turkeys, nutcrackers, and rock stars
First, let me wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. There is so much to be thankful for, especially this year as we reflect on all that has happened in our neck of the woods. I am grateful for the walls and roof of our home, with full power restored to cook a turkey and all the trimmings. I a...

I was amazed at the difference in my post menopausal weight when I eliminated Coke. I only had one can a day, but I too replaced it with water and mineral water (with a splash of real fruit juice...mmmmm refreshing). I think little steps like that make us feel like we can exert some control and it works wonders. Take a brisk spot of exercise 4 days a week if you can as well. I found the addition of exercise a plus. My 24 year old son tells me I am finding energy I never knew I had.
I wish you well in your efforts.

Hi Jocelyn!
LONG time....

Historic Writing Fluid: Fermented Pokeberry Juice
My inky jaunt into our American past began last month with the admiration of a boldly colored, berry-laden mystery plant in the garden of my son and daughter-in-law. As Amy and I were admiring this tall, magenta-tinged interloper, Eli went online to find out what it might be. Soon he had the inf...

sweet home of the week: ruby's place
So, I didn't do a "sweet home of the week" earlier this week, due to technical difficulties. With my brain. But I'm here now, and instead of a "gal friday" post (more difficulties), I'm doing a "sweet home" post... But this home--oh, it's so, so awesome. It's the home of Ruby and company, ...
Thanks so much for letting me know you read the article. I do hope you will try soldering and if you have any questions along the way please email me. I would be happy to help you out. I think the foamcore is just so much easier to work with than glass. : )
Kind regards,
Lisa
