So kinda cool proud nerd fun geek moment. During Quarantine I found out about #thesketchbookproject through one of the blogs I follow. I'm no artist, but I figured, it's lockdown, it'll give me a little goal, why not. Today I received word that my sketchbook has been digitized. What makes this project special for me...

I'm collecting your photos from the pandemic. 1-2 photos of that it meant TO YOU. I want to do a published book - giving FULL PHOTO CREDIT to any participant - I don't want profits, I don't want ANYTHING. I just went searching for a book to see if anyone recorded this and didn't find... Continue Reading →

Food has a way of marking time. Sandwiches have a way of putting bookends on it. It was elementary school when I entered my “super duper” into the Kraft “make Your best sandwich” contest.

TGIF Folks. As the men of this house made their way out of the house this morning, it was my ONE JOB (as in, you had ONE JOB today) to get a few gardening supplies and place them by the back door so we could do a few projects this weekend. Nay, sayeth the World.... Continue Reading →

Twelve years ago this month, this photo was taken with my mom and her mother, Grandma Pinky. Grandma lived in a (say it like Roseanne Roseannadanna) teensy, tiny, itsy, bitsy little town in Pennsylvania. She was the family "keeper of the cornerstone recipes" ....halupki (cabbage rolls), pierogi (try them!), but her first love in the... Continue Reading →

You broke one of your favorite toys. I'm not quite sure the whole story - but it's an "Energize Dragon" from the Transformer Rescue Bot Bumblebee Dinosaur something. So then I took it and promised I could fix it, but the screws are tiny, I already lost one and the split in the wing has... Continue Reading →

What did you grow up eating? The daughter of two Yankees, I was born in the South and until college, never had a chicken fried steak and I still remember freaking "the truck" out when I saw and was asked to consume, an okra pod. That said, we grew up with a fair mix of... Continue Reading →

Is anyone else getting more observant as this time wears on? It's nearly as if staying in your own home's bubble sucks you into pondering things that you never had time for before. Some days I feel that I should be more effective with this, acting on my thoughts instead of just indulging them. But... Continue Reading →
