As I was digging through my old photos this week, I came across this one of my brother several years ago in Pensacola, FL. It ALWAYS makes me laugh. He’s such a trip! Always goofing around. I don’t know WHO the unsuspecting girl is on the beach who now has her [...]

The OLD thing that I talked about earlier in the week comes into play HERE.  Because you see, when I made my Blueberry Cobbler last week, it sent me down memory lane.  It always does.  And you know what?  That lane is getting longer and LONGER and L.O.N.G.E.R.  I can’t believe it’s been 24 years [...]

Well, I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July holiday!  I, personally, took a vacation day on Thursday to pre-empt the already three-day weekend to stretch it to four.  I rarely take vacation days, especially on the eve of a holiday.  (That’s when disasters most likely strike in my business)  But I braved it, [...]

Or maybe I should be asking “What is considered news?” My Google homepage displays breaking news links (so that I can stay current with the pulse of America). This is what I saw today:
