Ignorance Is Bliss
I have to admit that I have been rude, and in this case rude with purpose. Sometimes it just has to happen. I didn't say anything rude. As a matter of fact I did the exact opposite. I said nothing. Last year this time I shared a blog entitled This Should Never Have Happened, where I … Continue reading Ignorance Is Bliss
Pregnant at 66 – Yikes!
Now that’s a scary thought. This particular thought manifested itself as a dream. Ok as a nightmare. Nightmare snippets to be exact. Those connecting dreams that take place when you are between wake and sleep in the morning. When reality seems dusty and unattractive. When you keep dozing off and returning to the same dream … Continue reading Pregnant at 66 – Yikes!
Spring Things And Fence Dreams
Well spring has arrived in my little corner of the world. There have been days of lovely sunshine this April, which only means one thing–getting outside. Outside this time of year is in the garden. There is some clean up, which I always leave to the spring, and entails cutting back any wooden stems or … Continue reading Spring Things And Fence Dreams
Who Manages The Puke
This is not a graphic story about vomit. We have all heard, or seen, way too many of those. Instead, consider it a description of crisis management or perhaps determination. Or maybe even personal strength of character. But quite possibly it’s just pure stubbornness. In every household there is the person who manages the puke. … Continue reading Who Manages The Puke
One Day In December
I rolled out of bed just before nine o’clock and padded, well actually flip flopped, my way to the bathroom where I glanced out the window to see a skim of ice on the lake. It won’t last this time due to an impending warm spell, but a girl can dream, and it brings me … Continue reading One Day In December
Talking To Potatoes
I was talking to the potatoes in the kitchen. This is not unusual as I have a habit of talking to most inanimate objects I encounter. These particular potatoes were being peeled and cut so I could parboil them before roasting them to go with a nice roast of pork. Credit goes to my late … Continue reading Talking To Potatoes
Sleeping Arrangements
The other day my son asked a question that most adult children wouldn't dare to ask. JT is not like most adult children. It was at breakfast. The three of us were enjoying bagel eggs, our go-to breakfast sandwich. Bagels broiled with melted cheese on one side and butter on the other then sandwiched with … Continue reading Sleeping Arrangements
I Think I Am Allergic To My Kitchen
Is that possible? It certainly feels like it is possible. Is it one of those allergies that develops over time, after a long exposure? After all, I have been having to cook for what seems like forever. Since about 1969 after I turned twelve and my working mother could no longer find someone to do … Continue reading I Think I Am Allergic To My Kitchen
The Old Guy Gets A New Knee
For those who don't know me well, my husband, AKA The Doc, AKA The Old Guy, is nine years older than me. That means his joints and especially his knees are nine years older than mine. For the last few years, those old knees have been giving him a lot of problems. With them getting … Continue reading The Old Guy Gets A New Knee

The Good The Bad And The Bitchy
As usual, life has it's ups and downs. Good moments and bad moments. Happy moments and bitchy moments. Sometimes all of the above in a single day. Sometimes all of the above in a single hour. Kind of like my body temperature–constantly changing. It is not boring for sure. As they say, variety is the … Continue reading The Good The Bad And The Bitchy
The Annabelles VS The Bitch
Or is it The Bitch VS The Annabelles Several years ago, maybe eighteen or so, The Annabelles were given a home in The Bitch's garden. It was a nice spot, along the path to the shed, with the perfect mix of sun and very fertile soil. The Annabelles were hydrangeas and were beautiful when in … Continue reading The Annabelles VS The Bitch
What Happened To Warm And Fuzzy Fundraising?
The doorbell rang when The Doc and Bitch were downstairs in the family room, both reclined with their feet up, intent on watching the baseball game. It was the ninth inning and their beloved Blue Jays were losing. As loyal fans, they were hoping for a ninth-inning rally. It was early evening and it was … Continue reading What Happened To Warm And Fuzzy Fundraising?
It’s Fixed. It’s Washed. I’m Happy.
Early Monday morning, well early for us retired people, I took my banged-up, duct-taped car in for repairs. Some of you will remember my car. The car that I had backed into the plumber's van last year causing the plastic bumper to tear. The car that was also hit on that very same bumper by an … Continue reading It’s Fixed. It’s Washed. I’m Happy.
