The Buzzz!!
The buzz word this week is “broken.” Points and counterpoints were the order of the day but poking the hornet’s nest will nearly always get a stinging response. Buzzy bees in the know are buzzing that sky high and triple wide could mean another dip into the honey jar. The low humm says that playing […]
Beach TV
If there is one thing I like better than goats, it’s Beach TV, or infomercials, or perhaps the wax they put around cheese. I’ve recently cut the cable cord, which inadvertently led to the epiphany that I can get Beach TV on my new Roku device. Hallelujah. The glory of twenty-four hours of beach commercials […]

The Jetsons
We have come a long way in technology since I was a little girl. We, who have lived through the advancements stand amazed at how fast it seems to have taken the world. I remember studying computer programing in the 1980’s at the beginning of the home computer craze. Now, most homes have at least […]
Lemon Poppy Seed Bread
I absolutely love anything lemon. It is probably the hardest flavor, in sweetened form, for me to resist. This recipe has such a beautiful lemon taste, and the pudding mix makes it incredibly moist. Once cooled, the second loaf will freeze well for later, if you don’t eat it first. Ingredients: 1 pkg lemon cake […]
