Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
It’s somehow astonishing to think that this Fall it will be two years since Paul died. It took me almost a year to use the word “died†instead of “passingâ€. The first year I learned that he did not pass but that he died and it was all so very final. And at the same... Continue Reading →
When does your week end and when does your week begin? I suppose I can say Sunday or Monday, Monday being the wisest choice. After all, Saturdays and Sundays are supposed to be “off†days despite the fact that many of us work on weekends. I had a tough week. It began early on with... Continue Reading →
I wanted to title this post, I Picked From the Tree of Life, but right now my tree is all about Friendship. My true blue friend, Dawn, called me today and I told her that I was feeling down about a loyalty issue with someone I considered a good friend. She gave me the inspiration... Continue Reading →
This Memorial holiday weekend was spent catching up on me time! I finished a project sanding and staining a couch & chair for my covered patio. I read a chapter in a book I am determined to finish.

Based on a recipe I have for 3 ingredient energy bars, I gave a traditional rum ball recipe some thought. How could I incorporate my favorite cookie to replace the vanilla wafers? How could I add a fruit of some kind? And, better yet, replace rum for a better flavor? Well, this is my creation... Continue Reading →
I do not care for zucchini bread, probably because I just do not like nutmeg. Sorry, it is a deterrent when it comes to those zucchini breads, carrot cake and pumpkin pie. NO thank you. In order to determine a way to use up a boat load of yellow squash I was the recipient of... Continue Reading →
