The Best Laid Plans

Blog | 0 comments |

I like to plan. I like to plan, and I like to make lists. Oh, I’m not really a super organized person by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just that planning and making lists helps me to feel like I’m trying to be organized. It also helps me to see beyond today and examine the future possible results of the choices I make. I wasn’t always like this. Despite...

A Lion’s Heart Beats with More Than Words

Love Looks Like Chicken

Husband of a Different Color Back in 1999 Bill and I were celebrating our third wedding anniversary. A friend had given us a gift card for a romantic dinner at the elegant Dierdorf & Hart's in St. Louis. We were young and in love and thrilled at the promise of the delicious food that was awaiting us! It’s in my nature to adventurously try new things, especially when it comes to food.
