Short and sweet, it is equal parts of Self-Rising Flour and Whipping Cream, "1 to 1, two to two, etc." Stir the ingredients together and make a dough ball. A bit more of each can be added, depending on if your dough is too wet or too dry. Roll out and knead on a 'self-rising'... Continue Reading →

The Littles Are Coming!
I'm so excited! My daughter is moving back to town, which means my grandsons are coming back! The littles will be here at my house for a few hours this afternoon, but since my daughter and fiancé have bought a house here, I'll get to see the littles a lot more often. I'm so excited...

Me, Myself, or I
The daily writing prompt is "Do you enjoy your job?" I'm laughing about that since I am self-employed, so I don't know which of my bosses is harder on me, "Me, Myself, or I." I can have all the coffee I want, but when "Myself" really just wants some downtime, "I" steps forward and says,... Continue Reading →
“It just needs…”
The other day, my youngest started a potential car-purchase conversation with me that went, "...it just needs..." and after immediately telling him to walk away from such a potential purchase, I immediately zoned out and took a ride down Memory Lane with my late brother. My brother seemed to get great deals on vehicles, usually... Continue Reading →
One of My Fishing Stories
I began my love for fishing when I was about five years old. I'm sure at least one of my five older siblings taught me to where to find worms, how to bait a hook and cast my line, but I fished for almost a year before catching my first. I spent every available moment... Continue Reading →
Too Many Irons in the Fire
I have days when I'm scrambling to finish everything I've started, and then there are days when I just need a 'down day'. Today was one of those down days, but I've had too much going on to call "Time Out". Tomorrow looks to be slightly busy (and time-consuming) with a Super Bowl Party, but... Continue Reading →
The Ultimate Sense of Peace – Death?
I dream a lot; I've said this so many times over the years, but today it bears repeating. This past year I had a dream about the ultimate sense of peace, an enveloping, calm, stillness that padded me in a peace that I have never experienced in real life, ever. I dreamed I was in...

Flipping the Script
I read a TikTok tonight that asked, "What sentence destroyed you but you acted like it didn't hurt you?" And after reading some of the comments, I then went down my own personal rabbit hole. But then I realized two things. First, I immediately relived each of those hurtful moments to the point of tears.... Continue Reading →
In Memory of Toby Keith
So, over my first cup of the day, I read the headline about Toby Keith's passing. This news has had me reflecting most of the day - the memories of his songs and the places I first heard them and the people I was with. Noting the fact that he was younger than I am,... Continue Reading →
My First Video Story – Ding, Dong, Ditch
I posted my first-ever video story on YouTube this morning. This has been a work-in-progress and is kind of scary. It's like I'm introducing one of my babies to the world, and not everyone is going to think it's as "cute" as I do. Here's hoping for a positive reception to my first effort!!! https://youtu.be/HDy9SsNO30E
