I'm so excited to have my son Ahren home for Christmas. We had a grueling car trip to pick him up from the San Francisco airport. Over eight hours in the car. But we are home now and all is well. The guest room is all cozy and set up for a special guest. I've […]
Need an easy recipe to feed an army this holiday season? I've got one for you. It is Spaghetti Pie from All Recipes. It really makes enough to serve at least 8 people. Maybe more. It even has veggies in it: I used a red pepper, onions and fresh mushrooms. The recipe calls for a […]
I won't lie, my reading life has taken a bit hit over the past couple of months. It's been hard to concentrate for one thing, and for another, I never seem to have a minute to sit down. I literally go from one task to another the entire time I am awake. It won't be […]
This guy is my hero. I call him my son-in-law, which he was at one time. He is Eva's daddy, a winemaker, and an all-around wonderful human being. He helps me out at the drop of a hat and is the person I call at midnight when I need a helping hand. He is always […]
I've had a lot going on this year, particularly in the past six months. One thing I did manage to accomplish was to finish a quilt for my brother-in-law. When my sister was alive I made her a few quilts, which she so appreciated. Her attitude must have rubbed off on her husband because just […]
I am still enjoying what is left of the fall color. Most of the leaves are down or have turned brown, but there is still a tree of two that still hangs on to its red or yellow color. Inside our house it looks like Christmas, but I still love that outside fall color. I […]
It seems like we just can't get a break lately. Poor Dennis was practicing with his walker yesterday and his leg gave out on him and he fell. I was right behind him with the wheelchair, but he missed it. He wasn't injured, but he couldn't get up and I couldn't lift him. I called […]
We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. My husband is home from the hospital and is doing well. It was a beautiful day yesterday and he came outside for the first time in two months and was able to water some of the plants on the back porch. We have a week […]
It will be a happy Thanksgiving at our house this year for sure. My husband came home from the hospital yesterday and we now embark on his long road to recovery and mobility. He is beside himself with the idea of being home and seeing Archie, spending time with me, eating my cooking, and being […]
Sara and I put out our latest book review podcast this weekend. Click on the Reeding Between the Lines link to the right to listen or watch us on YouTube. Needless to say, with my husband's health issues, the past month hasn't been my best reading month. However, I did manage to read a few […]
