I heard about a surprise birthday party someone had for their spouse and it sounded like a great idea…so I began to think about planning one for a friend who turns 70 soon. The invitees would represent each decade of my friend’s life: his best friend during his first 10 years, his closest buddy during… Continue reading Where Are Those Old Friends?
I had forgotten how nice it is to have someone in your house who cooks. Relatives are visiting and she actually knows how to turn the oven on and how to adjust the burners. Sounds simple enough, but when you haven’t operated something very often, the exact sequence of what to do next can be… Continue reading Give Me a Cook!

Since the annual Christmas Monster that Swallowed the Western World now hits stores on the day after Halloween, Thanksgiving, with no costumes and no presents, has been largely ignored. For that reason, as the holiday is fast approaching, you may have given no thought to what you…
I find it amazing how humans can get along because of the differences in our general makeup.

How often do we ask someone we have just met: “What do you do?

I’ve spent half my life looking for an effective diet plan that doesn’t require any real willpower, and now the search is over. Introducing…the SCAT plan! Inspiration came to me just as it did to Sir Isaac Newton: an apple fell on my head. OK, it wasn’t exactly an…
I couldn’t resist this lonely leaf giving its last burst of color in defiance of winter. It shone brightly in the morning sun…quite an eye catcher. https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/ #FavFotoFriday
