Yellow is a star, the sun, sometimes even the moon. Yellow is everywhere, every season, every day. Yellow is warmth, happiness, fun and friendship. Yellow is my dining room, the lights that illuminate my house, the flowers I find in my yard, spices and food I eat, and the accents I see in my clothes.…
I just feel like ranting. I’m facing mounds of paper that need to be organized and I hate it. Bills, notices, and don’t get me started on the medical paperwork connected to Obamacare. I Love Trees! I just went out and bought another box of file folders to organize all this paper and it made…
I have an Eggplant fetish. No one else in my house likes it but I just can’t get enough of it. Stir fried Eggplant with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, lots of garlic and red pepper flakes. Lots of basil too, a little oregano and some black pepper. Mmmm… 1 cup of cubed or cooked Eggplant has…

How can carrots be purple on the outside and yellow on the inside? Not by photoshop, someone actually grew these and gave them to us. Smells like carrots, tastes like carrots, but looks like? Why are some orange inside and some yellow? I guess I’ll have to ask the gardener. Meanwhile, inside the basement…
Where have I been; in a cave, under a rock or in an igloo? Temperatures in the single digits keep the door closed. Howling wind and creaking windows cause me to pull the blankets closer as I mindlessly challenge myself at solitaire, or watch Netflix. Am I a bear in hibernation? This winter is no worse…
Happiness for me comes from loving my family, seeing beauty in nature, and creating joyful moments to share together. A warm home with pets, a bit of travel, and growing old together make my happiness complete.
There are a lot of things that we can share with others as we go through life that might be of value to someone. My philosophy is that it’s good for the soul to share what you care about, what is valuable to you. One way or another I believe we are all here to…
Obviously we all know what’s coming – Mother’s day. It’s that wonderful day of the year that we shower our mothers with cards, flowers, candy or other gifts in an effort to show our appreciation for her years of love, sacrifice, devotion and caring. Some people might look forward to celebrating this day, and others may…
