Gluten Free Cherry Cheesecake

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

D decided that he’d really like to have some cheesecake, so I threw together this quick no-bake version for him.  I simply used a package of broken gluten free arrowroot cookies that crumbled in the blender and some melted butter to create the crust.  I then whipped together a cup of heavy whipping cream, a block of softened cream cheese, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp maraschino cherry syrup (out of jar or homemade), and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract to create the cheesecake filling.  I topped the cheesecake with mini chocolate chips and maraschino cherries before…

A Wise Old Owl

Posted in Family, Photography, and Thoughts

A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren’t we like that wise old bird? ~author unknown~ This beautiful owl has taken up residence in the bushes in our front yard. He/she has been there since D came home from the hospital. It’s a blessing to have this lovely creature available to watch.  It’s a constant reminder to me that the Lord provides for us in many different ways.  When I see an owl, I think of wisdom and deep thinking and being…

I’m blessed with a husband who loves me – a daughter who loves me – a Savior who loves me – a family who loves me… The word love is thrown around all too carelessly in today’s society.  Many people don’t understand what love means – what real love is.  They don’t know the beauty of unconditional love, pure love.  They can’t comprehend how real love sets a person free to become all that they are meant to be.  That unconditional love allows a person’s spirit to soar. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have…

Jurassic Pumpkin

Posted in Family, and Photography

The housing office in base housing offers kids the opportunity to come to the “pumpkin patch” and pick out a pumpkin.  Usually, we seem to miss out on the best pumpkins, but this year, the pumpkin patch opened the day of D’s surgery.  One of the things that I did to keep Munchkin busy was to take her over to pick out her pumpkin.  She was pretty excited that she was able to get a really nice pumpkin. We have a good bit of fun carving pumpkins around our house.  This year was the first time in an extremely long…

Daddy-Daughter Walk

Posted in Family, and Photography

Can you believe that it’s already the first of November?  It’s been just over a week since Daddy had his second back surgery.  We are extremely pleased that he’s already in less pain that he was in prior to this surgery.  The recovery is already going better than after the first surgery.  Praise the Lord! On Monday, we headed over for the follow-up appointment with the surgeon.  He was pleased to hear that things were going well.  The x-rays look good even though all the metal “bling” that he’s now sporting is crazy.  The doc says that he should make…
