More than 50 ways to celebrate. Seriously!!!!!

When Jerry and I tried to think of ways to celebrate our 50th anniversary, nothing we discussed seemed quite right. Pack rats that we are, we certainly didn’t want a party where friends would bring gifts. We actually thought about throwing a party where friends would have to take home …

The season of giving is over. Tell that to Anthem. Seriously!!!

The Season of giving is over. Seriously? The Hanukkah and Christmas seasons are behind us, but giving continues in our little Anthem community.  On February 2, Cross of Christ Church is holding a fundraiser at Ironwood Country Club to benefit children/teens who are aging out of the foster system.  Take …

Saying goodbye to a wonderful example of God’s love…until we meet again.

Lavender Cookies, Seriously? Yeah, Seriously Good!!

Several years ago a couple from our church gave us some lavender cookies AND a package of organic lavender. Thus began a new ministry of making lavender cookies to gift,  especially for friends going through chemotherapy.  There’s something about the lavender that helps control nausea.
