BE POSITIVE BUT BE REAL…how a sixty something introvert sees the world
I am straying from my holiday blog series just for today because it is Veterans Day. I do believe that most of us know at least one vet in our life. My husband is one, as is my father in law. The problem with today is that some who can’t appreciate what service people go […]
Read MoreIn sticking with topics relevant to the holidays, this one popped into my head immediately. How many people who host dinners or parties for Thanksgiving, Christmas or anytime, ever really ask about what foods their guests might be allergic too? It has become an issue for me, because I have several food allergies, which could […]
Read MoreProbably not the best way to describe my Christmas movie habit of the Hallmark Channel, but there is just no other way to explain my infatuation. It began with one movie on a weekend night when I was actually surfing cable. This occurred a few years ago. From that moment on, I was hooked, line […]

Read MoreMy husband has stopped denying that the weather is now changing from hot to cold. Our time sitting out on our back deck has pretty much diminished. It is now time to get objects hunkered down for the bad weather ahead. Tomorrow, we will most likely gather whatever is left on our deck,i.e. chairs and […]
Read MoreWe usually have plenty food leftover in the fridge from dinners I prepare. There is enough for two nights of what we like to call, “fend”. That term meaning just get whatever you want to eat. I like what I cook, and always make enough so we have those extras. Cooking is something I try […]
Read MoreIn a few days, early voting will begin in our state. I for one will wait until the real day of November 8th, to do my civic duty. Once again, I am very traditional when it comes to certain things. Voting is one of them. I will not lie and say I didn’t try it, […]
Read MoreI stated in a earlier blog how much I despise clutter. Never gave it much thought, so now and then I would get rid of certain things . The problem I have these days is when should I just realize that you can’t keep everything! My husband and I are preparing to update our family […]
