A week or so ago I offered to *host* Flat Stanley for the son of a Facebook friend. I’ve done this before and I think it’s fun and a neat project for kids. This particular teacher is only requesting postcards from each host location and not the usual photographs to go along with them. She…
That’s just nuts – soap nuts, that is.
Have you heard of soap nuts? They aren’t really nuts but rather, a berry. Completely natural, kind to the environment and CHEAP. I’ve used Amway laundry detergent for 30 years and have always been happy with it. It was one of the very first to be made without all the fillers and is phosphate-free. It’s…
Menu Plan Monday ~ March 14, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas. This is going to be another one of “those weeks”. I’ll spare you the details but as you’ll see from the scanty menu, this will be a busy one. Monday: Corn Crab Bisque Soup homemade rolls Tuesday: beans (I soaked pinto beans Sunday night and will cook in crockpot…
40 days…
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent. This evening, David and I attended church and received the imposition of ashes. I signed up for an online Lenten-themed Bible reading this morning. Last year I gave up negative people for Lent. This year my main focus is a little more complex and…
Happy Mardi Gras!
One of these days I WILL be in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I want to see the parades, experience the exuberance, and live the tradition. In the meantime I live vicariously through my friends who are there and videos like this one from the 50’s: And this from last year: I listen to music…

Menu Plan Monday ~ March 7, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas. I’m so glad last week is over and I’m determined that this one will be better. Among other *events*, last Thursday evening our son was riding bikes with friends and the front wheel came off. He chipped his two top front teeth and has numerous abrasions. Overall he was…
The best laid plans…
Remember what I said yesterday about my plans for today? Yeah, well. After a long and stressful day with my mom at the neurosurgeon’s office in the city, I arrived back in town just in time to attend the Red Cross fund raiser. I called David to let him know I was on my way…
Busy, busy…
Yesterday I picked up my daughter at 8:30 a.m. (yeah, you read that right – A.M.!) and we headed to the state capitol for a rally. It was interesting and a lot of fun. Plus, we got to *meet* some people we had previously only known via Facebook. I’ll post pictures and more about the…
