I recently met a woman who has an “off the grid” type of house. She’s a very nice lady, and she invited me to join her for tea at her place. I didn’t realize when I accepted the offer the type of house she had – it was a complete surprise to me. She lived [...]

Today I decided to try a new recipe in my bread machine. It included oats, wheat flour, and overripe bananas. I had three overripe bananas and I didn’t feel like making my usual (but yummy) banana bread, so I looked in my bread machine cookbook and found the recipe. I measured and poured, and started [...]

I can remember when I took Statistics in college. The professor was very interesting and used a lot of visual aides and hands on examples. One of the great things about him was that he had written the text that we were using, so he knew exactly what he wanted to teach. He put everything [...]

I was very disappointed when I heard that the MSMoney software that I use to keep track of my finances was going to stop producing new versions and stop supporting the current ones.

One of the things that really aggravates me is how so many credit cards send out balance transfer offers, suggesting that you use the checks for debt consolidation.

I wanted to buy some carrot cake to serve for dessert for Easter Sunday, but when I went to the grocery store they were all sold out. I guess everyone had the same idea! I went to Wal-Mart to buy some, but they had decorated theirs so incredibly ugly I just couldn’t stand the thought [...]

Erica was telling me that she spent last weekend with her new boyfriend Ray at his weekend cottage. She said that he had a wonderful Swim Spa in a room off of the master bedroom that was amazing. She said that in addition to having the traditional water jets that give you bubbles and a massage, [...]

If someone pulled an April Fool’s Day trick on me today, it must have been so good that I still haven’t noticed it! I was so busy I didn’t bother trying to play any tricks, either. Today is the birthday of my dear Grandma Bobbie, who passed away in 1987. I miss her dearly! Happy [...]
