I am still at a loss as to what to blog this week. It is just a cold, dull, winter week. I did buy all the stuff to make lentil soup and oatmeal cookies. That will cheer this place up. Now I just have to find the time. I am actually planning to return to [...]

I have acquired a new skill…well, maybe not skill, but I can do it. Carrie has an old beading loom, and she has taught me how to use it. It took a long time to get the knack of it, but I understand it now. This is my first endeavor, and I have made some [...]
During the Great Depression homeless, then called Hobos, roamed much of the United States. They devised a sign code to warn others, show others where there might be a good meal, or to just give directions. A few of them are these:
I have come to believe that stray dogs have a similar sign code. They [...]
It is rather unnerving to think a photo can be taken in the driveway, cropped and be brought right into your kitchen. I cooked. No one died or even went to the hospital.
Disclaimer: No one was in any way harmed in the eating of this meal.
Note the Christmas stuff on the porch and the lights [...]
