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)
Skirt Steak
We are working to clear out our extra freezer. There are a few things that have been in it for awhile that are getting close to their shelf life. We’ll have to have a BBQ soon though, as I kept forgetting we had hot dog and hamburger buns, so we have more on hand then… Continue reading Skirt Steak
What to Binge Now?
I didn’t think it would ever happen, but I’ve reached the end of the shows I’ve been wanting to watch. The others on my list are being released on a week-by-week basis—so old-fashioned and archaic. Now I’m not sure what I should watch next. I’m open to any new suggestions. The only thing I’m not… Continue reading What to Binge Now?
The Funds Exist
Friday, during a short walk downtown, I got to see a few new things, and one really sad thing. There are a few new restaurants open or opening, and lots of road construction and improvements. Unfortunately, as with most major cities, and even some smaller cities, the homeless population has increased exponentially. I’ve not seen… Continue reading The Funds Exist
Queen Egg Roll
Twasn’t a cooking week this week. It was a lot of leftovers and my husband’s chili. He is a pretty good cook as well, and no one can hold a candle to his chili, chicken cheese enchiladas, Spanish rice, or fideo’s. He made a big pot of his chili this past Sunday. Perfect for the… Continue reading Queen Egg Roll
Closing Out the Season
The weather was just right on Saturday, and a little challenging on Sunday. My chore list for the weekend was to close out some yard work and the garden. It wasn’t a long list, just a list that could take a little while to accomplish. Before I could get to the closing out part, I… Continue reading Closing Out the Season
Heil GOP
It started out slow. So slow in fact that no one took notice. The pace was as the tortoise goes. A right taken away here, a story buried deeply inside the newspaper, so insignificant as to not be of much notice. Then 9/11 happened and the pace quickened a little. More rights stripped of the… Continue reading Heil GOP
Chefclub Recipe
All of us are quite familiar with the number of ads that come across our social media feeds. The data collection is so well-honed, the programs think they know us better than we know ourselves at times. Targeted ads are helpful, and hindering as well since we don’t often get introduced to something outside our… Continue reading Chefclub Recipe
Passing of Another Summer
Tomorrow marks the first day of Autumn. The beautiful warm days and thundering lightning storms are about to come to an end. Walking the dog at 9:00 at night with the sun still shining has long passed. Several of us think we are going to have an “early” winter, well early by today’s standards, and… Continue reading Passing of Another Summer
