Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: Orange
If I thought last week’s challenge to find something yellow was next to impossible, I cannot begin to explain how hard finding something orange was… Seriously, where is all of the orange stuff? Kid you not, even the pumpkins were white. White pumpkins?! What is that? Then I remembered that I’d picked up some oranges on my last trip to the grocery store, so I took them out of the fridge and snapped away. Not the most inspired photographs but then, while driving to church on Sunday night, I saw this… And this… I was late for church but I think sometimes we need to just pull over and admire…

How Come No One’s Missing Jahesseye Shockley
Actually, there are a few people who’re missing her ~ her family, myself and the many bloggers who’ve complained about the lack of coverage that Jahessey’s receiving. But you wouldn’t know that if you were simply relying on the media to provide information. Five~year~old Jahesseye Shockley of Glendale, Arizona has been missing since 11 October when she was last seen at home by her three older siblings while her mother was out running errands. Last week, I posted a little tirade on my Facebook page about the lack of coverage that Jahesseye Shockley is receiving by the media. I stated that I didn’t want to throw the race card on…

Book Tour: The Tehran Initiative by Joel C. Rosenberg
BOOK DESCRIPTION (FROM THE INSIDE JACKET) IS IT FICTION, OR IS IT REAL? The world is on the brink of disaster. Iran has just conducted its first atomic weapons test.

Meatless Monday: Crockpot 4 Bean Chili with Rice
Soooo, the family survived the first round of Meatless Monday! I’m so incredibly proud of them. I fully expected a lot of grumbling and sneaking of meat but the kids were all over that Spinach, Tomato and Cheese Tortellini (click here for the recipe). In the interest full disclosure, the hubs was out of town, so it was pretty easy to get the kids on board. Tonight, the hubs is home (cue screams, wails and shrieks)… We’re having Crockpot 4 Bean Chili with Rice. We have to have rice with our chili, that’s a mainstay in this family. Here’s the recipe that I used: 15 oz can Dark Red…

Sister Sister at Creative Ewe Pottery
Today I did something so unlike me, something so far from who I am that I’m surprised that I did it. I attended a social outing with, wait for it, people! I know, right? And I had fun! One of the things that I wanted to do when I moved here was step out of my comfort zone and do things I never would have done on my own. And, so far, I have to say, I’m meeting (exceeding?) my goals. I spent yesterday at the church helping out with the fish dinner and, like I said, today I painted pottery. First let me explain what Sister Sister is… It’s…
