Extreme Coffee Experience
My mom had her final physical therapy appointment this morning. She has had another amazing recovery in 4 weeks from a very painful episode of sciatica and bursitis. As we have driven back and forth, we noticed a particular drive through coffee shop always had a huge line. We thought we should try the drinks […]
Friendsgiving
The other day when my mom was at physical therapy, her therapist told us about the “Friendsgiving” she had. She bought a house earlier this year and was excited to have room to host a Thanksgiving dinner for her friends. She said it was a great success. Everyone brought different foods and had a great […]
Young Entrepreneurs
For the past week, I have been helping my sister get her toffee ready to bring to “Choctoberfest”. She brought her products to a chocolate festival in the spring and decided to participate in this one as well. It was a lot of work getting ready, but the day itself was a lot of fun. […]
Caring Swimmers
One of the ladies from my aqua aerobics class is having a “big birthday”, so another woman hosted a party for her today. I asked if I could bring anything and the birthday girl requested truffles. I had brought some to a gathering a few months ago. So, I got busy yesterday making them. I […]
De-seeding Cucumbers
My mom is not supposed to eat seeds and nuts as it may encourage the diverticulitis, so if I serve her fresh veggies, I make sure to de-seed them. Today we stopped at Subway.

Cookie Thief
This afternoon when my mom, her friend, and I went to lunch, we stood in line behind a woman who was ordering. She was holding a baby and her daughter, who was about 3 years old, was to the side and behind holding the stroller. There were packages of giant cookies about eye level to […]
Over the Migraine
The other day, I felt a migraine coming on. I knew I had done it to myself by eating foods that I shouldn’t. I was very careful that day and treated it best I could, expecting to feel better yesterday. However, the headache was still there in the background. I had one more day of […]
The Magic Refrigerator
We have a magic refrigerator. We went up to the cabin a few days ago and pretty much emptied it out, bringing the food with us. When we returned this evening, the refrigerator was completely full of fresh fruits and vegetables. My brother has purchased a subscription for each of my parent’s to receive a […]
Food Provided
This evening as I was cooking dinner, I noticed some leftover sandwiches from the weekend. I didn’t realize they were in there. I figured they would be good for tomorrow’s lunch. However, as I went to take the casserole out of the oven, it slipped out of my hands and landed face down on the […]

My sister has been struggling trying to find a new job and getting very discouraged. Many people have been encouraging her to start her own business selling her amazing coffee toffee. She finally decided to pursue the idea and has been working day and night for weeks to prepare for her first big event. She, […]
