Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Approximately 25 years ago my family started a tradition that is still part of our Christmas today. My family all loves to play the Dollar Game.

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Loving food and the kitchen came to me at a very young age. I tried to imitate my grandma’s cooking, but she really did not write very many recipes down. What a time I had when I first got married. My husband was used to his mom’s cooking…

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitacker I know I am guilty. I love pie. Pie can finish off a good meal and I have even saw people eat their pie first at dinners. Have you ever went to a dinner and for dessert there was a big table full of all kinds of pie? …
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker One of the things we try and teach our children is not to stick their tongues out at people. It is rude and some kids and adults will do it to someone they don’t like or maybe for attention. However, in Tibet, people greet one another by sticking…
Penny For Your Thougths By: Nancy Whitaker One potato, two potato, three potatoes, four. Remember playing that game? Also there was a game called Hot Potato. We can’t forget Mr. Potato Head, a game I think is still around. Of course instead of playing games with the name of potato, I would rather just eat…
