It seems like we’ve been gone forever, but it was only a ten day break. We went to a place called the Bear Inn Retreat and I and a bunch of other folks studied ways to help other people find peace and live with joy. Dan and I met a lot of nice folks, meditated, studied, presented one session, and I got another book ready for publishing in the off times and he wrote a term paper for his college class. (OK, so we don’t rest like the rest of you all do. Writing is a joy to me and I can’t imagine a day not writing.) It was time well spent recharging our batteries and now we’ll be much better able to serve God and others with a clearer sense of purpose.

And as for the book I finished; it was just published and is available on Amazon. I am making up the marketing for this month and will be posting about several specials but for now, have a look at this new book. It’s a memoir based on my childhood memories and the recipes left to me by my mom when she passed: here I am passing on those that made the most impression on me when I went through it all; it brought back so many good times. At times nostalgic, at times indignant, and always tasty to consider making, enjoy the book with me. I hope it brings a smile to your face.
