Summer Chores and Advancing Age (and the art of being a bit stupid)
Warm. wet springs mean high grass before I get a chance to start mowing. It doesn’t help when I didn’t drain the oil from the lawnmower last fall, and I could not get the thing to start last weekend, when … Continue reading
Perfect December Day
Yesterday was one of those cold, mostly clear, BEAUTIFUL December days I love so much. Mom and I almost always go together for our Christmas trees, because my tree is part of my birthday present. This year, we went to George’s … Continue reading
Rainy Days and Sundays
Okay, so this afternoon is both. I was/am sorta antsy, so Mom and I took a walk…and of course, it was starting to rain when we walked out the door. I needed to get out. She just went to keep … Continue reading

Merry Stress-mas
The holidays are supposed to be a time for family togetherness, traditions, joy, and love. Yeah. That’s the hype. Most families are so split apart by world events, you all need to walk on eggshells to get through a meal. … Continue reading
Misadventures in Baking…and other things
I signed up for the Cookie Swap at work. I’ve been baking cookies for 45 years, so …no problem, right? Kidling and I made up three batters last night (MishMash, Sugar Cookies, and Shortbreads) and baked the MishMash. That dough … Continue reading

Holiday Blues
This is NOT a good day. It didn’t start too badly: the Kidling and I had to be up early to go grocery shopping with Mom, and we were. Then the car wouldn’t start. D was on his way out … Continue reading
