]
I'm Still Here
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I went back to the doctor on Thursday and am happy to report that I now have bronchitis on top of the throat infection and the ear infection. The coughing has been pretty bad. But I'm managing, feeling better every day. I read a […]
Alarm Clock...
About a year ago I stopped using our clock radio as an alarm. It just kept forgetting to go off! Not a good thing when you have to get up at a certain time to get the kids on the bus or for the Colonel to leave for his drive back down to Ft. Dix […]
Mother's Day
So what do you do when it's Mother's Day and yourhubby is halfway around the world?

The fountains around the restaurant... Pretty... The entry way and […]

I Am RELIEVED!
Yes I am relieved to find out that I'm not alone in my obsessive ways! After I posted Monday's post, I actually thought of DELETING it. I thought do I really want people to know these things about me? But life got busy and when I came back to delete the post a few of […]
