My praying friend, Amy Jo, sent me this encouragement as I prepared to go to Maui to cater/cook for Dare2Share (www.dare2share.org) and a reality show they were shooting (see here: http://www.jeanierhoades.com/stuff-i-actually-think/aloha). It is from one of the best books of all time Practice the Presence of God: The Best Rule of Holy Life by Brother Lawrence [...]
My parents just stopped by to see me for a few days on their way to Phoenix where, for the second time, they are attempting to embark into retirement. They retired a couple of years ago…for about a month or two, then they went straight back into ministry.
We got to celebrate my dad's 69th birthday [...]
Did the best man just drop out? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080130/ap_on_el_pr/edwards The Associated Press says John Edwards is dropping out of the Democratic presidential campaign.
Did he really ever have a chance with Obama and Clinton gobbling up the spotlight in flurries of gender and color and change rhetoric? I wish he had. His level of integrity and [...]
Just updated the FYI-about Jeanie page, too. I am sure that it is more than you ever wanted to know about me…but I told you anyway. Questions?

And by the way, we are eagerly awaiting our next granddaughter (this will make it 2 boys, 3 girls) any day now. Jovan and Rocky had us all make [...]

Many blessings…Jeanie

Stormie created a 12" x 12" white and chocolate marble cake for her good friend, Elise, while I was in Maui. In the pictures the blue looks turquoise, but the leftover icing in my kitchen was "dustier." My "baking center" is somewhat askew now, but I heard it was delicious and I know it [...]
I am just back from Maui where I got to help my great friend, Carol Ann, cook for the cast and crew who were filming a reality-type series: Gospel Journey - Maui for Dare2Share (www.dare2share.org) under the leadership of Blake Pilgreen with Mediatech (www.mediatech1.com) and with these great people (my Hawaiian-housemates, Rolly and Holly) from Outside the Box [...]
While in Maui, I found out that my friend Carol Ann (http://cakboliv.wordpress.com/), an extremely hip woman who has over 6000 songs on her I-Pod, has no Partridge Family songs on there. Not one. I was aghast at this discovery, so it got me to thinking.
If you were already super cool in the early 70's, I [...]
