I love crispy chicken wings. I could sit and plow through a bucket of them in no time. They are the part of the chicken with the most skin to…
I remember going with my mother to Garage Sales, Yard Sales, Rummage Sales. They were just part of life.
We were far from wealthy, barely even solvent, but we were never in real need as far as I knew. My parents did well to not make me feel we were any less than normal and I thank them for that.
I am not superstitious. Not a bit. I don’t even say “Bless You” when someone sneezes. I ignore the action just as a polite person should when someone coughs or a bodily function is made audible. And when I myself do, I say “Excuse Me”, just as if I belched, farted or made some other odd noise that may have disturbed someone. But I don’t believe my soul has left my body when I sneezed, not even for a moment.
This past weekend I was out on my weekly hunt for treasures and before I could make it to my planned destination, I blew my budget at my favorite consignment shop on shoes.
Now that doesn’t happen often. Having size 9 1/2 wide feet has been a curse most of my life. I have vague memories of having an 8 1/2 wide size but that quickly blew up into 9 then 9 1/2, even 10 and once 11 during a growth spurt, that thankfully I walked right out of them (pun intended) as those shiny orange boats, stayed on the floor.

I never thought that at 60 I would just now finally be learning how to use Stainless Steel cookware. I admit that I never really cared about cookware. I liked…
I never liked having dinner on the first date. If it turns out that he is someone you realize you don't want as a companion, your time together is less.…
One of the reasons I decided to start my Blog was to gloat about some great thrift shops buys. This weekend I found some yummy things again. At Revived I…
The last remaining member Skip Haynes of Aliotta Haynes and Jeremiah has died. I was stunned to hear this. The last? I had missed the passing of the others.
I had of course, like all Chicago residents loved the song Lake Shore Drive. But it was more special to me as at 21 I was a carefree young woman and traveling in California with good friends and happened to meet the band in Malibu.
Funny how easy it is to fall into a loss for words when I sit down to write. I wanted to start a blog for a long time.
I started keeping a diary when I left home at 18 after a fight with my mother. I kept a diary almost continuously through most of my first marriage, likely stopping due to extreme boredom, then picking up again when I left him.
