Some cooks today buy a couple packages of chocolate pudding and maybe make their own pastry. However, that doesn't compare with this velvety chocolate pie. Heat milk in saucepan. Add baking chocolate, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted. Blend together sugar, flour and salt.

I like hearing the song 12 Days of Christmas, which generates imagery of a lot of interesting people and animals. While it is considered a nonsensical sort of song, it has been suggested that it’s actually a secretly coded song of Christian instruction.

In a display of creativity and community spirit, the Luttrell Public Library emerged with pride as we received the Best Float Award at this year's Luttrell City parade.

Once there was a name that mattered more than space,
But now there is an X that often fills the place,
Reserved once for the Savior, the King of all Kings.

“Instead of just wishing, why don’t you pray?” Momma suggests.

Is somebody trying to tell me something?

When my son graduated from UT with his degree in Mechanical Engineering, he was offered two jobs. One in downtown Washington DC for a mindboggling amount of money – hard to refuse! The other in some tiny town in North Idaho called Bayview for not so much money. Apparently, there is a Navy base there on Lake Pend Oreille – the largest lake in Idaho.
