It seems like not a week can go by that we (mainly meaning John) are doing another project. I mentioned that I needed a little more color in my home office and John said he could paint it himself. The reason that seems doable is that we have 12 foot ceilings and transom windows throughout […]
Wow, I think this may be a world record in our home, but we tried out three new recipe dishes this week and I want to pass them along. They were all hits with the hub, so thatâs a win. We have wildly different palates and diets, so finding meals in common is a challenge. […]
Okay, okay, okay. Last week my post was about getting back on track with healthy eating and exercise. This week my house is redolent with aromas of peanut butter, sugar and chocolate. What the heck? But. They are healthy (ish) sweets! Last week we had very few sweets in the house and Hub decided he […]
We were fortunate enough to get away for a couple of days mid-week last week to visit Kohlâs Ranch in Payson, Arizona. We visited there last summer and had such a wonderful time we went back. This year we went with DFs Evon and Barb and Stu. Our rooms all lined up facing the pool […]

The older I get, the less I like meat. I hardly even eat chicken anymore. Iâm not usually too big on grocery store rotisserie chicken because I donât care for the spices they use, but Costco is the exception. Their chicken is actually famous with a cult following. There are a number of articles written […]
I am a sucker for a pretty hook. I know, isnât that crazy? I love to have unruly things organized and have found that using hooks helps me round up things in a pretty way. Iâm sharing my top uses for decorative hooks. Ear Bud Round Up After using earbuds, I like to coil them […]
Who have you been in quarantine with? I know that ends in a preposition, BTW. I was quarantined with my husband and three cats. I know, youâve seen plenty of their pictures on this site.
