With flair in the kitchen and caring advice, food for the soul and the gift of spice. With enchanted roses in her garden of stories, With the adventures of the pink morning glories. Happy to paint a picture, needlepoint it too. With a crochet hook, she will make a doily, or two. With an afghan, a grand work of art. With the colors of life, she will warm your heart.
