I am always happy to share a positive shopping experience and this week I received shipments from two companies with excellent customer service. Here’s the scoop. Chewy.com Roxy is experiencing renal issues (common in cats but serious) and needs to eat prescription food. The first two options she tried, she ate a couple times and […]
Putting together a simple mimosa bar and bloody Mary bar adds fun and several options to a brunch menu with very little effort. A very casual Sunday brunch has become our quarantine habit this year. After our early morning Sunday pickleball match, our small group all contributes to brunch afterward – usually at the pool. […]
Is it possible to get out of any store for less than $100 anymore? I know, I sound like one of those geezers who say, “I can remember when a candy bar cost a dime.” But, I wanted to refresh the plants on the back patio for the winter and man, those few plants and […]
I am sharing a few new things I got over the past week or two and what I think of them so far. I’m not an affiliate of anyone so I’m linking for convenience. Christmas Jammies I saw these Denver plaid flannel jammies on Target.com and the price was right since they were on sale […]
This week’s home improvement project was super sexy. We had the ceilings taped and mudded. Now they are ready for paint. Yes, we know how to have a good time AND spend money. You might remember last November, during one rain storm after another, we had our roof replaced. Where there were leaks, there was […]
I haven’t seen a weather map of the US in a while, but you would think we’re being bombarded by snowy scenes reminiscent of Currier and Ives. Or a Hallmark movie. But judging by all the outdoor winter decorations I see, it’s time to say goodbye to Thanksgiving and hello to Christmas. It is supposed […]
I don’t know about you, but I have just been carb loading lately. Cannot get enough bread. Or potatoes. And I’m giving in to the urges. So we dug out our old bread machine and tried a new recipe this week. And I channeled my grandma and made biscuits. Again. For Meatless Monday I made […]
For perfect boiled eggs, and more importantly, for the slickest easy peel ever, use an Instapot. I was reluctant to purchase an Instapot because I didn’t really see the value in one more expensive appliance in our smallish kitchen. Especially for the main purpose of boiling eggs. But John was really convinced when DF Barb […]
This is a long, sad story, so buckle up. It’s a story about a touchless kitchen faucet. And one more dang, expensive project in our house. A few years back we had a new faucet installed in our kitchen. Our plumber at the time swore it was the best money could buy. And, it never […]
It’s finally the time of year we can start enjoying more time on the patio. You know a little heat doesn’t keep me indoors and I’ve mentioned how our misters make a big difference in the brutal heat of the summer. However, October is really the month those of us in Arizona revel in. So […]
