Warning: Whirlwind Approaching!

A whirlwind called “The Holidays”. No matter how you prepare, what you make ahead, the last few days before whatever holiday is approaching are a whirlwind. Frayed nerves, lots of coffee, endless list reading and checking off of completed items. Wondering if you have forgotten something or someone. Remembering how you promised your little neice [...]

You never want to hear those words come out of your doctor’s mouth. But that is a quote from Husband’s neurosurgeon. A surgery that should take 30-45 minutes lasted about 1 and 1/2 hours. The doctor had told us going it it might take longer than usual because he was going to have to “dig [...]
Homemade Kumquat Liqueur

I always buy kumquats this time of year.
Its a nostalgia thing on my part. My Momma Tom (my mom’s mom) had a kumquat bush at her house and we would eat them until we couldnt eat another. They tasted much better then I think. It could be that we never washed them first. Everything is [...]

Yep…this is year 20 for us. I am not EVEN kidding. We have been at it that long. TWENTY years. WOW. That sounds amazing even to me and I have been here almost every day! This is a video I found on youtube. Perfect response to all the jabbing we have endured over the years. [...]

Husband’s surgery has been rescheduled. He is one sick puppy. He started getting a sore throat a couple of days ago and it is getting worse instead of better. We are headed out this morning (in the freezing cold with a change of rain/snow~BRRRRR) to the doctor to get a CBC and throat culture to [...]
