Since canned pumpkin seems difficult to procure and since I opened a can for my homemade pumpkin latte, I didnât want to waste an ounce of what I had left over. So I made gluten-free pumpkin donuts in my adorable champagne colored mini donut pan. Sallyâs Baking Addiction has never given me a bad recipe, […]
No full-fledge fall decorating around here yet. I like to dip my toe into seasonal decorating, and it’s way too early for pumpkins and leaves. But I took a little gander around TJ Maxx this weekend and here are a couple of September finds I thought Iâd share. Some I purchased, some I did not. […]
Remember the recent post about my bicycle? I really love toodling around on my bike with no agenda. And as I mentioned, I donât bike for exercise, just for pleasure. Except for the part where my buns are in misery on Day 2, and then Day 3 never happens. Somehow the pleasure gets lost along […]
Always on the hunt for the perfect running shoe and now I have a new shoe rack to home them after my morning exercise. New Balance Running Shoe Fresh Foam More 2 is my latest purchase in the search for running shoes. As each year goes by, the miles spent running decreases, but I still […]
Have you noticed the shorter days yet? Can you sleep in just a tad later because itâs not bright and sunny at 4:30 a.m. with birds chirping? And the cats getting twitter pated? Can you light a candle in the evening because itâs actually dark before you go to bed? Okay, is it only me […]
Does the advent of Labor Day usher in pumpkin season? Judging by the fact that three grocery stores we visited were out of pumpkin, I think I might be behind the eight ball already. DF Evon finally found some when she was out and picked up a couple of cans for me so I could […]
âAround Townâ is my code for we didnât do much this weekend. I was feeling pretty lazy. But downtime is good, right? In fact, Sunday was so lazy I didn’t even work out. Not one minute. Didn’t leave my house. Come Monday the piper had to be paid though. I’ll be looking for the ibuprofen […]
For many, Labor Day celebrations are the last of the summer. For me it marks my last patriotic-themed weekend. And just like that, another summer is almost over. Wow. This year I am downplaying the red, white and blue, and using a lime green background. Dollar store placemats are topped with plain white World Market […]
In a moment of optimism spurred by the coolest, wettest summer we have experienced since moving to Arizona, we decided to stick our toes in the water for a fall garden kick off. Now, we don’t have impressive garden beds and acres of land like other climes, but our love of produce keeps us trying. […]
Several years ago, business took me to North and South Carolina quite frequently. As in about once or twice a month. And that usually meant a stop for Carolina BBQ somewhere. It didnât really matter where, because itâs all so good. Tangy and vinegary and not too sweet. But. Did you catch the part about […]
