BE POSITIVE BUT BE REAL…how an introvert and a boomer views the world
I thought this blog was fitting since Halloween is only a few weeks from now. People have for centuries thought of black cats as bad luck and evil lurking among us. Why I even work with some women who really believe those things. That’s a whole other blog. Ozzie joined our family in May 2015. […]
Read MoreLocal food banks are in need of food donations all year-long. Around this time of year however, there is an aggressive movement to collect goods for those less fortunate than ourselves. Since we do the holiday meals for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, I start my shopping early for the items that I can put away […]
Read MoreIn my opinion, one never gets to old to enjoy any decorations for Halloween or the Harvest season. We always have some kind of fall decor hanging, either inside or out.

Read MoreI live in a region, where we have a lot of produce farms. Those farms produce their best foods this time of year. It’s not just about getting pumpkins and cornstalks. How about fall squash or apples? Many of these farmers depend on local customer support, often spread by word of mouth. Quite honestly, I […]
Read MoreBanana muffins can be a great little treat. I don’t know about other people, but I get tired of throwing away perfectly good bananas just because they get to ripe. Bananas are probably the one food that gets a bad rap when they get to mushy and sweet to eat. This is the perfect reason […]
Read MoreI won’t hesitate to say that fall is my favorite time of the year. The crisp air, the vivid colors, the smell of fireplaces being started up for the first time, and wonderful scents being created in kitchens everywhere, just give me that comfy feeling.
