Shower or bath? Shower. I love my rain shower and handheld shower. I do miss bubble baths. Are you a good cook? And if so, what’s your specialty? I think so. Although not what you’d call gourmet, More down-home, reminiscent of ancestral foods and recipes. I don’t have one speciality. People have liked my RosemaryContinue reading “TMI Tuesday August 31, 2021: Questions, Questions, Questions”

Young Writers
Illustory: Write and Illustrate a Professionally Produced Book I bought this years ago for my daughter when she was about 9. She died when she was 16 and I still have the book she wrote, illustrated, and published with this product. It’s now been 20 years since she died and I treasure this book.

The Tale of Two Women in America
This is from my journal about an experience I had when I was in the hospital ICU two years ago. When I was in the hospital, I came in contact with a whole lot of people… way too many and I was beginning to feel “peopled” out. But two made an impact on me…Maria andContinue reading “The Tale of Two Women in America”
The Heat Is On
I have lived my entire life in Western Washington, and there is a good reason I stay here… the moderate climate. It’s not too hot, and it’s not too cold, and we have a nice variety of weather… some sunshine, a little snow, hail, wind, fog, and less rain than they have in Chicago.

Meals
I remember when I was a young child, we ate dinner around the dining table sometimes, but that was usually when my grandparents were visiting. Other times, my siblings and I sat at the kitchen counter. There were bread-boards that pulled out and we had three stools to sit on. I do remember one timeContinue reading “Meals”
Hello June Hello Summer
While the calendar says that summertime doesn’t begin until June 20th or 21st, for me, summer starts June 1 (and autumn starts Sept 1). I’m usually a fan of autumn; I love everything about fall. I don’t care much for winter (2 days of snow goes a long way for me) or even spring. AndContinue reading “Hello June Hello Summer”
