The amazing delicacy you see above is a result of hundreds of years of taste testing and perfection — literally.

Getting the Band Back Together: The Scene of the Crime
It was almost like coming home. In fact…it was indeed coming home. The College of Charleston will always — in my eyes — be one of the most beautiful settings to live…to learn…and to grow into adulthood. As I mentioned in the previous post, a few close college friends and I came back to Charleston … Continue reading Getting the Band Back Together: The Scene of the Crime

The Healing Power of Forgiveness
The following is a post from “The KReative Corner”. Please read and take some inspiration from this very personal offering. If you’re so inclined…give “The KReative Corner” a like..or even a follow. Thanks.
This is a personal story of how a childhood wound was mended by the power of forgiveness.
My Daddy left my brother and me at 12 and 7 when the marriage to our mother fell apart. A Father-Daughter relationship is the first modeled male/female relationship. A father’s absence in the life of his daughter makes her prey because she has no idea of her value, therefore suffering from low self-esteem and choosing mates she otherwise wouldn’t even consider.
It wasn’t until I became a parent, I understood they (both) gave the best they could with the “tools” given.

TBT: Cereal Edition
A lot of my “wit and wisdom” comes quite honestly from the person I like to think is the smarter of the two of us in my marriage — my wife Karen. Here is her latest offering from her blog, The KReative Corner. I think the link within may bring back some memories for you. It did for me. If you get a moment..take a look through some of her other offerings. You may hooked into following. Enjoy!
The recent Pop culture trend seems to center around the “Reboot” a revival of things from days gone by – a blast from the past ! You see this in fashion, TV shows and even music. So, on this #TBT I submit a treasure chest of sugary goodies that is breakfast cereal.
A recent conversation with “hubby” prompted a google search for a cereal I used to see on the shelf of our grocery store but didn’t remember who made it. He was off to get his tablet and scored this.
Enjoy this trip down memory lane.
. . .until next time.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!
