My friend Sherry made a cake for my birthday a few years ago that was so exquisite and delicious, I think angels created it. It’s full of richness and silky flavor. There’s no baking, it’s really just an assembly process – whip and layer. This delicacy won’t be on any diet plan; however enjoying once […]
Homemade Pillowcases
Wow. It’s been 10 months since I popped in here on the blog. Adventures continue to occur here in the Ballpark, but I have to say, sometimes they are too tender to share, or I just can’t bring myself to spill out into cyberspace the things that weigh me down. I always wanted this blog to […]

Our Idaho Potato (happy birthday, Zach!)
Our baby has a birthday today. We were living in Idaho when I delivered this 10-pound, cuddle-bug spud. He arrived after just a couple of hours in the birthing chair, which was a fairly new contraption at the time. I knew he was a boy, even though I’d never had an ultrasound. My belly was […]

Our hearts are bleeding, and our words are gushing out unfiltered because we are so angry and heartbroken. News outlets and social media are on fire with accusations from all sides: it’s a gun problem, a mental […]

In God’s Timing
Two years ago last week, I was in Maryland experiencing one of the worst snow storms Beltsville had ever seen. My sister and I walked around the neighborhood and saw piles of shoveled snow nearly as tall as we were. I love seeing my sister, but on this particular visit, I was eager to get […]

30 Things I’m Thankful For – 2017
I wrote this post in 2013. I re-read it recently and realized one third of the things I was grateful for at the time no longer apply. Like walking with my good friend Cindy (she moved), my 10-bucks-a-month gym membership (I changed gyms), relatively well parents (now just partially well), my favorite restaurant (this has […]
