What kind of brownie lover are you?

Do you like middles or edges? I'm an "edges" brownie gal myself. I always head for the corners first. Love that crunchy, thick edge. Delicious! Well, Deb Raney (my writing critique partner) clued me in to this wonderful invention in the picture. It was made for "edgie brownies lovers" like me. Every brownie has that yummy crusty edge. This is my first time to use the pan today, and the brownies (

I'm incredibly grateful for the prayers that have been lifted up for my mom this past week (pictured to the right with my dad).

The surgery yesterday was over four hours long but was successful in so many ways.The doctors did find a mass located at the base of her liver near the bile duct (which we already knew that the bile duct had cancer). The surgeon took that tumor and over half of mom's liver, along with

Waitin' On a Woman

My daughter and I went to see Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, and Darius Rucker in concert together Saturday night and had such a fun time.
