Appalachian Region

It has always been a desire of mine to work with children in the Appalachian region. My husband and I have been helping a couple with their ministry in that area for the past three weeks. Our days have been filled with various things from cooking pies to leading Bible studies to helping clean. Now we are home and I must get busy with some projects. Hope to have something to post next week.

We did not have internet while we were away. When I checked my blog on Thursday evening I discovered it was a mess. The template I  used had been changed and there were other issues. Because of that, the blog has a different look.

Hope you have a good weekend!

More Baby Things

First, I want to apologize about the poor lighting of my pictures.
A couple of months back I made some gifts for Kylie. Evangeline is her cousin, so it was a must that she have some neat things as well. I know their grandmother is going to have fun with two granddaughters so close together. I can already hear the giggles in the years to come.







Try to stay cool in this horrible heat.

Gumbo

I have always made my own roux. It was just something about browning the oil and flour and putting that chopped onion in at the end. Oh, I can smell it now. Then I saw this powdered roux and thought I would try it. It is from Opelousas, my husband's hometown, and it has 0 fat grams. Another thing is Savoie is a name that is always a good sign for cajun food. Well, I want you to know I tried it and we were pleased. I do believe that there will be a jar in my pantry from now on.
