It's not the destination, it's the journey: Be-bop-a-re-bop
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/04/be-bop-re-bop.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Almost two weeks later, and I still think this is one of the prettiest plants I've ever seen. On my last day at the farm, Carden walked up to the house with a bushel basket full of what looked, at first glance, to be broccoli. Except the "heads" were red. And, well, Courtney already told me Carden was out cutting rhubarb. Just cut the leaves off, chop the remaining part, and voila. Rhubarb. But what on earth do you DO with it? Add to e...

It's not the destination, it's the journey: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream-for.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Monday, July 5, 2010. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. It's 7:30 and I have homemade blueberry ice cream chilling in the freezer. Used to be I thought you had to have an ice cream machine to make ice cream. Looking back on that now, I can't quite believe I was so dumb. 3-4 cups of mashed strawberries (or peaches or blueberries, or whatever you fancy tossing in). 2 cups heavy whipping cream (whipped to soft peaks). 1 cup cold water. Sunday Swee...

It's not the destination, it's the journey: A tree in phases
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/04/tree-in-phases.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Thursday, April 8, 2010. A tree in phases. This morning while I took Cookie for her morning walk, I noticed that the tree in the backyard was absent its crispy brown leaves that refused to fall in Autumn. They started falling a few days ago, as the leaves made room for the new buds, harbingers of spring. All the leaves are out. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The miracle of dandelions. A tree in phases. The need to use our hands.

It's not the destination, it's the journey: I'm disappearing, shrinking I tell you!
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/04/im-disappearing-shrinking-i-tell-you.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Thursday, April 1, 2010. I'm disappearing, shrinking I tell you! It was some time in January when I decided to step on the scale. The truth glared at me - 218 pounds. I knew I'd gained weight, I could feel it. And here I was approaching the weight that I'd told myself was the "drastic measures" point, and my clothes were getting uncomfortable. But here here was the truth staring at me on a white dial. 218 pounds. Foofy or no, it was time for a change. I started...

It's not the destination, it's the journey: February 2010
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. John Hiatt, via cmt.com. Martin Sexton - The Way I Am. Dave Matthews Band - Cry Freedom. John Hiatt - Take it Down. John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters. That was my soundtrack on the way to work this morning. And then came Hiatt. His voice washes over the landscape, almost ringing across the very gently rolling hills. The music is perfect for traveling, settling into a nice rhythm with the car at 55 miles per hour.

It's not the destination, it's the journey: How are you using that dollar today?
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-are-you-using-that-dollar-today.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Sunday, July 4, 2010. How are you using that dollar today? In many respects, my job has helped me to develop a pretty thick skin. As many newspaper editors know, regardless of the size or quality of the paper, people like to hurl insults at you. They're particularly vitriolic via e-mail, where they don't actually have to speak to you, though some are bold enough to insult you via voice-mail and/or while actually speaking to you over the phone. Julie had just re...

It's not the destination, it's the journey: "Is that a Mallowmar?"
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-that-mallowmar.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Sunday, March 21, 2010. Is that a Mallowmar? With every camping trip, there is a story. Usually, a rather funny one. It generally involves quotes that make the story teller snort, slap their leg and wheeze from laughing so hard. A couple of standouts for me are the "Johnny, don't pee on that tree . pee on that one over there," and "HOLY SHIT IT'S A BOBCAT! 2008 at General Butler State Park in Kentucky). After this weekend, I have a new one to add to that list.

It's not the destination, it's the journey: From farm to pot
http://jonna-priester.blogspot.com/2010/04/from-farm-to-pot.html
It's not the destination, it's the journey. Saturday, April 3, 2010. From farm to pot. The smell wafting through the house right now is mouth watering. In my trusty soup/stew pot is a chicken just shy of 3.5 pounds, some chopped carrots and celery, a bit of leftover garlic and some salt and pepper. Time for the recipe:. This is not what you'll find at places like Cracker Barrel that's essentially overblown chicken and noodles . this is a chicken stew with a biscuit top. And it is a GREAT cold wea...If yo...
