Fish Friday again! Probably with green beans tonight. And some kind of dessert: cookies or ice cream or a mug cake…

I typically start the day with honey lemon tea (Tim Hortons brand) and finish with chamomile (Celestial Seasonings honey vanilla chamomile – notice the repetition of honey as flavouring!). In between, I have various herbal teas and a few decaf black to choose from. Most of my tea collection is from Celestial Seasonings, but I could start using…[Read more]

I should look at getting cards ready for the mail…

We see more spiders as fall begins, but nothing much lately. As long as they’re small and travel alone, I’m not concerned. They’re just looking for a warm place, which I totally understand!

Ha! My phone keyboard app insists I worry, not write. Actually, I do little worrying! 😉

It’s just past morning here. I did some worrying while waiting for the middle boy at his occupational therapy appt. Yay for writing time!

Laundry and dishes taken care of earlier this morning, plus fresh muffins made. (We love our homemade muffins!)

I’ve also texted a bit with a new friend, a guy!! 😁 I don’t seem to make friends with guys well…[Read more]

Go, KitKatKitty!

I liked it when I first got it, but I don’t recall rewatching it. I was usually more in the mood to watch Anne in Princess Diaries (and should have gotten Ella Enchanted too).

Any other Meryl Streep movies that are good? I can only think of her part in Mary Poppins Returns and an oldie, Kramer vs Kramer.

We had beans for Tuesday supper, and right now all three boys like them! Yay! Yummy with toast.

Wednesday will probably be soup, and I might remember to steam some broccoli while it’s fresh.

I have recently started calling shaving “trimming the forest.” There’s probably a more appropriate logging term but I don’t know it because my uncle was a tree feller, not me. When I have not trimmed for some time because no one is noticing my legs but me, I’d say it’s like a forest! 😉

Cassandra having a birthday recently makes me smile! Hope your day was great!

I get to celebrate with my oldest son next week when he comes a teen! Woo hoo!

There may be some confusion coming from the definition of love that he operates from. Love is acting in the best interests of the other person. It’s not in your best interest for his friends to hit on you, so if he wants to make his friends happy by letting them do whatever they want, it’s not loving to you. Nor to his friends, who need healthier…[Read more]

Yes! I got my library tech diploma after 3 yrs of hard work, because I went for it! I’m also working harder in my writing than before, and then I’ve got to figure out whether to self-publish or get help approaching publishers.

I’m also wanting there to be someone special, but we’ll see if that happens. I don’t think I’ll get everything I set…[Read more]

Funny enough, that’s not found in the Bible. It has a good ring to it in that we shouldn’t sit on our bottoms when there are things to be done, but Ben Franklin probably didn’t mean that God will only help us if we’re on top of things. God cheers for the underdog and the helpless and those whose made mistakes, thankfully, because I’ve been all of those.

I wouldn’t have an expensive coffee machine if I liked coffee at all, just a smaller and cheaper one.

I went with a Breville teamaker this year. I’d had a small one before that a friend gave away because she and her husband drank coffee instead. This one is larger (7 cup capacity) and excellent! Better tasting tea because it knows what temp the…[Read more]

Doing my part to make this an active place!

Chat, chat, chat… 😉

I have a computer hooked up to the TV when I stream. I use Prime Video at times, and Disney+ too. Most of the Prime use in my house is for the shipping, since online shopping was really helpful even before this year – local selection in the sizes and styles we need/want is poor. Hooray for oblige shopping! ☺️

Honesty, always. But with tact, not malice or ignorance of feelings.

I don’t have to say everything I think or feel. I can choose to keep things to myself so I don’t needlessly hurt. However, if the truth must be known for that person to make informed decisions – especially about changing their behaviour when it stinks – then keeping it to myself…[Read more]

I was just telling my boys recently that people don’t understand dogs, so they don’t know how to treat them. Like understanding that they may be barking because they are warning and protecting their territory.

Or that they will sniff other dogs because that’s how they get to know them! 😂
