I noticed earlier on Facebook that Stephanie and the majority of her family are ill. We all know that she has a large family, so you can just imagine how difficult this must be right now. At any rate, she could use a few prayers from the prayer warriors here at Mrs. S! I didn't see anything posted here about this situation, but I wanted to make sure that everybody knew. Stephanie is awfully important to us here so I'm sending a big old hug for her, too!

Hi, everybody!
I just wanted to let you all know that my new book, A Slice of Heaven is now available on Amazon.com in both Kindle and Paperback! It is not part of the Bystander series, but the next installment of that is coming soon.
Here you can find A Slice of Heaven for Kindle:
and here is the link for Paperback:
From the back cover:
AnnaLeigh is the wife of the successful Reverend Isaiah Scott. Their marriage was deeply rooted in the church that they built together. Somehow, they lost sight of eachother as their congregation multiplied like loaves and fishes and they each became consumed with separate day-to-day routines. AnnaLeigh's mysterious disappearance and her husband's delayed reaction lead police investigators to suspect foul play. As more evidence is uncovered in the search, the police are left to conclude that there is more to her life than Bible study and singing in the choir. The real question is: What does her husband know and was it enough to push him over the edge to break the first commandment?
I hope that you enjoy it!

I'm so glad that you're back and doing well! It seems that we got our Christmas present a bit early. I know that I definitely missed your photos...

What a wonderful story! All things happen for a reason and these events were certainly no accident!

Looks like you all had a great time, Philbe! What a cute dog!

I need to add a photo of something to my profile. I lost Marvin the Martian...

I think we've all had days like that. Yesterday was my day. I like to keep a big Sun Tea jar of iced tea in my fridge. My nephew had given me a box of Bigelow Tea and thought it would be a good choice for iced tea. I opened 3 tea bags and removed the strings. It wasn't until 5 minutes after I added the water that I realized that all of the tea bags were leaking grounds into the water. I forgot...Bigelow tea bags aren't held closed by a staple, they are held closed by the string. By pulling out the strings, I'd unsealed them all!
At least you like corn pudding! (I hate straining tea!

I hope that she had a wonderful day!

It is good that you found it, Cat, but what would you do with that much butter if your power went out? I've never kept more than 12-15 lbs of butter in my freezer at one time and it gets used within the year. If my power went out during the summer, I'd probably lose whatever butter was in the freezer at that time. I never really thought about it until I read your post.
I tend to think of cooking oil/olive as being the fat that I store, since it is shelf stable (though it can still get rancid). I suppose in an emergency, I could trade a pound of butter to someone without any for something else that my family might want...
With the meat/veggies in the freezer, I can cook it as it thaws and can up what we can't use promptly...I can't do that with butter, though!

I swear that I'm not the mushy, weepy type, but I have tears in my eyes just from thinking about all that you've been through and the fact that you're still standing!
I am so proud of you for taking the stance that you have and even managing to do something nice for someone else at a time when I know that I WOULDN'T be capable of thinking anything except "poor me".
You've done all that you can do for your parents. Now it is time to focus on you and your sweet hubby.Enjoy a quiet, low-key holiday and may God bless you and your marriage...

Yaaayy!!

Hi, Philbe! I tried to use the shout box to tell you that I could smell the bread baking but the Shout box seems to be broken today! I baked some bread yesterday, too! Today is a bit of a non-prepping day for me. I will be getting rid of a few things that have been cluttering up the house.

Thank you for asking...All is well in my corner of the world, Robie!
We didn't see a single snowflake, nor a gust of wind. I assume that Michael and Lori were missed as well. With Sandy, we only saw some rain for a few days and virtually no wind. It was just dreary and chilly. We were well-stocked for Sandy and the only measures we took involved securing a few yard and porch items to keep them from blowing.
We are now even better stocked against bad weather since we just received 7 more cords of firewood. So far, the weather patterns seem to be doing the same thing that they did last year. We never really had a winter last year...all of the storms went around us even though we are usually the snowiest city in NY. Most of our snow came down an inch or two at a time. I remember shoveling once...The sun always came out and melted the snow by lunchtime.
BTW- I love the fact that winter storms are being named now!

Hi, Carie! It i is so nice to get an update and have you back with us! I'm so glad that some of the family drama has calmed down so that your family can have some peace.

Older people can behave strangely when they have UTI's or other infections. Has he been checked for something like that? It is more common in women, but men can get them too.

Isn't there a separate item that you can buy that spins the clothes until they are barely damp, too? It seems that I recall seeing something like that.

Awwwww....

Thanks, Lumabean & Jeepers!
Daylily, I just learned something from your post. I didn't think that Amazon was giving a sample of the book yet... 'til I read your post! They haven't set up the sample on the paperback yet. Hopefully, it will be in place in a couple of days.
