Happy Thanksgiving friends. I hope you are all feeling as thankful and blessed as I am. Even though we may not be together this year, I am so grateful for my wonderful family.
Halloween may have been different, but it was still pretty fun. We had our own Halloween party instead of the usual trick or treating, and I don't think any of us were the worse for it. Here is Eva seeing if Ozzie gets the concept of trying to bite the swinging cookie on a string. […]
Well, this is a first. Our annual family Halloween Party has been canceled. In the meantime….wear a mask!!!! Consequently, I won't be sharing my usual costume parade and Halloween treat recipes. Maybe next year… Back at home, Eva and her stepsister Sydney are carving pumpkins. After a satisfying dinner of pot roast, gravy, and local […]
We are having a super fun getaway this week, so I am not sure how much I will have time to post. My husband, Eva, and I are staying up at Lake Tahoe for the week. The weather is absolutely glorious. Blue skies, temperatures in the high 60s, and not so many people. Eva loves […]

This is kind of a personal post, so if you aren't into that, feel free to come back in a day or so when I have other content. I am still with my dad. It turns out his issue with his eyes is quite serious. Six or seven months ago, he noticed his vision was […]
You all have heard of YouTube, right? Well, if you have a YouTube channel devoted to book reviews and book chats, you are called a BookTuber. And my daughter Sara just took the plunge and started her own channel! I invite you to go check her out, subscribe to her updates, and "like" her first […]
Thanks for bearing with me while I took a short break. Last week was a rough one for many of us and my outlook on life was not the best. A few days finding joy in small close things has helped me tremendously. Something that occurred in my neighborhood this weekend has made me so […]
I had a great visit with my dad on Saturday and Sunday. I made him soup, his favorite thing to eat. It was so rewarding to see him eat every last bite of it. He has gotten so thin and frail. I suppose that is to be expected at the age of 94. All in […]
