Thanksgiving 2010

November 28, 2010

Good Morning, The big meal was three days ago and the remnants of it still remain as refrigerator storage containers of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, yams, ambrosia salad, cranberries and a plethora of other food dishes, enough to have the meal all over again.  Then of course there are the desserts waiting in the wings, like [...]

10lbs of Potatoes

November 20, 2010

Good Morning, My mother Leona’s recipes when using potatoes always seemed to start out with 10lbs of potatoes.  Whether it was Potato Salad, Potato Soup or Mashed Potatoes it was always 10lbs.  It could have been from how she was raised in a family of 10.  She being one of eight brothers and sisters living [...]

Writer’s Block

November 14, 2010

Good Morning, It has been over a month since I have posted something on my blog or written a letter to the kids.  One would think that with so much going on in my life right now, there would be plenty to write about.  Well I suppose there is lots of fodder for the creative, [...]

October 10, 2010

Good Morning, It was just a little after three in the afternoon while coming down Recker Road and a little over a mile from home when from under the front of the black 2006 Scion Xb, there came a sound as if a large snake had decided to commit suicide by jumping into the path [...]

September 26, 2010

Good Morning, The arrival of a grandchild is a pretty special event, but what makes it so special from any other birth?  Maybe it could be the joy of seeing a new life come into this world, while in itself is a miracle to even the harshest of skeptics, can still be shared with all [...]

September 11, 2010

Some may consider this one just the opinion on a senior citizen.  I hope the questions make you think about where we are going.  Make no mistake, I love this country and I believe we can be better than we are.  All of us. Good Morning, I’m sitting here waiting for Joe, my son-in-law to [...]

Thoughts Become Us

September 5, 2010

Good Morning, “Am I not responsible for the Thoughts that fill my head? Who then can I blame for all the Thoughts that have caused me pain, and shame; Have I no choice of Thought to choose, no matter where or when they came; Yes, indeed, it is Me, who said this Thought is to [...]

Three Score & Ten

August 29, 2010

Good Morning, Last Saturday night while out with Jeanie and friends, I was fortunate enough to meet an older couple that was celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary.  70 years!!! Are you kidding me??  During the evening I had seen them on the dance floor (gentle slow dancing) several times while holding each other close.  Thinking [...]

To Hoard or Not To Hoard

August 22, 2010

Good Morning, For some time now and not just after I finished watching an episode of “Hoarders” last week, I have questioned if I have those tendencies.  After all, I do not seem to mind some clutter all that much, although I also appreciate organization to where I can find things when I need them.  [...]

Evaluate, Objectify, Optimize

August 8, 2010

Good Morning, This week I applied for Medicare parts A & B and also decided to “Out” and start taking Social Security.  After paying into the system for roughly 50 years, I figured I better get a piece of it before congress finds a way of wheedling us out of it for some greater altruistic [...]
