It's Fall You All!





These are only a few of the fun and beautiful sights I was privileged to see as I wandered through North and South Carolina yesterday.  The colors are beginning to emerge out across the mountains.  The air was a little cool, yet the sun was out - the day was beautiful in all ways.  "I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods."

We also went to an arts and crafts festival.  Such talented people!  Gorgeous works of art - paintings, drawings, wood-works, jewelry, soaps, music, sewing, knitting, crocheting....you name it, we saw it!

It was a nice day with my parents and my son - in His presence, His glorious presence!  I hope you get to take some time to enjoy this fall season!

The BEST Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

  Oh my. This is good. I like strawberry. A lot. But I don't usually choose strawberry ice cream if there are several flavors (like chocolate) available. I got this recipe from my daughter and IT IS GOOD! I would choose this! The Best Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream makes 3 cups (I have doubled it) Ingredients 1 1/2 cups strawberries,  hulled and diced 2 Tbsp honey 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp lemon juice 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 cup half and half 1 tsp vanilla extract Instructions In large bowl mix strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice.

Stir just until combined. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow you...
