"To feel safe and warm on a cold, wet night, all you really need is soup." ~ Laurie Colwin The idea of Italian sausage and kale in a soup was not appealing to me.  Not at all.  But after seeing mention of it several times in the same day, I figured . . . eh.  … Continue reading Zuppa Toscano (Tuscan Soup)

"Hurry up and open it!" ~ Sam Rodabaugh With all the 'box subscriptions' available now, I am selective about what I'm willing to try.  It has to meet a few requirements: It has to be affordable.

I’m Bored

'There's nothing to do." "What am I supposed to do NOW?" "That's no fun, that's boring!" All these things (and more) were said to me when my son got his electronics privileges taken away.  Cell phone.  Nintendo Switch.  Gameboy.  Access to my laptop.  Television. For over an hour, there was whining and wheedling and crying … Continue reading I’m Bored

Masquerade

"Blessed is she who saves furniture from dumpsters, for she shall embarrass her husband and children but have AMAZING projects." ~ Unknown This desk did not come from a dumpster.  It was actually given to me by a friend almost 20 years ago -- oh my gosh, has it been that long?!?!?!  For most of … Continue reading Directionally Challenged

"Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem.  We all have twenty-four hour days." ~ Zig Ziglar If I had a penny for every time I've been told, "I don't know how you get so much done!" -- I'd be a very rich woman!  It's really not rocket science, it's just planning.

I’m so thankful for my faith in the One who died for me. I come from a long line of faithful women — Jewish, Methodist, Catholic. Regardless the denomination, the faith in our risen Savior makes life what it is!!
When your 16-week old pup is upset that he can no longer curl up between your legs while you meditate because he’s just too big — should have named him Peter Pan, he doesn’t want to grow up.
