St. John’s Lutheran Church and Kitty–A purrfect crawl
A lovely afternoon, historical cemetary crawl in Walhalla, South Carolina at St. John’s Lutheran Church.
My cousin and I toured around the cemetary and a little furry friend joined in our adventure. The kitty hung out with us and even “talked” with us as we walked around, reading incriptions and admiring the stone masonry work.
As seen by the photos, there is quite a collection and variety of stone work and much beauty to behold.
Amy and Issaqueena, Walhalla, South Carolina
A delightful afternoon with my cousin as we joined up for a small adventure! We were having so much fun that we forgot to take pictures at the Waterfalls near the Stumphouse Tunnel in Wahahlla, South Carolina.
A co-worker had given me a few scratch off tickets, which we cashed in and purchased a few more, scratching them off together and laughing, joking, and pondering what we would do if we won the big pot ($10,000 on that particular game.) We didn’t win the big pot but it was fun to play a game of pretend in such beautiful surroundings.
Of course, we picked up awesome lattes and frappuccinos on our way to the waterfalls!

Kings in the Corner-Game night with snacks & Goodies
My sister hosted game night and we played the card game “King in the Corners”. My sister made homemade Apple Cinnamon Bread with apples and caramel dip. Papa brought fried chicken and fish. My Sweetness also joined in the games and fun–My sister and nephew also played in the games and goodies!
Life is better with loved ones and fun family nights! Of course, the highlight of the evening was getting to play with my nephew and watching “bop bop” along to music and hearing him squwak along as he played card with us.

If you want to partake in the fried chicken and fish, Papa picked up both at the hot food department at the local Ingles Grocery stores!
It’s Saucy to make Juice–canning tomatoes in jars
My grandmother’s skills are alive and well as she taught both my mother and myself to can/pickle/jar produce. Holly also joined in the canning and jarring of over 2 boxes of fresh tomatoes (from Honey Acres in Wiggins, Colorado).
While it’s not a difficult task, it does take time to make, from blending up the tomatoes to simmering it down in a giant pot (seasoned, of course) to steaming the jars and lids with sealers and more! It’s a task worth while though and the three of us had so much fun! We had an abundance and as seen, we had made many quarts of successful tomatoe juice for sauces and more!
A Rockin’ Good Time-Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Walnut encrusted fillets-an easy whole meal
My neighbor moved back to Egypt (she was an international student) and gave me some odds and ends from her kitchen (versus wasting perfectly good items!) What else to do but use up the items!
I put the partial bag of flour (about 4 cups worth? ) in a a re-usable plastic dish with snap on lid) and dumped in the partial small bottles of spices-including thyme, pepper, a mixed blend of “fish fry” spices, and some salt, and other items. I dolled out about 1 cup of the mix into a paper bag (small).
I put a half of stick of butter in the bottom of a deep skillet on low heat to melt.
The four fish filets were coated in an egg washed, shaken in the paper bag of coating, and placed in the butter and pan, the heat turned up to medium, once flipped coarse chopped walnuts were added and cooked with the fish until done. I added the green beans she gave me, with Rendered Molasses and candied almonds to the pan and all warmed up; served with mandarin oranges.
Garden and Chicken-Indonesian Inspired stack bowl
My Sweetheart’s Mother planted a small garden before going to visit family and asked me to help him take care of it while she is on vacation-what to do with the harvest but to eat the bounty!

2 Green Bell Peppers
1 large (or 2-3 small fresh zuchinni)
2 small purple onions
4-6 toes of garlic
2-4 fresh Jalepenos
10-15 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Himalayan Salt, Pepper, and ground cumin

Ladel the steamed/sautched vegetables into the bottom of a bowl, top with the chicken korma mix, enjoy! Top with a bit of siracha sauce and/or feta cheese.
