That's what we're dealing with with my mom, Karen and it is so sad to watch someone you love lose their faculties. We're telling my mom on Monday that we have to move her "downstairs", "where she'll have more support and more attention and be closer to their dining room". That's how they've told us to say because it will…

My darling mom, who couldn't boil beans when she got married (her words) learned how to cook following the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook and passed it down to me, even though she actually taught me how to cook long before that. And she was an amazing cook by the time she taught me. We did everything together. Homemade…

Margaret, I read that book for the first time, IN FRENCH, in my HS French class and fell in love. I have it in both French and English in my library. Has so many wonderful life lessons. “For I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars to be acquainted with the butterflies.” “Here is my secret. It is very…

OMGoodness, Rebecca, cinnamon apple butter sounds amazing! I love apple butter and I love adding cinnamon to my applesauce, so... YUM! Oh man!

I am just LOVING all the pictures from EVERYWHERE! Thank you all! Grateful for... 8-*book-anything by john sandford Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

I actually have the musicozy mask Machka! LOVE IT! Don't use it all the time. Mostly for travel, but it works GREAT for keeping "others" away from me and I love that it has just a little nose cushion to add darkness in that space where it curves. So it doesn't pinch your nose, but there's no light peeking in. And it synced…

OMG, Mary that's horrible! I'd like to believe in Karma like Allie says, but I don't think it always comes around. Sad to say "those people" tend to cover for each other and it sucks! I'm so sorry you've had to deal with the worst of the worst. There really are good cops and good firefighters in the world. MOST of them…

Another lovely fall day in the neighborhood! Headed to Lacy and Nick's for the VIKINGS (American) football game today. HOPEFULLY, most of their cousins will be there, but my brothers and their wives will not. Youngest already declined (unfortunately typical) and the oldest is away for his FIL's internment. Have a wonderful…
