This month I’ve been exploring love in all of it’s glorious nuances and applications. We've talked about the importance of loving one's self, the ups and downs of romantic love, and today I’d like to cover eternal love. Love that knows no time limits, no constraints, no bounds whatsoever.
We've spent some time on love of one's self, romantic love, and eternal love... this blog is devoted to love of family.
My nephew, is a 3rd year student at the University of Washington (yes, proud auntie!) After two years of dorm living, he's now in an apartment and having to cook for himself. Look at this savory beef strudel he made! I've got this recipe and so many more at Delilah.com.
Romantic love is intoxicating and exhilarating, it makes you feel as if you can leap tall buildings or swim across the ocean to be with your true love. It's the stuff of poetry, plays, movies, lyrics, and sometimes, all out war.
February is welcomed here like the Mother Ship returning to the outpost with fresh supplies and news from home. (Pardon, so many of my children are sci-fi fans, I’ve begun to speak their language!)
Baby Delilah was a healthy, active baby and toddler, meeting all her benchmarks on time or early until she was 2. At that time she was afflicted by a mysterious illness and became unable to walk or move, her eye drooped, she became lax and unresponsive. Rushed to the hospital, there was no answers.

So the election has finally coming to an end. The commercials will disappear and the daily rhetoric will become less.... but the divisive energy that has adversely affected us all could very well continue to steal your serenity. Don't let it!
Come hang out with John McLemore - Mr. Masterbuilt - and me as he smokes and fries up some food that's DADGUM Good, and we spend time laughing and eating together.
I often encourage people to make more time to do the things they love to do. In this crazy busy world, it’s not easy to find time to feed your soul amid everything else you must get done.
Good taste doesn't have to be time consuming. The folks at Moore's prove this time and again - all you need is some good sauce!
This week, focus on the home – even if it’s just a temporary residence – and dream up a little corner you can redesign or a patio you can bring to life with plants, or a bookshelf you can dust off to collect books and trinkets.
Painting a room in your home brings a new life to that space; bedroom, living room, kitchen or any other area that seems to be suffering from the doldrums.
Right now, while the air is warm and the windows can be flung open wide in appreciation of vistas and ventilation, is perfect for painting projects!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads on my reader list, and all those who are not. To all those who gave life and love, and bestowed gifts and values upon their children.
Most of you have heard me talk about my own father. He was a complicated and conflicted man. We had a complicated and conflicted relationship. I am ever-grateful to him for shaping me, consciously or unconsciously, into the person I am today.
I remember him with love.
Can I come garden with you??? The fabulous folks at The Home Depot are giving me an opportunity to do just that!
I love to share my love of gardening. So I asked my Home Depot friends to help me out and they have! I get to visit YOUR home, help plan YOUR garden, shop with YOU at The Home Depot and then work next to YOU planting and installing!
