Hopefully by next week, someone else will be writing Kitchen Delights. I just celebrated my 83rd birthday on July 2. It’s time to have someone else share recipes with you each week. I’m so very grateful to the Wright County Journal-Press and The Drummer, that they gave me this job. I’ve enjoyed...
These hot, humid days, I stay inside as much as possible. I’m one of those people who hate this kind of weather! The poor construction people, who have to work in this heat. Even Alaska is getting real hot weather. They probably don’t have air conditioners in their homes. I’ve been looking through...
I have this amazing little cookbook, it’s called “Sweets,” small batch desserts. You’re craving something sweet and just can’t stop thinking about it. Normal-size desserts are usually in a 9x13 inch pan. If you make it for two people, it will last a week, and by then, you are not craving it...
Can you think of one food that is served in most homes at least two times a week? Yes, it’s pizza. You heat it, and eat it; eat it when it’s hot, eat it when it’s cold; reheat it for a snack.

I’m going to reward myself by going shopping to my two favorite stores. Because I don’t drive anymore...

She taught eight grades from 9 to 4, then banked the fire and swept the floor. Her subjects were not just two or three, she...
On Friday, my daughters, Michele and Mary, came out to Hanover. First, we went to Vergin Sales in Rockford. What a great selection of chairs and sofas they have. It’s nice to pick out the style you like, and then order a different fabric you like. After furniture shopping, we went to several...
Every year I tell myself I’m not going to purchase so many flowers. I go to some of my favorite nurseries, and I go crazy. Oh, it has so many beautiful hanging flower baskets, and, of course, I have flowers to plant in the flower pots that are on the deck. The flowers that I got for Mother’s Day...
