Thoughts and Opinions as I Grow Older

Month: May 2022

Which End Is It?

May 31, 2022May 31, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

A little while ago I wrote about needing to find a watering solution for my raised gardens. Would it be a soaker hose? Would it be a portable sprinkler? Would it be a drip system? I’ve used all of them over the years. Each has their pros and cons. Each also has a different level… Continue reading Which End Is It?

It’s Time! No, Past Time!

Mango Butter and Strawberries

May 26, 2022May 26, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

The oven was heating and the mixer was spinning this past weekend. My work team has been really pushing through some tough projects and tight timelines. Thought I’d take some goodies in since I can’t do cash. With a couple of gluten-free team members, I wanted to make something they could have along with the… Continue reading Mango Butter and Strawberries

Growing Season 2022 Officially Began

May 24, 2022May 24, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Although I did start seeds indoors about six weeks ago, the growing season officially began today. This year I had purchased a couple of grow lights. Those, along with seed heating pads I had purchased last year, really gave the seeds a good start. The plants were in much better shape and size than last… Continue reading Growing Season 2022 Officially Began

Implicit Bias

May 21, 2022May 21, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

We all have seen the outcomes of police stops involving People of Color, particularly Black males. It is sad, frustrating, and maddening to see it playing out all over the country. Shocking might even be a better word to describe this type of behavior still happening at this time in history! Today, for the first… Continue reading Implicit Bias

The Ripple Effect

May 19, 2022May 19, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

This evening I attended an event to honor an inspiring teacher, model leader, and a truly caring human being. She is brilliant, talented, savvy, and persistent. In collaboration with a team of visionary teachers, she helped to start the Center for Inquiry, and helped grow it into the collection of schools it is today. CFI… Continue reading The Ripple Effect

A Larger Pandemic

May 17, 2022May 17, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Hate! Or I would say actually fear, is the larger pandemic we are facing, and it seems to be growing ever larger. When a 17-year-old takes a gun across state lines to a peaceful protest and kills someone. When an 18-year-old takes a gun into a grocery store and kills black elders. When a 21-year-old… Continue reading A Larger Pandemic

Politics Free Day

It was my niece’s baby shower today. Ignoring politics until tomorrow. Enjoy the evening!

New Smoker

May 12, 2022May 12, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

Tonight I’m going to fanboy on my Hubby! For the past two years, my hubby has been wanting a smoker. He did his research, compared different brands, and went to visit them at the stores. In the end, he wanted a red Kamado Joe brand. After deciding, it became basically impossible to find. There was… Continue reading New Smoker

Patio Time 2022

May 10, 2022May 10, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

For the first time this season, I had a moment on the patio. Actually, two moments. The weather the past two days has been absolutely gorgeous. Not too windy, not too hot. It was even shorts weather today while mowing the grass. Yesterday, the husband and I sat for a chat just before dinner. Our… Continue reading Patio Time 2022
