Decorating - JustTech FDC - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Warm Blueberry Jam

Warm Blueberry Jam - this delicious recipe reminds me of special Saturday morning breakfasts cooked by my mom when I was a kid. This was also a favorite surprise on family camping trips.

First Planting Day!

It was finally planting day at my new home in the northeast "Big Woods"! Moving 1,200 miles from my South Louisiana home of 17 years was tough in many ways, one of which was leaving my flowers.
