TToT – Celebrations All Week!
I can’t even formulate a coherent introduction this week. I am just SO glad that school has finally ended and it is summertime! And so without further ado, let me dive right in with that as my first item of Thankful. It’s summertime! Pretty thankful for great music, too. Always. Two great versions of…
When Lacking a Topic, Find One of Those Listy Things…
Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a sucker for a quiz, a personality inventory, a list of collected facts…I can’t pass them by. And so, since my Rotten Cats story isn’t quite finished, I will stall with what I hope will be a mildly interesting and entertaining list of things about me.…
TToT – Bring on Summer!
Last week I started a second TToT and then…life happened. Always. I decided to just grab the items I had on there and bring them along to this week’s list. So let’s just get right to business… It came to my attention last weekend that the Fab Hub did not get nearly enough of a…
Happy Birthday, Ten Things of Thankful!
The Ten Things of Thankful weekend blog hop is celebrating its first(ish) birthday! I’ve not been part of it for the whole year, but discovered it some months ago through Dyanne’s blog. How I discovered Dyanne? Can’t remember! I think through her comments on someone else’s blog. But that’s the whole cool thing about my…
A Message
I had an overwhelming experience today. I’ve been beyond frustrated lately. Frustrated and angry and upset, really, because I just want this long period of … argh … to come to an end. Or if not an end, then just a pathway toward an end. That’s all. My funk is so thick right now that…
On Memorial Day
It Is the Soldier It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer…
TToT – How is May Not Over Yet???
Is it really still May? This has been like the never-ending month. I suppose it’s all just part of the never-ending winter followed by the never-ending second semester. Late Easter and early Memorial Day make for a long fourth quarter of the school year. And we are all so ready for school to be over.…
TToT – Still Here Living Life
I’m not sure how it happened, exactly, but it’s been two weeks since I posted anything. Intentional? Not really. I guess we’ve just been busy living life and trying to wind down this school year. This interminably long and drawn out school year, thank you very much Winter From Hell. But we’re getting there –…
TToT – Good Deals
It’s spring time. Finally. With spring comes the draw of the mountain sanctuary and thus, the need for new hiking boots. Last weekend, the Hub, Zilla, and I took a lovely Sunday drive to an outlet mall near us to check out the boot store. Not only did we enjoy a beautiful afternoon drive, but…
Soup of the Week – Matzah Ball Soup
OK, so Passover is…over. But someone asked if I would be posting the recipe for our matzah ball soup, so I wanted to toss it up here because it was, after all, last week’s featured soup here. If you ask me, matzah ball soup does not have to wait for Passover – it’s just good…
