Literary limbo

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 27 Apr

I'm mentioned that my husband Dale has written a book of several of his sermons. What a stressful endeavor! But between the two of us and our son in law who is a college professor, we finally got it ready to send to the printer....

Such a nice Easter

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 21 Apr

Dale and I went to our former church, the one that burned two years ago, for their Easter service yesterday. They rebuilt it, but on a smaller scale, although the inside looks almost identical. It was a nice service and they had...

What a wide ranging subject! Think about your favorite anything. Food, kitchen stuff, authors, colors, flowers, games, books, paintings.... As Julie Andrews said, "These are a few of my favorite things." Y'all know I love...

When kindness means more than manners

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 8 Apr

I don't think I'm named after Queen Victoria, but I love the story of when she showed kindness to a dinner guest. After a formal dinner, a foreign visitor who didn't know that the small bowl of water was to be used to clean one's...

Yummy dinner today (yes, another dinner post!)

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 7 Apr

I cooked a pot of veggie soup for dinner today. Used venison burger and sausage, plus veggies with cabbage, green beans, carrots, potatoes, ketchup, bullion cubes, onion powder, salt, pepper, and of course a little sugar. I had a...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 4 Apr

A few days ago our daughter Tammy heard something on the roof of their house. They kept trying to find out what it was and when they went outside to investigate, they saw a goose on the roof of the house! They couldn't figure out...

I admit it: I love Peeps!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 3 Apr

Easter season has the best kinds of candy, I think. I love the malted milk eggs, anything Reese, chocolate covered bunnies, the list goes on. But my all time favorite is Peeps. I'm out in the open about it now. I used to wear a...

Working on a cookbook

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 29 Mar

After a suggestion from @lilacskies, I decided to type up my recipes. I have hundreds of recipes from magazines and online, but I have a small recipe book that my granddaughter gave me years ago. So, I'm going to type up those and...

chocolate chip cookies!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 28 Mar

I made some chocolate chip cookies this afternoon (semi sweet chips and chopped pecans) and I think I ate too many. Or is there such a thing? Yeah, I'm afraid so. But they were just so good! I've about given...

Chipotle, anyone?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 28 Mar

Have you ever eaten at the Mexican fast food place Chipotle? Did you like it? We decided to try it. Wish we hadn't. Well, actually we didn't. We went in thinking it was kind of like a cafeteria of Mexican food. I thought there...

Dinner today, my way

For dinner (lunch) today I'm fixing fried rice with pieces of pork, carrots, broccoli, rice of course, water chestnuts if I have them in the pantry, and soy sauce. I'll also fry some chicken croquettes. That's probably about all,...

My cousin gave us some fresh white perch and catfish yesterday and we fried it today. He loves to fish and this is a great time of year for it. He suggested something that we decided to try. Dale marinated both kinds of fish in...

Eulogy, not obituary

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 26 Mar

I posted about writing my own obit which I still think is a good idea, but I realized I was actually thinking about writing my eulogy. They're two different things. So now I have two documents going. One is the names and dates...

Writing your own eulogy?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 22 Mar

I read a suggestion for this on FB, I think. It says we should write our own eulogy before we die. Well, it would be rather difficult after we die. But I think it's a good idea. We can talk about people we love who made a...

A little poem that was a song....well, aren't they all?

Many years ago, I took guitar lessons at our local community college. I had dreams of being a country music singer and wanted to be able to play a guitar. Well, it didn't take long to realize that I just wanted to be a guitar...

Perfect spring day

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43399) • United States 19 Mar

It is absolutely beautiful here today. Temps in the low 70s, sunny, so nice out. I went to Walmart this morning and bought some groceries...sticker shock, of course. But at least there were eggs. Dale's been tractoring. He...
