About Me: I'm in my mid-50's. My husband and I have been married for almost 30 years. We have 4 grown children (2 of each), a wonderful son and daughter-in-law, and the 7 most beautiful grandchildren ever to have been born (4 boys, 3 girls). I spent 20 years homeschooling our kids. Now I enjoy spending time with our grandchildren when I can, and DH and I enjoy traveling. My greatest joy comes in my relationship with the Lord and living for Him.

My Greatest Cooking Triumph: I would probably have to say it was making baklava and still keeping my sanity.

My Biggest Kitchen Disaster: Many years ago I tried my first and ONLY jello mold. I chose a church potluck for this experiment. I had a bunny shaped jello mold and I decide to use unflavored gelatin and flavor it with apple juice. I also decided to put raisin's (which I don't really care for, so what was I thinking?) in the jello. The raisins settled in the bunny's posterior region. It did NOT look very appetizing, and not many people tried it.

My Food For Thought: Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:35
