Peanut Butter Pie
My son was out and about today and asked if he could stop by. So, he and his girlfriend came over when we got back from church. He returned a container of mine. And like any good friend, he didn’t return it empty. They had made peanut butter cup pie and shared some with us. […]
Community Picnic
This evening was the annual community picnic. I was happy that my mom wanted to go and had the energy to do so. She talked with a couple friends who she hadn’t visited with in a very long time. And we met some new people as well. We were afraid that it would rain on […]
Key Lime Pie
My mom receives recipes in her email on a regular basis. The other day it included a recipe for key lime pie. She mentioned it to me and my sister. She told us that her father loved key lime pie, but even as a baker, he never made one. They did, however, make it to […]
Fun Family Fourth

Food with Family and Friends
Things were pretty hectic around here at the time of both my sisters’ birthdays. So we decided that we needed to have a sister outing. Today we met up for lunch at a fancy fondue restaurant. We had fun dipping in the cheese and cooking pieces of meat in the broth. It was nice to […]
Better
I have been dragging the last couple of days – physically, mentally, energetically. Perhaps it’s coming off the holidays. Perhaps I’ve been neglecting to do what I need to take care of myself. I suppose that’s why it seems necessary to make a new year’s resolution. In any case, I resolved to get my diet […]
