    Good morning Laura,

    I agree with you. Isn't it nice that a person wants to wish you a good day - no matter what the phrase they use?

    Merry Christmas!

    I have happy holidays, but I wish people Merry Christmas.
    I'm not offended by them saying it though.

    Hi Laura, Happy Holidays doesn't bother me a bit. I say Merry Christmas but even before political correctness, I thought happy holidays just meant Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in one phrase.

    I'm glad you are getting traffic from my blog. Many of the people who read my blog like to read blogs with same similar points of view and they use my sidebar kind of like a blog reader. One time when I was in a simplifying mood, I removed my favorite blogs from the sidebar and I got so many complaints. So, I keep sweet blogs like yours right there in the side of my blog where they are easy for others to keep up with.

    I'm also glad you and your family enjoyed the little box :)

    Doesn't the word holiday come from holy day? Happy or Merry, it's Christmas! I like them both.

    Hi Linda,
    I actually say happy Christmas.

    "I don't make merry at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry."

    Okay, I didn't have enough sleep last night. I'm having a geeky, goofy morning! That was Scrooge.

    Seriously, merry isn't a normal word in my vocabulary. Happy is. Also, in The Night Before Christmas Santa says, "Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night."

    Golly, I'm doing some weird rambling this morning! Oh, now you know I like you. You've been invited into my missing sleep world!

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!

The Post I've Been Avoiding... The Diagnosis

Image
Hello my dear readers and friends, You've no doubt noticed a change in my blog over the last few weeks and seen hints of health troubles and tests. This is the post I've been avoiding. I just haven't been ready to identify with the problem nor am I sure I want to now. After all, God is the God of miracles. I need miracles, I'll bet you do, too. Here goes. ​  I found a lump on April 22nd. It's been an earth shaker to me and my family for the last few weeks.  This was the cause of the exhausting rounds of tests and appointments. Yes. It is breast cancer. It's in all the lumps in my left breast and in a lymph node. My mother and maternal aunt both had breast cancer many years ago.  To answer a few questions you might have: The CT scan showed no cancer in the rest of my body. Praise God! The oncologist scheduled me for chemo first because it is an aggressive cancer. They want to shrink it first before surgery. I will also have mas...

My Spicy Can Opener Soup was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas!

Just had to share this with you again.   My recipe was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas! I have to admit, I was truly surprised when I received a letter from Gooseberry Patch requesting permission to use my recipe in their newest Christmas cookbook.  I've sent in some more complicated recipes, but this one is easy peasy! It's truly a recipe that I threw together using items from my nearly bare kitchen cupboards last winter. I called it Spicy Can Opener Soup.  They changed the name, but the ingredients remain the same.   I was thrilled to receive my very own copy of the book .  Of course, I had to make it up and take some photos to share with you dear ladies. It's simple, quick, and delicious. It's also one of those scrape the bowl clean recipes. It's just this simple. Spicy Can Opener Soup 1 can black beans 1 can Mexican corn with peppers 1 can Rotel type tomatoes w/chiles 1 package of Taco Seasoning Mix and simm...

Just Who is Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage?

I'm a big city girl gone small town girl gone country and finally gone back to small town. I live in southern Missouri between Oz and the Ozarks.  I have four children. My daughters live at home. My twenty-four year old daughter is finishing her master's degree through online university, and my 20 year old daughter goes to Christian college. My sons live on their own nearby. The 22 year old son and my 31 year old sons live nearby. I homeschooled all of my children from the beginning through high school. My eldest son went to high school for a year and a half. I met my Jesus when I was fifteen, and my life has never been the same. I married my high school sweetheart almost thirty-six years ago. We started going steady my senior year of high school. You might say we're going steady permanently. ~smile~ We have a very big yellow tabby cat, Tiger. Think Garfield with a good attitude. He is actually bigger than our little Doxie mix, Penny.   I enjoy writing, knit...
