A Visit to Stoplight Market in Butler, MO

On Wednesday of last week, my friend, Carla, and I took a day trip north to do a little shopping and sightseeing. While out and about, I introduced Carla to one of my favorite places to shop...Stoplight Market in Butler, Missouri.

Stoplight Market is a beautiful place that is always in season!

They carry a large variety of bulk food items, including spices, flour, oatmeal, gluten-free products, local honey, popcorn, cheese, candy, jams, jellies, and more, and, in spring, summer, and on into fall, they offer locally grown produce.

Come spring and summer, Stoplight Market Greenhouse offers a wide variety of bedding plants, hanging baskets, trees, shrubs, and more. They grow more than 35 varieties of tomatoes and over 20 varieties of peppers! 😲

Some of my personal favorite products at Stoplight, and ones that I shop for regularly, include spices (basil, oregano, fennel, chives, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, black pepper, and Real and pink Himalayan salt), bulk foods (rolled oats, oat bran, popcorn, cornmeal, and cocoa), and other items that are hard to find such as Mrs. Miller's 100% Whole-Wheat Noodles and Bragg's Liquid Aminos.

I also enjoy procuring fresh produce that's in season there when I can.

If you enjoy shopping bulk food stores, and ever make it to the Butler, Missouri area, Stoplight Market is well worth the stop. For more information, click HERE.

Until next time...

Master List and Menu Monday - October 12, 2020

Good morning, Everyone!

I trust that your week and weekend were good and that your Monday is off to a great start! Happy Columbus Day! 

Things are going well here. I just haven't had a whole lot of extra time to post lately and I miss being with you all. 😢

My Mums

I worked on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday was bison vet check day at the park.

On Wednesday my friend, Carla, and I went north to shop the Amish and Mennonite stores. While there we explored the area and enjoyed a day of fun. In Butler we visited the thrift store, the herb shop, and Stoplight Market. We hiked a short trail at Battle of Island Mound and visited the city lake.

Wednesday evening our youngest daughter and her boyfriend joined us at our youngest son's for a bonfire and cookout. We enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, roasted marshmallows, and apple cider. 🍁

Thursday was spent enjoying time with Amanda and Aaron. John and I took them out to the park and gave them a corral tour. Then, we met at Patrick and Amber's where Amanda set up shop and did all us girls' nails using the new dip powder kit she got and, I have to say, she did a great job! 💅

Master List and Menu Monday - October 5, 2020

Good morning, Everyone!

It's the first Monday of October and I had a chipper greeting all prepared, but, since I'm not feeling so chipper this morning, I didn't post it.

I don't have a lot of time in which to share this morning, but we have been bombarded with prayer requests throughout the weekend. One friend spent the weekend at her dying sister's bedside; another lost her husband. Others that we know are sick or hospitalized; several that we know of are dealing with COVID and that, of course, includes President and Mrs. Trump

There is a whole world of hurting people out there, Ladies. Be kind, forgive, help when and where you can, and lift one another up in prayer. Time is short and everyone can do something to encourage another. What can you do today? And for whom?

It's Monday and I'm headed to work. I will be with you again when I can. Have a blessed day! 🧡

- walk as often as I can 👟


This Week's Menus...

Monday - Taco Soup 🥣
Tuesday - Italian sausage with sauteed peppers and oven-roasted potatoes 🥔
Wednesday - Cookout at son and dil's (hot dogs, burgers, chips, marshmallows) 🌭
Thursday - Chili with Mexican cornbread 🥣
Friday - Broiled salmon, oven-roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash, and steamed broccoli 🐟

Well, Ladies, that's it for today! I pray that all is well with you and yours and that you have a blessed week ahead!

Until next time...

Praying Over President Trump and A Forewarning



Please be in prayer over President Trump, the First Lady, and their family. It breaks my heart and is shocking to see so many people wishing ill will and even death upon them after learning that they have both tested positive for COVID-19.

Pray and be forewarned! God forbid, should something like this happen to Joe Biden and his wife, or anyone else that you don't like or approve of, you better make sure which side of the fence you're really on. Like it or not, God's Word is Truth and it will stand!
I don't care who you are...Christian, non-Christian, Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Non-Conservative, Right, Left, or somewhere in the middle...what you wish upon others will come back upon your own household!
Matthew 7:2
Proverbs 26:27
Galatians 6:7
Romans 13:1 and 2

Until next time...
