Yesterday my mom and I drove to Tulsa. My sister-in-law had told us about “Fleet Feet”, a store specializing in athletic shoes, as well as inserts to help correct foot problems. She had finally convinced my brother to give it a try and he was amazed at how much it helped. Mom and I decided…
French Friday…
I’m going to Tulsa with my mom today and meeting up with my sister-in-law for lunch, some shopping and then a quick hello to the niece and nephew after school before heading back home. With little time for a well-thought-out French Friday post, I decided to let the pros handle it for me. Here are…
Guest Post Friday – Deviled Egg
The Deviled Egg by Christine Achille I have a confession to make: I don’t cook and I don’t want to learn. That having been said, I do love to eat. I moved to the French Quarter and promptly gained twenty pounds. I don’t care. I have the some of the best chefs in the…
True friendship…
I heard the U.P.S. truck pulling out of our driveway and went downstairs to see what had been delivered. I had ordered some Community Coffee the other day so I figured that’s what it was. Either that or David had found more pirate jewelry on eBay. I was, instead, surprised to see a package with…
Serving others…
This past Saturday, 9/11, I posted a bit about the National Day of Service and Remembrance on my “Well-Groomed Hippie” blog.

Memory Lane Monday…Jergens Lotion
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. From blog photos I’m sure I’m only one of many for whom the cherry-almond scent of Jergens lotion brings back memories of their grandmothers. I had the privilege of growing up next door to one of my grandmas and spending huge amounts of time in her home. There are…
Menu Plan Monday ~ September 13, 2010
Click here for more menu ideas! I am going to go ahead and admit it. I miss chicken! We’ve been eating mostly vegetarian since last November or December and all vegetarian (well, except for very occasional seafood) for over two months. I don’t mind, for the most part, but I’m running out of ideas. Help. …
A Tribute to the 9/11 Firefighters…
We were each touched in different ways by the tragedy of September 11, 2001. We all remember exactly what we were doing when we first heard the news and I’m sure most of us spent hours in front of the television watching in absolute horror. I recall nearly jumping out of my skin at loud…
