I’m going to have to get me a pet! You will soon see why.

I always meant to go and get one of these for the refrigerator, but for some reason haven’t gotten around to it. But, that’s not saying that I never will.

And with this one, I think that I will need a dictionary close by, but the site I’m sending you today keeps everything handy right on your computer screen!

Before you turn up your nose at vanilla ice cream as being bland, just think how versatile it is. A few scoops in a serving dish and you have dessert. And if you have a little chocolate syrup, even better! It’s right up there with your other staples! It goes with everything!!
I made chocolate cake last week and can you think of any other flavor of ice cream what would compliment chocolate cake in quite the same way? I don’t think so. And did you know that it rates only second to chocolate!
And there is just something about ice …read more

“Whether you follow or avoid the trends of popular culture, social instigators like Dan Brown are there to bring our collective attention back to something we may otherwise have missed. Before The Da Vinci Code, the Mona Lisa, the Madonna of the Rocks, and the Last Supper were paintings we’d always known about but never really looked at properly. Simply by adding a little intrigue, some clues hidden in the symbolism of a painting, and the promise of a treasure hunt, an artist who died centuries ago captured the imagination of twenty-first century readers.
So, imagine what a well-planned treasure …read more

I gave up the “giving up” coffee as of yesterday. I’m not drinking as much, but I’m at least indulging again and I’m a much nicer person to be around. I never thought that it would make such a huge difference until I watched Ken Barlow (all of you Coronation Street fans know what I’m talking about.) He made a bet with Deirdre that he could give up coffee if she gave up smoking.

There was no living with the man lol… Okay, I know that it’s just a “soap” but it started me thinking and then there was …read more

I’m the only one in our family who has been following So You Think You Can Dance and I’m hooked. These kids blow me away! But last night… whatever were they thinking. Apparently 8 million people voted and Dmitri gets voted off the show?? This kid is brilliant and I’m really going to miss him. I certainly didn’t see it coming!

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
Ashley Smith
I have to admit, the last few days I really haven’t been noticing the beauty. I was too wound up in myself and my craving for a cup of cofee. Now isn’t that sick!! As soon as I write this post, I am going out into my backyard full of dirt and just take a deep breath. Dirt smells good… right?? …read more

Well, we don’t quite have a garden yet, but we have plenty of dirt. That arrived about a week ago and the property has been graded… I did tell you about how much I love the sound of bull dozers right??
Anyway, I thought that today’s how-to would be on what you need to take care of in the garden for July… if you should have one. I never thought that I would miss not having a garden as much as I am. It was just a lot of work last year… now, I’m missing it! I’m thinking …read more

Well, it’s day three and I’m miserable. At least I was until I saw the message from Deb L… thank you, thank you, thank you.
At the moment I’m trying this gel (that you apply every night) and there seems to be a little improvement. But the idea about the straw is worth checking out as well. Yes, it is the front teeth that I’m most concerned about. If I can get them white again, maybe I won’t have to give it up afterall. Fingers crossed. I do miss my coffee!!
I’m so used to having a cup at breakfast …read more

My daughter doesn’t drink coffee and has the whitest teeth imaginable. My son was over on Monday and his teeth positively glowed too. That made me decide that if I ever want my teeth to be “glow in your face” white, I’m going to have to give up coffee.
Did I ever tell you just how much I like coffee?? And if they have liquer and whip cream on top, I like it even more. But I’m giving it up. Only one problem…
I have this headache from hell. I’m not sure if it’s the coffee because I did have an espresso …read more
