This is just a quick check in to let you all know I am still alive. If there is anyone out there who is still reading my blog that is… We had a great Thanksgiving. It was a small gathering of just four of us, but very nice all the same. After this dinner, I […]
I've been packing for our annual trip to visit our son Ahren in Ireland. We leave in just over a week, and I am determined not to overpack this time. I swear the last two years I packed ten outfits and ended up wearing the same three over and over again. I set up my […]
Yes I really did buy two of the same book. Luckily my random number generator picked commenter number 17, Nancy Watkins, to take one of them off my hands! Congratulations Nancy. Send me an email with your address and I will get one of these in the mail to you right away! Thanks to everyone […]
My son in law knows how to do things right. He hired a professional sushi chef to come to his house and prepare five hours of sushi for 16 guests. It was amazing. Just imagine this happening in your own home and not a restaurant! The sushi master brought an assistant and they made the […]
Ozzie and I would like to wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July if you live in the US, and a happy Thursday if you don't! We plan to go to a barbecue with the family, and my corn salad that I posted on a week or so ago has been requested. […]

It has become something of a tradition for Eva to make a special Easter cake with me. This was our effort a couple of years ago. Eva is in charge of choosing the design, and as she has gotten older, she has taken on more of the decorating responsibilities as well. This is what she came […]
My husband and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary this week. I tell you, those years flew by in a flash. After all that time, we barely need to talk, we are so in sync. I laughingly told him we no longer have to ask each other questions, because we know the answers just […]
Once more we gathered for my family's Annual Halloween Party over the weekend. I think it's been more than 34 years that we have been doing this, but who's counting? That is my little family portrait above. It would be perfect for our Christmas cards, don't you think? My husband is a Pharaoh, my daughter […]
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. Life is just getting in my way I tell you. Here are a few things we have been up to. Eva and I made unicorn pumpkin cookies this weekend. Now that is a concept isn't it? We had the candy corn and while we were decorating […]
