I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Crescent Rolls

I love the smell of any bread cooking in the stove. One of those childhood smells that brings a smile to my face. These are great as a dinner roll and are big enough to use as a sandwich. They are very soft and oh so good.
