I’ve been a painting fiend the past month. Our daughter bought her first house, and while she’s on vacation, my husband, son and I sneaked into her homestead and painted just about everything that didn’t move. (I’ve also been a caulking fiend, but that’s another post.) OK, we didn’t really sneak in. She gave us […]
Angelina’s Choice
Angelina Jolie is a controversial figure. Some people think she’s a talented, tattooed actress; some think she stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston and tops the weird chart for wearing (second husband) Billy Bob Thornton’s blood in a vial around her neck. Other people admire her work as an ambassador to third world countries; […]
Plastic Tray Recycle
I love to recycle and re-purpose items because it makes me feel like I’m being a good steward of the world’s stuff. There certainly is a lot of stuff on the planet, and the longer we can use a material thing, the better. I’m a Pinterest fan mainly because there are hundreds of ideas there […]
MANGOES (what you need to know)
I have a love/hate relationship with mangoes. For me, they are equally delicious and toxic. I didn’t know this until last year when a friend of ours gave us some huge, juicy mangoes from her tree. After eating them nonstop for a few days, I woke up with a few itchy dots on my wrist. […]
Talking Turkey (and other treats)
Thanksgiving, Christmas, cooler weather! Turkey, and more turkey! They come every time this year, but it still surprises me. I live in Florida, so I’m a shorts/flip-flop girl year round. I hung clothes out in the sunshine just yesterday. And scarfed down two fat, juicy navel oranges. Snow shovels and mittens just aren’t on my […]
Fifteen Shades of Real Life
I’m going to be honest and tell you I’m disappointed Fifty Shades of Grey was made into a movie. I had hoped the books would recede in the culture’s memory. The books do not portray true love, nor healthy individuals. Sadly, enough women found them enticing, and today, the movie will be released. The story […]
Ballpark Brownies
I was remiss earlier this week when I wrote about our favorite brownie, but did not post the recipe. I’ve received many comments/emails this week about that oversight. Man, you guys are on the ball(park.) Because I’m grateful for every reader who pops in, and I don’t want to get smacked with a ruler, here’s […]
Happy Birthday, Bob!
Today is my husband’s birthday. A Baker’s Dozen Reasons Why I Love the Birthday Boy. 1. Every time he goes to 7-11, he asks me if I need anything. 2. He washes my car. Regularly. Shines the tires and everything. He claims it runs better when it’s clean. 3. He’s tender and kind with people […]
