Once again I am out of sync with everyone. I realize that people normally pickle their cucumbers once they have hoards of them and their neighbors, friends and relatives have refused to take another single one. Here I am making pickles, pickles with purchased cucumbers. First of all, I’ve never pickled anything in my life […]
I’ve been eating S.O.S. since I was a wee little Navy Brat. That’s how it all got started, the U.S. Navy. Travel back in time with me, just for a little while… My father is one of the most interesting people I know, he’s from a small, nay, teeny tiny town in West Texas. He […]
I’m traveling on business this week, being away from my family makes me sad so I needed a good laugh and thought I’d share it with you also (Source) (Source) (Source) If you want to see a great motorcycle cartoonist I recommend your visit Bikers are Animals Blog.

It’s pizza two ways, made for picking up with your fingers. Perfect for a family pizza night or the big game, or when a bunch of teenagers are coming over to play video games all night and they don’t want to stop playing. It just doesn’t get better than popping a little pizzatizer in your […]

I was on my way, finally I was going to see the famous Ree Drummond better known as The Pioneer Woman, blogger, photographer, home schooler (like how I used a made up word for that), gardener, cook, novelist and celebrity. I had carefully picked out my clothes, this was not an affair to dress to […]
Sometimes you read something, watch something on TV or someone says something and it just brings back waves of memories. It’s not that you’ve forgotten, it just hasn’t been front and center on your mind. Then BOOM, you can’t get it out of your mind. The stories and the reminiscing begin… Almost all of my […]
It came to me, out of nowhere, a drink for St. Patrick’s Day. I tried to ignore it; it would be empty calories that I don’t need. Then I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond and they had Irish Coffee Mugs…cheap. I bought two. Just in case. But I won’t use them. I searched the […]
There she is, my old girl (she’s 12 this year), with her nose pointed to the garage door, just waiting to be ridden. She knows Spring is coming and soon the snow and ice will melt and she’ll feel the black top beneath her rubber. She waits impatiently. The saddlebags are ready to be packed, […]
