Looking back...

I updated this blog last Friday night, with expectations that I would post a recipe every now and then, or maybe write nothing of importance.. or maybe just hone my creative writing skills and learn how to put some humor into it.  Who knows? 

I woke up Saturday, with a long list of things that needed to be done that day.  I've got a ton of things going on over the next few weeks, and I needed to get a jump start on being on top of things. Then my mom called. 

Kim... Your brother is .. dead.

In an instant, my world has changed forever.


This past week has been a blur.  Friends and family have called, sent cards, prayed, visited, just all around been great for us.  But as I remember things about Kenny, I realize that I have no one to reminisce with.  My husband and kids didn't know him very well.  There's a good reason for that, but it still leaves me with no one to share my thoughts with.

I'll just have to stop there.  I can't even pull my thoughts together, much less try to organize them and write them down.

I love you, Kenny Wayne.

It's Friday!

Finally!  It's here!!  Not sure why I'm so excited, because there's nothing special going on this weekend.  I guess society has trained us to be excited for the weekend.  And that's ok.  My husband will be off work, and I'll get to see him a bit more.  And there's church on Sunday.  That's always a good thing.

I think I'll post a recipe today.  It's easy, and ALWAYS a hit.  You are gonna want to write this one down.  Promise. You can't go wrong.  I can sometimes, but you can't!!   (use the brands listed, others have been tried and aren't true!!)

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

1 stick of butter, softened
2 eggs
1 box Pillsbury Plus white cake mix

Mix ingredients well; press into greased 9 x 13 pan.

1 large block of Philadelphia brand cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 box powdered sugar

Mix well.  No lumps allowed!!  Then pour as top layer. 


Bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes.  Edges will brown and a very slight crust will begin forming on top.  Bake until golden brown.
