The Pappy Way

One of my most favorite things about where we live, is the true sense of seasons. Fall is in full swing as the trees have taken on gorgeous hues of gold, crimson and tangerine. It looks like a painting every time I drive home and feel so fortunate to be...

Peaches hold a special place in my heart. Not only is it one of my favorite summertime fruits but it also happens to be a nickname my husband calls me. So when I hear “hey peaches” it makes me smile for more reasons than one. As summer is on it’s...
