Every summer, you can find the hubby and I at a few tractor shows - while he loves all the tractors, after an hour or so, I get restless ( I like tractors, but after awhile the details start to blend) and go walk the flea markets! Well, I happened to see a booth by American Forging (Unique, American Made, Hand Forged Aluminum Giftware with anvil and hammer)  this summer - I loved the idea of taking aluminum cans and recycling them into something so neat! The Cornucopia caught my eye - and my handsome Hubby, being the sweet man that he is, bought me the Cornucopia Hors D'oeurve Tray!  I was thrilled! I keep it on my china hutch and proudly show it off to all my guests! Well, a few months ago, I stumbled across their Facebook page and entered to win a few of their giveaways...... guess what?? I won a Dragonfly Ornament (which I gave to my oldest daughter and now she proudly shows it off. And.... it gets better...... I also won a colored Cornucopia ...

The Grace of God by Andy Stanley  Rating: 3 Stars  Grace. We all need it. Grace is God pouring out on us what we don't deserve. When we sin we deserve nothing less than punishment from God, yet instead He came in the form of His Son to take the punishment for us. This was the ultimate show of God's grace, and it is given to us freely. Grace is one of the greatest gifts in the world. Andy Stanley traces the theme of God's grace throughout the Bible. He begins with Genesis and ends with the Great Commission. He shows us God's grace through the lives of many men and women in the Bible, who were affected when God extended grace to them. He chooses Bible characters with various backgrounds, that correspond to the various backgrounds and baggage that men and women of today might experience.  He tells the Bible stories as if you were telling a story to a friend, rather than quoting them from the Bible, which gives readers a fresh perspective. But it a...

Designed by: Vocatio Publishers  Author: Monika Kustra  Illustrator: Andrzej Chalecki  Adapted by: Betty Free Swanberg Rating: 5 Stars Let me start by saying – this is by far the very best kids Bible story book I have ever seen!  All 49 Bible stories are fully detailed in bright, vibrant colored illustrations done by Andrzej Chalecki. Kids are so visual at this age and will love the fun, colorful, simple illustrations.  I love the fact that that each story is not limited to one page like most Children's Bibles are. By making the stories span 4- 7 pages, the author is not rushing through the story. She includes interactions in the text such as, "Close your eyes. Now, what do you see? You don't see anything, do you? Everything is dark." My kids really liked being able to interact with the story.  My ten year old loves to read this book to her four year old brother – and they enjoy doing the activities together!  Another ...

Every fall - we get apples from Michigan, picked fresh off the tree's - at a very nice price I might add. My sister and husband make quite a few trips up there and always come back with bushels of apples, pears, sweet cherries, plums, peaches, grapes, and other fruit. On their last load they brought back 600+ bushel of apples! I always buy both Gala and Golden Delicious apples each year. The Gala are mainly saved for eating - these are about 6 weeks old now, and still keeping great in the garage. The yellow Golden Delicious is what I make my applesauce, apple butter, apple pie filling and apple cobblers with - they are sweet enough you only need to add a very little amount of sugar! OK, so now for the quickest apple cobbler - here we go - You need two round pie crust's - I buy them at Aldi, as I do not like the mess that making homemade pie crust's make - They come in a box of 2 and are around $1.79 per box. Place a pie crust in the bott...
