Grape clusters dangle from grapevines all through the Bible. Jesus taught us significant lessons connected to the vine and to Himself as The Vine. Grapes most often are eaten by the handful or in a salad. We’re suggesting you try them in a slushie! For directions to make the refreshing treat we direct your attention […]
I’ve resurrected this post for your Resurrection Celebration this week! Lemon seems to fit the season perfectly. This is a different link to the recipe than I previously shared.

Definitely reminiscent of a wonderful memory, the aroma of cinnamon immediately transports me to her kitchen and the desire to spend time with her again. On the other hand, the stench of stale […]

One member shared with m later, “I felt like we were at C-B’s Coffee Cottage.” How sweet a sentiment, but was it really true? This friend’s health challenges keep her from […]
