My Copycat Pizza Hut Alfredo Recipe
8/19/10 •
We experimented with this copycat recipe of the Pizza Hut Alfredo sauce a lot and will probably still tweak it a little here and there, but my guys say it’s pretty close to the taste of the chicken Alfredo sauce at Pizza Hut.

Be Extraordinary and Make a Difference – One Act of Kindness at a Time!
8/10/10 •
Have you ever had someone do something kind and unexpected? Isn’t that the most amazing feeling? Doesn’t it make you feel like the whole world looks a little better? Doesn’t it make a difference in how you treat the next person? Just think if we all got into the habit of random acts of kindness. I think the world would be a better place. I think we could achieve world peace. OK, that might be a tall order, but I bet we could make a difference in our little worlds, and who knows where it could lead. Science Daily states that there are three degrees of separation with acts of kindness. Just think….three more degrees, and you might reach Kevin Bacon.

Here’s just a few of my favorites from this past week. First, you should be warned. I watch a lot of older movies. I love this movie. I love Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, and I love them together. Overboard even has a moral to the story: It’s better to have purpose and be happy [...]
You Are the Leading Lady of Your Own Life

Through each trial in my life, I have grown. At the age of 46, I am not the person that I started out as at 20. I am wiser because of painful mistakes. I am more forgiving and loving as I have realized my own imperfections and limitations. But as I face the trial before me, I find myself thinking, “Good grief, how much more do I need to grow? How good does a person need to get???”
Thought for the Day – The Prayer Closet
7/27/10 •
I’m rereading The Autobiography of George Muller. It has always been one of my favorite books. He was rightly called a man of faith. He never believed in asking anyone for anything. He believed he should take his needs to God and God alone knowing that He would provide for him. And God did. Definitely a must read.
I came across a passage from his diary that was a very signficant part of his walk with God that I wanted to share.

Embracing My Inner Monica

If your life were a movie, who would be the best person to play you, not the you that you want to be but the person or character most like you that would capture your essence? This was a question that came up recently in our family. I was actually surprised when the name Courtney [...]
Jesus, Take the Wheel

I have tried to not blog about Huntington’s disease in an effort to not let it define me, and that that becomes what my whole life is about. So in an effort to keep things normal, I limit those posts. Today, though, has been one of those days where it has hit me from all sides. I [...]
Why Marry a Color When You Can Just Shack Up with One?
7/16/10 •
I found myself wishing that I had a husband who loved to make our home beautiful with me. In my mind, that would be so beautiful. We would hold hands, laugh and choose beautiful decor for our home. We would always agree, and he would just love to repaint every time I changed my mind. It’s a perfect world in my mind. But then I thought…
How to Grow a Vegetable Container Garden
6/14/10 •
I have failed at growing anything…many times. It didn’t matter whether it was inside or outside, I usually killed it. I have learned some things along the way that I think were critical to not killing everything. I’m still new and still learning, but I wanted to share what I have learned so far. I [...]
It’s Quite Possible That I Am Out of Control
6/09/10 •
I’m just sayin’. Between the fact that my husband was laid off for a period last year and had to start all over at a new company, my husband was also diagnosed with hd this year, and the fact that my mom died last year, and I appear to be channeling her need to hoard [...]
Blooming Is Possible Even When Your World Is Turned Upside Down

I love how my garden is the source of such amazing inspiration. I call this my phototherapy. I love my new vegetable container garden. I love taking pictures. The rest just kind of happens. I love how God chooses to meet me there, in my special place. He never promised that we would would [...]
The Mystery Bugs at the Scene of the Crime
6/09/10 •
This is a bad bug. A very bad bug. One day I had bright, perky leaves on my okra plant, the next day I had a colony of these little things systematically sucking the life out of each leaf one by one causing them to wilt. We saw them after they had only destroyed a [...]
Planting Season: My Vegetable Container Garden on the Deck
5/14/10 •
I am going to be honest here. I have had everything ready to start drilling holes and planting for over a week now but was totally freaked that I was going to miss one critical detail and completely fail. I have been reading and realized so many things I have done wrong over the years. [...]
Bloom Where You Are Planted: My Backyard Deck Sanctuary Project
5/14/10 •
Because everyone needs a place to get away from it all sometimes. I don’t live in the country. I wish I did. Well, I think I wish that I did. Truth is I am afraid of every bug, snake and animal known to man. Another truth is that I cannot stand to drive more than [...]
Huntington’s Disease Test Results: Day 34
5/14/10 •
Our Family May 13, 2010. Today is a day that I never will forget. It is the day that our story forever changed. It was the day that we found out that my husband has Huntington’s disease. The test results took 34 days due to lab errors and delays. I blogged the test results earlier [...]
