Heck. 6 kids, parents, and the beagle in a Chevy station wagon. That would mean me and the dog in the way-back facing the back door, watching the traffic behind us. From Connecticut to Mt. Desert Island, Maine. Seat belt? What’s that?

I know..... I mean, I don’t know Johnson County. I don’t even know Kansas really. I just know people are so uneducated, voting against their own self-interest and not even for the greater good, but to line the pockets of greedy criminals. And it sickens me. And so many states are full of so many of them. And I’m just…

I say, we put a fence around Kansas, with a one time exit.

My Fiat500c kind of has a place in front for a plate, but after I had to replace the front bumper after it was destroyed after debrie from a pickup truck decided to take it out, I never put it back. And I’ve never been stopped about it. It is required in my. state. No one curr.

Cool. We started building a vacation rental/someday retirement house on Mt. Desert Island. Maine is amazing, I never could understand people who retire to places that have bugs 365 days a year. Of course, with my luck, I start right before a world pandemic, Great Depression take 2, electric boogaloo.... we’ll see if I…

So Pretty! That is a holiday I can get behind!

How much is this, and where is it available?

That is so lovely! I want it.

I’m freaking allergic to allium. 

I remember back in high school driver’s ed, (40$ and 1 credit) when they took the class out and taught us how to adjust the height of the beams against the building, the whole bulb would change angle with the twist of a screw driver. Side to side, up and down. That was back in the day when I, too, would give a…

These are typical Friday night supper at our house. Managable. Human-size. Not one of those monstrosities pictured above.

I am biting at the bit to get my EV. I live in Connecticut, which is waging a battle for/against tolls on our highways. NY, Mass, Vermont, NH, Maine, NJ, all have toll roads. But CT does not. Our roads/bridges suck. And tolls would help, and CT is traveled by people coming from out of New England heading North for…

True story. Sara Lee is a real person, who has a daughter. Daughter had twins. I made quilts for Sara Lee’s granddaughters! So cool to learn that she was a real person, and not an Aunt Jemima, or a Betty Crocker.

My stomach actually hurts.

s/he’s knighting. Let them be.

2 nights ago, Chinese delivery came to the door with a 22$ delivery. We chatted about the weather as she gave me the receipt to sign, and I wrote in a 10$ tip, she was happy the bad weather hadn’t gotten here yet, she said she drives 7 days a week. . I told her I was sorry I didn’t have cash for her, but showed her on…

Murphy’s my congressman. His staff is just as on as he is when I call the office, they let me wail into the phone for as long as I need to. They listen, and take notes, and then I get a letter from Chris answering all my questions that isn’t a form letter back. He’s great.

That is EVERY Friday night in our house. That is Friday night supper. Minus the wine, which I find sour, unless it’s good champagne. A good Scotch, some olives, salami, a nice baguette, 2 or 3 cheeses, peach or plums, some fig jam. The evening is complete.

I always add a yolk or two to my chicken soup, not like it is in raman noodles, but mixed in just so I know it’s there.

My off-the-boat Polish grandmother would use potato starch to iron shirts. I don’t know how she got it for ironing, soaking potatoes before she put them in the home made chicken soup?
