Patti’s recipe was so good last week that I went hunting on her blog for more pasta! And, found some here. I am beginning to think she and Doc like noodles as much as hubs and I do. I did ask her permission to post it but all the recipe credit goes to Cooking Light… [Read More]

Quietude June 25th, 2017
Photo Credit: Scott Webb Isaiah 26.3 was my mom’s life verse from the Old Testament and there’s no question it’s a good one, yet because of verse three I never paid too much attention to the “rest of the story” or chapter.
