Easter 2015

Posted in Photography, Reflection, Sunday, Uncategorized, tagged inspirational, Joy, photography, Scripture on April 5, 2015| 10 Comments »

I’ve been sick for over a week and haven’t been able to do much, but…

I can not let today go by without posting.

It is the reason why there exists hope
The reason why we can go on in the midst of trials,
grief, hard times.

He lives.

The angel said to the women,
“Do not be afraid;
for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
He is not here,
for He has risen,
just as He said.
Come, see the place where He was lying. ”
Matt. 28:5-7

I don’t know if you’ve seen this before,
but it’s one of my favorites from way back.
If you haven’t seen it,
you’re in for a treat.

A blessed Easter to you all,

Daisy

Roast Chicken

Posted in Cooking, Uncategorized, tagged Cooking, Food on March 12, 2015| 13 Comments »

There area many ways to roast chicken.

This is one way…

First, I wash and cut potatoes, carrots, and onions
and place them in a foil-lined pan.

Then I split the chicken in half, down the breast side.
This is important if you want that tasty, crispy skin.
I place it right on top of the potatoes/onions/carrots.
I season the chicken with lemon, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic & onion powder, and oregano.

Then I put it in a 350 degree oven for about one hour and 15 min.
Times vary, depending on your oven,
but the key is to leave it long enough for the skin to get extra crispy.
If you take it out too soon, you will be very disappointed.
So will your family.
So will I.

The onions and potatoes will get a wonderful toasty exterior
that you won’t want to miss.

Yes, sir!
The juices in the pan are fantastic poured over rice.

The wings are delicious because they’ll be crunchy and delicious.

This is a simple meal that I make when I’m doing something
and can’t be standing over the stove for a length of time.

You just put it in the oven
and forget about it until the timer goes off.

As you can see, I like to serve it with black beans and rice.

Give it a try.
You’ll be glad you did.
So will your family.
So will I.

Happy cooking,

Daisy

Blessed

Posted in Photography, Travel, Uncategorized, tagged flowers, hiking, Mountains, photography, Travel on August 5, 2014| 24 Comments »

My husband & I recently celebrated out 30th wedding anniversary!!

…to celebrate, we planned a very special trip,
however, things don’t always go as planned,
and I found myself in the ER just two days before
we were scheduled to leave on our trip.

I am so thankful that it was nothing serious and I am recovering.
If you’ve ever been in the ER,
especially if you have a lot of pain,
all kinds of thoughts want to rush in
and fill your mind with visions of what could happen…
It’s not easy to keep those thoughts from taking over.

I thank God that I felt his peace,
His comfort,
and his strength.
…and that I was happily released about 5 hours later!!

We didn’t exactly get to go on the trip we wanted,
but we did go to a nice place and get some fresh air
up in the Blue Ridge Mountains…

We went on a hike and I’d like to show you
some of the things we saw…

It was hard to walk past the pretty flowers
without stopping to take 5-105 photographs…
My husband is a very patient man.

We came across this bench with a heart shaped by flowers!

Some of the more steep areas had steps…

We had a great time!

Now we’re ready for another 30 years of wedded bliss!!

I am blessed beyond measure!
My husband is my best friend,
he is an amazing person in many ways,

…and we’re still very much in love!

Looking forward to all God has for us!

Light

Posted in Photography, Sunday, Uncategorized, tagged Direction, inspirational, Mountains, photography, Scripture, Sunday on July 20, 2014| 9 Comments »

…God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I John 1: 5-9

Sanctuary

Posted in Photography, Reflection, Uncategorized, tagged Country LIfe, inspirational, photography, Reflection on April 25, 2014| 13 Comments »

Do you ever feel like you just need some quiet time?

(Photo taken inside an 1800s church)
There were no microphones here, no Powerpoint, … not even electricity.

Yet,
the people gathered here and worshipped God.
All they had was each other and the Bible.
They read. They prayed together. They encouraged one another.
Made me realize once again…
we don’t need all the “bells and whistles” we feel so necessary today.

I guess all we need is a hunger for God.

Just thinking…

Have a blessed weekend everybody.
Love to you all,
Daisy

Influenza A

Posted in Uncategorized on December 29, 2012| 9 Comments »

Not long after I posted on the 24th, I began feeling sick and by Christmas Day I was feeling awful!

Things just got worse and on Thursday I actually fainted and fell and hit my head (not too bad, since I was in a sitting position). My husband took me to the ER and thankfully everything was ok, just needed an IV to get me hydrated again.

My husband is also fighting this flu, so we’re both trying to drink lots of liquids (the only thing we can keep down) and get lots of rest.

I probably won’t be blogging for a few days.

Thanks for all the kind comments and well-wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

May you all have a wonderful, blessed New Year!!

House Hunting…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Moving, photography, vintage on August 31, 2012| 17 Comments »

Yes… It looks like my husband and I have to move. Where? Not sure. Because of my husband’s job, we have different options (within the State).

We might end up renting, but if we buy a house, I’m leaning toward either a Historic Home or a brand new home.

“Why?” you ask?

Well, the brand new house is new so we don’t have to
worry about fixing anything for about 10-15 yrs. The negative is the HOA.
(Home Owners Association)…which I hate…been there, done that kinda thing.

Then, about the historic homes… the pro is that it has a lot of character

and features that new homes don’t have and I really like that. The con

is that we’ll probably have to fix something… or some things.

So, I wanted to show you some of the ones that have made it to my “favorites” list…

We haven’t had a chance to go see these yet, so we don’t know what the

neighborhood around the home looks like… which is a big deal…

remember, “location, location, location”?

I like the porch on this one below… I’d make some changes and add some trim,

but overall it looks good 262 NE 2nd St, Webster, FL 33597
