Book Review: Her Best Catch by Lindi Peterson

I recently had the chance to read “Her Best Catch,” a Christian romance by Lindi Peterson and published by Bell Bridge Books. I enjoyed the story quite a bit. Our main character is Allison Doll, a woman who’s not quite thirty and has all but given up on romance. She’s an auditor by profession, a devoted Christian, and she lives with her mother and grandmother, seeking to support and comfort them after the tragic death of her father. Each of these women is seeking comfort in a different way, and Allison finds her greatest strength in her religious beliefs. When … Continue reading →

Easter Sunday Fun

I come from a large family. On special occasions my family gathers together to celebrate. Since we moved to Texas, I have missed out on these family events. I am so happy, then, that my friends down the street have adopted us into their family. Last year on Easter Sunday Chris and I joined our neighbors at her parents’ house for Easter dinner, egg hunt, and a general good time. We had Jessie and our initial placement had returned, so we had two two-year-olds. I was hoping for an invitation to this year’s Easter festivities and I was not disappointed. … Continue reading →

Five of Nashville’s Best Breakfast Spots

Whether you’re a visitor to the Music City or a local, nothing starts off a day better than a good breakfast. Below are my picks for five of Nashville’s best breakfast spots. 1. The Loveless Motel and Cafe – Fried chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits beloved by hungry travelers navigating Highway 100 made the Loveless Cafe famous, but it also serves up an excellent Southern-style breakfast. Besides the abundance of good food, the fun of eating at the Loveless Cafe is the setting. The restaurant proper resides in what was once a home, circa early 1900s. (The original house still remains, … Continue reading →

Tips for Surviving Fast Sunday

Fast Sunday is coming up soon, the day that elicits more groans and complaints than any other day the rest of the month. Here are some tips that might help you make it through the day. 1. Choose a specific thing or person to fast for. If you focus on that person and their needs and what you hope will happen for them, or on the thing you need in your own life, you’re more likely to stay on task and be more committed to the fast you’ve undertaken. If you don’t have a specific purpose in your fast, you’re … Continue reading →

The Pets Blog Week in Review for July 21-27

Monday, July 21 Just how much does your pet influence your lifestyle? Do you even know? Or are you well aware of their impact?

Sunday Travel Funnies: Gas and Giggles

Yesterday my best friend called from Hawaii to inform me that a gallon of regular unleaded gas has now reached $4.50 in our hometown (that, and her son broke his arm at a local playground). The record breaking price of fuel is no laughing matter for families who live on a fixed income, but what might get a few giggles is the way some folks have been dealing with the financial burden. For example, in Arlington, Washington, staff members at a local dental office are switching from four wheels to four legs to save money on gas. According to reports, … Continue reading →

A Sunday in the Life…

I love my dogs. As I type, Lally is walking over and around the laptop (one of the perils of sitting on the bed to work). Moose is laying on the floor beside the bed, occasionally treating me to an SBD. But really, the most special part of the day was our walk earlier. I got home from work at the cats only boarding facility just after eleven. Like every other morning that I work, I stop long enough to drop off my purse and keys, grab the leashes, and head out with the dogs for a walk. Barely ten … Continue reading →
