After Christmas Shopping

You might realize Iā€™m not much of a shopper ā€“ going into stores, that is.Ā  But.Ā  I do love a good bargain.Ā  And tis the season for after Christmas shopping! Iā€™ll share with you a couple of things Iā€™m purchasing this week. Print Magazines Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s a one-day deal or not, but […]

Stowing Christmas

Hey, buddies, how are you doing?  Hanging in there?  Wishing this was over?  Having a restful, peaceful time?  Totally stressed out?  A little of all of the above? Many are happy 2020 is over and looking forward to a better year ahead.  But.  Just in case, I thought it might be a good idea to […]

Easy Sunday Linner

I have heard the benefits of […]

Instapot Refried Beansā€¦.And the Gym

It isnā€™t easy to fit both of those subjects into one post.  Or into one body, for that matter.  But the fact of the matter is that I love both of those things and both of those things have been restricted for me. But. Iā€™m easing back into both of them.  Hereā€™s the situation.  A […]
