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 →
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...

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 →
The Best “Two-Ingredient” Biscuits!
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 →
At the Hairdresser’s (not really)
Hubbin is coloring my hair at home - for the record, he does a great job at applying color, and I'm reacting as if he's my hairdresser, one I've not seen in ages. "So, here's what's been going on since the last time I sat in your chair," I remark. He laughs but I'm more... Continue Reading →
Another Rainy Day in Oklahoma
Yesterday morning it rained and Hubbin brought me my first cup of the day, before I opened my second eye; I cannot remember the last time I've had that luxury. This will add to the list of just why I love rainy days, "coffee in bed" is now on my list. This morning I'm reflecting... Continue Reading →
Helping Hands
I have been helping out whenever needed, and most recently, I helped out family, but injured my back (and tail bone) in the process. This morning I sit here uncomfortably and feel like a slacker because I cannot help anyone due to having to recuperate. I am frustrated and whiney and thinking that I should... Continue Reading →
Using Our Screened-In Patio in the Winter
Our patio is one of my favorite places to hang out. It faces south and is surrounded on three sides by our home. One of the first renovations we did when we moved in, was to screen it in so we could use it, fairly bug-free. I do a lot of my writing out there... Continue Reading →
Turkey Day Eve
I'm in a reflective mood today as I reminisce about Thanksgivings' past. Tomorrow it will be Hubbin and me preparing our dinner side-by-side, sharing the load and the meal. Our kids and the grands live far away, as do the friends we left behind in Nevada when we moved, so there will be no extra... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving Traditions
My thoughts are flooded with childhood tradition memories this time of year, and growing up, there were so many. Finding the largest turkey that money could buy. Me wondering if it would even fit in the oven! The detested whole cranberry sauce that managed to make it to our table one year (the jellied cranberry... Continue Reading →
