I have never been what one might call Photogenic. In fact, if you look in the dictionary at the antonym for Photogenic, you will see MY picture. I do NOT photograph well. Whereas, my sister can crawl out of bed with a bed of squirrels in her hair and she STILL looks […]

If this guy wasn’t so skinny, I’d say that this was me. But I’m NOT skinny. And I am late today. Late with everything. It’s been one of those Mondays. Any Monday that’s the first day of the month is always bad, but to have it hit you after a […]

My mom’s birthday was yesterday. She’s a whopping 67 years old. It amazes me how that doesn’t sound so old to me now as it did when I was 20 and she turned 40. I thought she was over the hill already. Little did I know that several years later, she’d […]

How does that happen? Well, leave it to Serious Eats. They have it going ON combining Halloween, FOOD (my favorite topic), pumpkin carving and the Presidential Race. That’s quite a combination.

When my oldest boy moved out of the house this past summer, he was so worried about his mommy “being bored” without him there. Yes, I miss my babies and I did suffer some Empty Nest feelings . . . the first time he moved out, but the boy is 24 years old now. […]
