Wordless Wednesday and Tasty Tuesday ~ Sour Cream Banana Bread

Since I completely forgot to publish my Tasty Tuesday post and now I'm running late in getting my Wordless Wednesday post up I thought I would just combine the two.  Remember that if you'd like to see more Tasty Tuesday posts to click on the button below.  There are always a lot of great recipes to be found every Tuesday.



I must really be liking Banana Bread lately because I've found another recipe that I'm in love with!  In fact I'll be making more today (or tomorrow).  I found this recipe on Food.com. This one makes a great crust and the bread itself is so moist!  The tang of the sour cream along with the sweetness of the bananas....oh my!  You'll have to make this one for yourself for sure!

Creations Call

This was shared with 111 kids and volunteers at our church this morning in their worship service. As told by one of our Children's Staff that helps run this amazing program, "Finished up our Big Surf series talking about the God's Glory and how IT is ALL around us...111 kids + volunteers...quiet for just over 6 minutes. Yes, there was an occasional, "awwww" -- but that was it...God is AMAZING...an expansive imagination in all His Creation!"

Tasty Tuesday ~ Peach Banana Bread

It's Tasty Tuesday and I'm back again to share with you a recipe that I have had people begging me for.  It's a bread that you really can only make during the right time of year because it uses bananas and peaches.  This is a bread that is great as a breakfast bread, snack time bread, dessert bread...heck it's a good bread to have at anytime of day.  It's not only tasty but it's a very moist bread.  Try it today!  If you'd like to see more recipes click on the button above and enjoy.

Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ Twenty Years Ago

Twenty Years Ago....on August 10th I married the love of my life.  Andy, I love you more now that I did back then!  Can't wait to continue to grow old with you.

Pictures are:  Engagement Picture, with my Mom before the wedding, my Dad walking me down the isle (what you can't see is that I'm squeezing his arm tighter and tighter as we got closer to the front), the Kiss...all the poised ones looked just that...poised, us, the Dress, and of course....my Love!

Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ Too Darn Hot!

Today we hit 32 days in a row of hitting 100 degrees or more.  We've had a total of 39 days at or over 100 degrees.  We're on target to tie and possibly beat the all time record of 42 days in a row.  See the 10 day forecast below.  And to make matters worse we haven't had rain since May.
