"Chicken Dumplings ~ You Never Had It So Good!" Chicken and Dumplings ~ I have to say this version is quicker and easier than your Grandmother's recipe and still has the great "from-scratch" flavor that tastes like it simmered for hours.  No one will know (not even Grandma) and your time-saved in...

"(Not So) Wordless Wednesday ~ This Winter Has Really Hung On!"   As I start to enjoy the sign's of Spring, it's the nights that still show us Winter has not quite left.  With night's still in the high 30's and low 40's I am still unable to put away the extra quilts and blankets that have kept us...

"Tuesday's Treasures ~ There is no end to it" There is really no end to my daughter's loving and caring spirit.  As I watch her and see how she continues to give love, support, kindness, and generosity to her family and friends, I find myself more and more proud of who she has become.  I also bel...

"Motivational Monday ~ One's Who Inspire Us!" I am always inspired by so many wonderful people here on ActiveRain.  So I thought I would honor someone every Monday on Motivational Monday.  The first person I would like to honor is my good friend Roy Kelley.  Everytime I stop by his blog/posts he ...

"I'm not Southern but....  I love this one!" If you like Chicken you will have to try this one!  Southern Oven "Fried" Chicken is another favorite in our house.

I have always been fascinated by trails, paths and even railroad tracks that lead off somewhere that is far beyond what my eyes can see.  In my mind I dream of where will this lead to, what will I see when I get there, an...

"Look what's Popping Up!" I am really looking forward to this week.  Starting tomorrow the weather is predicted to start to climb to a sunny 74 degrees by the first of April.  It's going to be great to not only see the sun out but feeling it's warmth as well.  It really has been a long winter and...

"Silent Saturday ~ Help Solve the Mystery???" How often have you seen Abalone Shells as an outdoor decoration?  I passed by this the other day and thought to myself; this kind of outdoor decoration has been used on fences and out in yards for years.  Then I thought, is this just a California thin...

Friday's Fotos.... Look what the Rain brought in! For days now it has been raining here in Northern California.  I'm not generally a fan of rain..  but over the past few days I've seen the plants and flowers blooming and turning more green then ever.  I came to realize that without this precious ...

"Thankful Thursdays ~ What an Angel" My daughter is an angel.  She's bright, funny, beautiful, sweet, kind, compassionate, and very talented and she always has been.  Even if she wasn't any of the things that I mentioned above I would still love her and cherish every moment that I have been given...
