Ten days! Ten days until November 8. Ten days until we see if we are to remain a democracy. Ten days until we see if our voting age people are apathetic, or will turn out and send the Big Lie believers into oblivion, thus saving our way of life. I’m not sure which side will… Continue reading 10 Days

Cooking for One
It has been almost 20 years since I’ve had to cook for just one. The hubby has been gone taking care of family the past two weeks. My kid still living a home is a hit-or-miss of when she will come and go. Which has left me to cook a couple of dinners for just… Continue reading Cooking for One
The Rain, It Falls
We are having a usual feeling fall evening. It is a little cooler with a nice steady rain the past couple of hours. The sound has been so soothing I’ve been just sitting on the couch listening as it falls after doing some baking. I’m so relaxed I no longer feel like putting the dishes… Continue reading The Rain, It Falls
Men Need to Listen
In case you didn’t know, there is an election in just over two weeks. There are a lot of things on the ballot. Inflation, Democracy, Social Security, Equality, and Roe. Trumpists and elected Republicans want to take away the social safety net, equal rights, choice, and have no plan whatsoever to attack inflation. Each of… Continue reading Men Need to Listen
Soups and Boats
The week had me back in the kitchen. I wanted to make something for my team at work to keep morale up and thank them for their hard work. Saturday I woke up with an urge to make soup to freeze. The former was easy to get started as I had my idea formed already.… Continue reading Soups and Boats

Saturday was almost perfect weather for a walk in the park. The sun was shining, the temperature just right for fall, and the wind had a chill to it, but not much. Early morning the Papas asked if I might be interested in joining them for a stroll at Eagle Creek Park. This park is… Continue reading Eagle Creek Park
Sunday Dinner
Almost from the moment our family grew in adopting our kids, Sunday dinner was always a future dream. My husband and I, in discussing how we saw family, wholeheartedly agreed we would sit together every night as a family at the dinner table. We have met that goal 99% of time. One of us, barring… Continue reading Sunday Dinner
Filling My Bucket
There are times when life feels like it is just coasting or when it is in the valley of the ebbs and flows. A quick way to feel a little better, even for a moment or two, is to be with the ones you love and who love you. The past couple of weeks has… Continue reading Filling My Bucket
Where Are the Ads? (Repost from 8/6/2022)
I have rarely done a repost of a older post. But, with the election now less than a month away, I thought it was more relevant now than in August. More prudent and necessary especially since I still haven’t seen ads taking Republican candidates and incumbents to the wood shed. Democrats! Do better! I’ve written… Continue reading Where Are the Ads? (Repost from 8/6/2022)
