I have a troll standing on my shoulder telling me I don’t know enough, I’m not educated enough. This is not a cute little troll like we bought as kids. This is a mean, ugly, Three Billy Goats Gruff troll. We all have trolls who give us messages like this. They create...

I’ve always felt like breast cancer got too much attention in October. Why do we focus so much on one type of cancer when there are so many out there? Then last November I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It didn’t change my feelings about the month of October. I...

Early Sunday morning our granddaughter was born. Carrie Mikaela Bloom was born on Sunday, October 7th at 12:24 am. A few weeks before Charlie and Jessica had asked me if I wanted to be in the delivery room. I didn’t want to be in the delivery room for the birth of my...

I updated last week’s post, so it would have the same units of measure that were on Mike’s handwritten recipe. As I have looked at past posts I’ve seen other mistakes. I was going to go back and make corrections but have never made the time to do it. This is when...

This post has been edited because I had the wrong units of tomatoes from the recipe. That’s what I get for trying to write from memory when I could have double checked the recipe. Last week I was inspired to post the following on FaceBook after changing the...

In the aftermath of radiation (yes, I’m finished) and the water crisis (it was fixed within a week) I’m celebrating the regrowth of my eyebrows and eyelashes. Radiation went smoothly with some mild side effects the worst one being fatigue. I just don’t have the energy...
