It took a little motivation, but I got back in the kitchen this week. As I had mentioned last week, work is kicking my behind so much that, when I get home, I’m just plumb tuckered out. Going into the kitchen to prep, cook, and clean just isn’t appealing. When I went to cook dinner… Continue reading A First Time Foray
Word of the Day: Bittersweet
Just as a song sometimes gets stuck in ones head, I will get a word stuck in my head. Usually the word arrives on an event currently happening, or a memory from long long ago. Bittersweet is the word running laps in my mind right now. It first came to mind as I contemplated the… Continue reading Word of the Day: Bittersweet
Decompressing
It was a very dramatic end to Friday. Today has seen me just wanting to think and act little. And I’ve been doing just that. Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll be back on track.
No Cooking, Just Heating
I’m not sure if a burner was turned on this week. Wait, it was. I made frito pie yesterday. That again was just heating, not cooking. Wait, it was a little bit of cooking. It was mainly heating up some cans of chili, but I did embellish a little bit. To the chili I added… Continue reading No Cooking, Just Heating
Evolution of Thought
With the country and world in what seems to be a downward spiral, the future for myself, my children, and my grandchildren, along with everyone else’s, have been on my mind. Everyday we seem to see evermore unChristian-like behavior by people calling themselves Christians. As we’ve seen the devolution of Christian thought and behavior, I… Continue reading Evolution of Thought
First Comes Search and Seizure, then Comes Arrest?
Attorney General Garland finally seems to have remembered he was hired to uphold the rules of the land, regardless of who has broken the law. He, and many people in the chain of command, including a judge, followed the law and executed a legal warrant to search for documents stolen from the White House by… Continue reading First Comes Search and Seizure, then Comes Arrest?
DCI Tonight, Politics Tomorrow
It’s final nights for DCI. Delaying new post until tomorrow.
Burgers, Brownies, and Pies, Oh My!
Earlier this week I wrote about the DCI Gang. They were at our home last night for the BBQ social. As predicted, there was good food and even better conversation. It is a group who just picks up where they last left off. The husband was the grill master on his smoker/charcoal grill. He made… Continue reading Burgers, Brownies, and Pies, Oh My!
DCI Gang Time
There’s the Avon band gang, whom we get to hang out with on a regular basis (hopefully more regular soon). Then there’s the DCI Gang, whom we get to see but once a year—every August. My husband has been going to DCI Finals with most of them for over 25 years, meeting at venues, coming… Continue reading DCI Gang Time
Where Are the Ads?
I’ve written several posts on Democrats and storytelling. They seem to always miss the mark, and it seems they still haven’t learned. It is marketing 101, if you don’t tell your story, someone else will. Almost always, for the Democrats, it is someone else. I still don’t understand how they never learn their lessons. On… Continue reading Where Are the Ads?
