  Let me start by saying the past two days have been unusually warm, weather-wise – and I am loving it!  I know this warm-up can’t last, and it won’t – and for this reason I’ve been revisiting soup ideas in my mind.  Soup is a hearty meal.  The following three recipes are easy, taste […]

I feel so very fortunate to be able to say that the Year 2019 was more good than bad.  Being on social media, I see that many others cannot say the same thing.  I did experience some downer moments but for the most part 2019 treated me pretty well. The year started off great as we […]

..and Happy Holidays!  What a wonderful time of year.  And a stressful and tiring time of year, too.  We wouldn’t have it any other way though, right?  I say that now, but each and every night after work was spent doing Christmas-related things from November until yesterday afternoon.  All the hard work put in made […]

The phrase “New Year’s Resolutions” brings to mind a few things.  The promise of a new day, a new start and a new beginning.  For those of us who have made many of these resolutions in the past (and didn’t end up keeping them) it also brings up a feeling of a kind of failure.  […]

…that I woke up with green hair.  Yes, green hair.  Just like the girl in this photo.  Why in the world did I dream of such a thing?  Who knows – maybe it’s because I just had my hair professionally colored for the first time in a long, long while.  A cut and color was […]

The holidays are a wonderful time.  The holidays are a stressful time.  Both of these statements are true.  With the right kind of attitude (and effort), you actually can have Happy Holidays!

(Photo courtesy of spreadshirtmedia.com) Yes, I did that.  But no, I didn’t do that other thing.  What?  Do you admit to some things and not others?  I’ve been thinking about this lately, as I’ve seen people doing odd things and behaving in ways that just makes me shake my head.  It got me to think of […]

  When I am hungry and I really need food, I want it quick.  Speedy.  With rapid fire.  I want it immediately, and I want it ready in a snap.  Because I know that I am this way quite often, I have come up with a few different food options so I don’t have to […]

Fall is such a nice, crisp time of year.  It’s nice to see the changing colors of the season.  With autumn brings pumpkins, but it also is the time of year for apples.  Pies, cobblers, candy apples and carmel apples – they are everywhere.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, so they say.  […]
