HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

(picture from usa.usembassy.de)

The parades are fun, the games are competitive and sometimes the family get togethers are just as competitive and dramatic ;)

But one thing I hope we all remember on this day goes along with the following scripture:

Psalm 95:2-3

Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

Happy Birthday USA

Celebrating the birth of our nation! Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July holiday!

'Tis the season! For ELF!


Around my house, the movie ELF can be seen year around. My daughter loves it. I love it. We have memorized many scenes. After a whole Thanksgiving weekend of watching ELF several times, sometimes back-to-back showings, I began to recognize some things that can be useful to writers. Read more on the F.A.I.T.H. blog.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving weekend. We are headed to the mountains for what we hope is a peaceful few days of trout fishing and enjoying nature.

Here's a recipe that is a favorite of my family and is one of my Granny Hinton's.
This will definitely be on our table.


Hashbrown Casserole

1-2 lbs hasbrown potato, thawed
1 stick of butter (I use unsalted to control the salt :)
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 cup cream of chicken soup
1 cup grated cheese
2 cups sour cream


Mix all ingredients except potatoes, then add potatoes and mix lightly. Put in a greased baking dish. Top with 2 cups cornflakes or crackers - crushed. Then top with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Depending on the size of your dish, this could make two dishes.

Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
