Creamy Praline Pecan Pie
I posted some pictures from a Cajun Shrimp Boil on Facebook yesterday and several of you asked for the recipe for the Creamy Praline Pecan Pie. My cousin, Gay, and her daughter Teesha, shared this recipe with me some time back but I hadn't made it yet. Why on earth did I wait so long! Oh my goodness, it's swoon worthy. Here we go...

My shoes...could be yours
How tall is TOO tall? THAT was the question I should have asked myself when buying this oh-so-lovely pair of Nine West shoes on-line a couple of months ago.
Aren't they pretty? So girly. I love them! I first saw them on Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, and she looked so cute! See?
Adore The Pioneer Woman website. If you haven't checked it out yet, treat yourself!

The Lovin' Oven Bakery
What a treat! For woman AND dog!
I saw a tweet from friend and author Angie Hunt today and followed the trail! And this is where I ended up...

Lovely time at the Biltmore House
My husband and I got away this past week to the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC, for some long overdue time together and a belated anniversary celebration. Lovely trip and we had a marvelous time stepping back into history.

A glimpse at A Lasting Impression
October is almost here and that means it's almost time for A Lasting Impression to hit the shelves. It's also time to share the first two chapters from this novel. A Lasting Impression was over two years in the "research and writing," but what a journey it was.
