I would like to share the experience I had working at a COVID hospital for the past couple of weeks. This is not a political treatise or in any way an expert opinion, but it certainly is a big deal during this time and I feel like I would be remiss if I didn’t share […]
Ok, stores are opening. Are you excited to get some retail therapy? The poor Amazon drivers should be seeing some relief once people can get out and about and get their own stuff. I’m not much of a store shopper anymore, but I do think it’s my responsibility as an American to help restart the […]
Our exciting news is that we wrapped up two projects that have been ongoing since before the nonsense started. I have waited a long time for these projects to be over and I’m loving our beautiful home even more now. Hmmm, too bad nobody is going to see it. Oh, well, we enjoy it and […]
We got out for a little exploratory drive on Saturday and discovered the Cheery Lynn historical district in Central Phoenix. Not far off a main road, Thomas, sits this adorable neighborhood. The homes are Tudor and English cottage and not at all what you might expect to see in Phoenix. It is one of the […]
Happy week after Easter – one to remember, I’m sure. I hope we all found that doing things in a new way made us creative and happy and not feel too cheated out of life’s celebrations. My dear friends Evon, Cindy and Sara gave me a surprise birthday party Sunday. Yep, on Zoom. I was […]
This has been a busy week for me and a slow week for the hub. He’s SUPPOSED to be resting his knee due to a stress fracture for two weeks. He’s been sort of up and down with that, but it means I get to do all the fun chores around the house and still […]
Do you celebrate what I call ethnic (but PC would probably prefer “cultural”) celebrations? I do, especially if they involve eating. And luckily for me, most holidays revolve around food! Of course, everyone knows the menu for Thanksgiving and Christmas, maybe even Passover and Easter. But some of the lesser celebrations – well I’m all […]
We hosted our first patio happy hour Friday night with DF Helen. It might have been a bit more than happy hour, because we added an assemble-yourself pizza bar, so I guess you can call it dinner. Can pizza be delicious and healthy? Well, we built and grilled them on the patio. I can attest […]
There is a very good reason why I moved to a place that has hellaciously hot summers. It is for the short winters, of course. We in Arizona are rewarded with falls that are more like what I call summer-lite – hot days and cool nights. Spring generally starts early here and I can generally […]
I absolutely love math. That is either a crazy affirmation statement that makes me hope someday I will supernaturally be good at it or it’s the biggest lie I’ve ever told. I don’t love math, but I love the idea of math. I’ve seen movies about math. A Beautiful Mind, Enigma, The Theory of Everything, Hidden […]
