PUT A LID ON IT.  CORNINGWARE ANYONE?

October 27, 2022

Corningware, a staple of kitchens since the late 1950s.   I remember the first commercials – yes, I am THAT old.  It showed someone taking a Corningware from the freezer and putting it directly  into an oven, and Corningware featured a lovely blue cornflower design.   I had a couple of pieces of Corning ware, large … More PUT A LID ON IT.  CORNINGWARE ANYONE?

“Post COVID” Yuck.

September 14, 2022

Why does “post COVID” return to normal not seem normal at all?  It is the same clubs getting busy again, and the same rituals of meals, and meetings, activities, people, trips, and on and on, and yet, many times I just stop and think, “how did I get all of this done just three years … More “Post COVID” Yuck.

Fixing Up The Bedroom

March 14, 2022

We are starting with new bedroom furniture.  I asked for the walls to be painted a lighter color, up from the medium taupe to perhaps a Vanilla White.  What I am getting first is new bedroom furniture, the new standard gray, up from the traditional dark wood Bassett (read, well made). Hubby likes to do … More Fixing Up The Bedroom

Keys – Lost Again

October 6, 2021

Just about everyone, at some point in life, misplaces their keys – house keys, car keys, office keys, etc. Those keys may be lost for a short time, or long time, or forever, and searching for them is maddening, especially when they are found either right under your nose, or in such an unlikely place … More Keys – Lost Again

An Ordinary Sunday. Yeah, Right!

June 7, 2021

It was an ordinary Sunday morning, as ordinary as anything has been during the pandemic. Church is still outdoors and attendance limited. We had a reservation for 2, sitting on the picnic benches where the school children eat lunch, for 9:30 a.m. We live a mile away, so at around 9:10 we were ready to leave … More An Ordinary Sunday.

Pasta 101 – How Hard Can It Be!

April 17, 2021

“Honey, I think I’d like to try making our own pasta”. Thus began my latest adventure.  The comment came from my husband, not me. I am half Sicilian and grew up in an area with a large Italian and Sicilian population. Only rarely did I hear of anyone making their own pasta and then it … More Pasta 101 – How Hard Can It Be!

Short Arms. Who Knew?

March 17, 2021

I remember reading about Michael Phelps when he won his first set of Olympic medals. The article talked about how, when he was growing up, his arms were very long and the kids at school teased him. Funny about him having very long arms because nice long, powerful, arms made for a great swimmer and … More Short Arms. Who Knew?

Five Minutes – Five Simple Minutes. Vol. I

February 27, 2021

Five minutes. All it took in total was five minutes and I had been putting it off for at least five months.  How did I get it done? We painted the master bath four and a half years ago and, for some reason, the paint chipped away in a couple of spots by the light … More Five Minutes – Five Simple Minutes. Vol. I

Whisper, Where Are You Whisper?

June 26, 2020

Whisper, our 2 ½ year old mostly black cat, was due at the veterinary clinic this morning at 7:15 a.m. for her annual Wellness Check. My first mistake was agreeing to such an early time, but my husband is usually an early riser and he is the one who fusses over the four cats, so … More Whisper, Where Are You Whisper?

Keurig Party Time. An Adventure

December 5, 2019

How much coffee to make for our annual Holiday Open House is always a great question and the answer is . . . . well, it is all over the place.  We can have 140 RSVPs and only 90 attendees, or 115 arrive.  Some years they drink a lot of coffee and some years they do … More Keurig Party Time.
