First Freeze

I was going to take some time to recharge this weekend and play around with zucchini bread recipes but then of course time got away from me per usual. I spent a great Sunday with my husband just being together and enjoying the great weather, it was blue skies, sunny and not too smoky, which […]

Zucchini Bread Comparisons

When I went to work on Wednesday, I brought some of the zucchini bread I made following my Grandma’s recipe and it went over pretty well. Today my co-worker Reagan brought in some of the zucchini bread her Nana made for her and it was like seeing in real life the bread that I was […]

How do you forgive?

After working 50+ hours last week, you would’ve thought that on Friday night I would collapse into bed that night and sleep soundly, but I didn’t sleep well and I think it was because I had this post rolling around in my head. A few weeks ago my husband got a call from his brother […]

Just a little fun

Sometimes I think my posts can get a little heavy, not that there’s anything wrong with that because it’s what I’m feeling at that time and I’ve learned if I don’t get my thoughts and feelings out it’s not good for my mental health. Because of that I thought I would just share a picture […]

Thoughts for a quiet Sunday

As a little girl there was no one more important to me than my grandparents. I loved them both so much. I spent a lot of time with them especially after my little brother was diagnosed with cancer and then after my parents got divorced my brother and I spent time not only during the […]

Around the corner

NOTE: I started this post in late August. How fast the last 5 months have gone.♥ It was a long and busy summer. I didn’t get a chance to post much as I was wrapped up in work and the long, warm days like everyone else. But as the days become shorter every day, the […]

Choices

There have been a lot of changes in the last few months and as usual life moves much faster that I could ever imagine. My son and his girlfriend of 7 years gave birth to their first child, a much anticipated baby girl, in October. I didn’t really think I could love any one human […]

Coffee in the mornings

Lately the days are becoming a little cooler in the morning and my walk to work is dropping into the 50’s so I’ve been drinking coffee in the mornings. Is it because the light is changing and the sun coming up later? Who knows, but it brought up an interesting conversation at work because I […]

Frustration…

How do you deal with being frustrated? I probably don’t deal with it the best way, I tend to hold everything in and get short in my answers. Again this is one of those situations where it is probably better to go straight to the person and put everything out there but I don’t think […]

Quiet evening

After a long day of work I wasn’t really into making anything for dinner, so it was leftovers or a sandwich. I’ve never been one for leftovers, maybe it was all the time we spent with my grandparents when I was growing up and my Grandma could make one dinner last for much longer than […]
