My poor Hubbin follows along as best he can with my many projects and interests, and today I was, you guessed it, processing the items I found on sale, and doing some cleaning. I processed twenty pounds of potatoes for my freezer, found some chives to dehydrate, and then as I was organizing some of... Continue Reading →

Listening to Metallica
Remember when CDs went everywhere with you? Yes, I'm that old. Well, I lost my CD music case the very day I was to take an almost 600 mile, one-way, road trip. I was bummed! I had looked forward to Janis, Celine, Elton John, Neil Diamond, and for the record, yes, I also had ABBA,... Continue Reading →
Finding The Time To Write (Again!)
Ah, how many times have I whined in my blog about that? Yesterday I read something about priorities, so I listed out mine, along with the mini-drama attached to each. For example, the surfaces in my home. There does not seem to be a single surface in my home that is clear and or organized.... Continue Reading →
Tornados, Whirlwinds, and Yes, Let’s Add a Snake
We have been under so many weather watches in the past couple of weeks - the big four: hail, winds, rain, & tornados! Yesterday was supposed to be yet another, but it totally bypassed us to the north, hitting several Oklahoma towns with its share of drama. I've had a different sort of whirlwind within...

Mother’s Day
This morning I commented on a woman's post that paid tribute to all the moms out there. I said, "Let's not forget all the dads that are the "stand-in" moms today." Her response surprised me; she said there was "Father's Day" for that and that men got their own days. I guess I am of... Continue Reading →
Organizing and Purging Amongst Chaos
I have a dilemma. Perhaps I'm making this a whole lot more difficult than it is, but I'm trying to turn (translate, RECLAIM) my home back to a place of calmness, a haven to feel at peace with, and get rid of the clutter. The problem lies with the fact that I also have a... Continue Reading →
Sugar Coating It, Southern Style
I have two close friends who have their own styles of calling "B-S" with me. One will simply say it, then explain just why she has that opinion of what I'm trying to say or do; the other will sugar coat it like the Southern Lady she is. I respect both opinions - after all,... Continue Reading →
Easter at My House
For years my Easter was just about as full of traditions as the other annual holidays, but then my children grew up and out of the need of one vital one: Hunting Easter eggs. And then my children moved out and on with their own lives, leaving me to color eggs for only my own... Continue Reading →
And Speaking of Forgetting…
I put together my coffee pot last night and set the auto brew to start at six this morning. I woke up at 5:56 a.m. so I figured I'd turn off the auto brew and start the coffee brewing a few minutes earlier. A good thing I did! I had forgotten to put the pot... Continue Reading →
Forgetting What You’re Here After
I know there's a joke in there somewhere, but tonight is not about that. My daughter and grandchildren are staying with us until they close on their house, which should be next week sometime. I'm super happy about that - my daughter and I are reconciling, and I get to see the littles daily. This... Continue Reading →
