My Recipe Invention

Okay, first of all, let me be honest. I did NOT invent this, as I said in my previous post. I modified it. I woke up yesterday morning and thought “Self, we need to figger out what to do with that chicken… I know, how about something with peppers and mandarin oranges?” So, I setContinue reading “My Recipe Invention”

Day in the Life

What does a day in our life look like you might ask? I’ll tell you, because it impacts my writing at this stage. First of all, our household. Scott and I live in an old “craftsman bungalow” that was built in about 1915. We’re not sure of the date. One record source, county records, saysContinue reading “Day in the Life”

I DO love 8 inches!

This past week, the news stations breathlessly hyped up the coming snow storm. It was going to be a big one! Problem is, over this past winter they’ve done the same thing several times.

It’s about how to go about finding a job… writing resumes, preparing forContinue reading “Workshops”

Starting Again

When I first began this blog, it was my intention to use it as a medium for writing about Scott’s and my travels, “Our Travels (and Stayings at Home)”. This implies that, not only would I be writing about our travels, it would be a blog about day to day stuff. And that indeed wasContinue reading “Starting Again”
