My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Beverly is at home with Hospice.

Beverly has been home for a few days under Hospice care.  She decided against a feeding tube, and for a hospital bed.  Either my Dad or his wife, Edie, have been with her constantly since she came home.  As soon as I'm done with a test of my own I couldn't reschedule tomorrow morning I'm heading to Lexington, and I'll pass along all your wonderful comments if Edie hasn't already read them to her.

I'll also pass along all the hugs.  She's taking pain medicine around the clock to stay comfortable and is sleeping much of the time, but when she's awake she's her usual self :)

Thank you all again for all your thoughts and prayers.  Hug someone you love today and tell them how much they mean to you in case you don't have the opportunity tomorrow.  Angie

  11. I do hope someone will read this to Beverly. I know you don't know me from 'Adam', as they say, but I just wanted to let Beverly know that she has touched lives she doesn't even realize she has touched. There is no greater success in life.

    1. I picked yours as one of the comments to read to Beverly's pastor to help him understand how much she meant to her blog followers. I suspect he may use it word-for-word in her eulogy :)

    1. I hope I convinced her how many lives she touched with her blog. She had only this summer started looking at her stats, and the massive numbers just made her laugh.
