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…
An Ordinary Life
Maybe it’s just me – I readily admit that I’m nosy – but I find it interesting to hear how other people spend their days, particularly women at home. People often ask what I *do* and my best answer is that I’m not sure but it takes all day. I decided to think back on…

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

My Newsletter…
Six years ago, for reasons I cannot recall, I began writing a monthly newsletter. As of the time of this posting I have 264 subscribers (I had to go look as it isn’t something I keep up with), including some of you who read this blog. If you are a subscriber, you can just skip…
Menu Plan Monday and the Week Ahead…
This is going to be a different sort of week so I won’t have much of a menu plan. David is out of town until late Tuesday, I have choir rehearsal Wednesday evening, and we are attending a Red Cross fund raising dinner on Thursday. I’m going to take advantage of a week in which…
