I was just going to post some pics to FB, but thought, boy, I’ve been pretty lax on my blogging this past week. So, I’ll make an official post out of it. ( yes, you’ll find a YouTube of Donna & Dee ) My girlfriend Melissa is having her first baby. Way to go girl […] Read more…
‘It’s All Good’ : a cookbook review
I have a few cookbooks….no, I’ve got a bunch of cookbooks. New ones, old ones, really old ones (did Fanny Farmer really skin a squirrel?!). Mom was telling me about a new one that’s out that she was enthralled with, ‘It’s All Good’ by Gwyneth Paltrow. Yes, I know some people have just had enough […] Read more…
Grape Juice and Certo ; what?!
Anyone who knows me knows I have terrible knees. Always have. If I spend too much time on the dance floor (usually prompted by an excess of my friend ‘vodka’,…at least he doesn’t tell me I can sing), I pay for it with huge, ugly swollen knees the following day. Swollen, like can’t wear jeans […] Read more…
The Nerd in me Loves the new IKEA Catalog
On a recent trip to IKEA, we came around the corner and gasped (literally) at a new light fixture. My son’s girlfriend proclaimed, “It looks just like,…” then I finished her sentence, “… The Death Star !!” We all had a big laugh over it. “That’s no moon – it’s a space station…” – which was […] Read more…
Recycling : It’s really pretty easy
Who remembers the ‘Crying Indian’ commercial from the ’70’s? If you don’t, it’s on YouTube – yes, a 40 year old PSA – everything’s on YouTube! I remember it because it was good. It stuck with me as a child thinking, ‘I don’t want to live like that. No wonder he’s upset.’ I also remember […] Read more…

Wicked Washer: ok, maybe ADD washer
I’m sure you’re wondering why I’ve attached a photo of my washing machine and a noticeably sparkling clean laundry room floor. (No, the laundry room has NOT been remodeled,…yet) This is a reprint from a post I on my Aunt’s Blog KTgreendesign.com from August of 2012 – I still have, and love, this machine – but beware […] Read more…
Memorial Day : a day of reflection and thanks
It’s Memorial Day – and as the day nears it’s end, I’m feeling a bit guilty that I never did post anything special. I didn’t think I had much to contribute. Terabytes of data have already been spent on social media, tv, radio, etc, etc. on the subject. What else can I say. I can […] Read more…

The Flower Recipe Book : a review
Mothers Day is coming, so this week I think I’ll post about flowers and gardening a bit. This is a ‘throw-back’ from last year, but still very relevant. I like to consider myself the Mistress of Mediocrity. I do many, many things pretty well – I don’t do anything particularly well enough to be considered […] Read more…
