*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* This is my Blog…and I can write about anything I want….. And I want to talk about rocks….. I like rocks….. I’ve always liked rocks….. Even when I was little…I liked rocks….. …..my Father liked rocks too….. We were always picking up precious rocks…and showing them to each other….. Maybe I inherited my love of all kinds of rocks from my Dad….. I’m looking at an assortment of rocks right now…next to my…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s not really like the progression from a cocoon to a butterfly….. I don’t think a well-aged Patrice could ever be confused with a lilting fluttery butterfly….. It’s not really anything as sophisticated as Kafka…or Pygmalion…or Midas….. …..nothing that high-brow or sophisticated….. But it’s a metamorphosis none the less….. The migratory patterns from one Patrice to another…while constant and inevitable…becomes painfully evident and totally unavoidable….. Patrice’s devolution has been coming on for awhile…and…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Don’t get me wrong…I Love Thanksgiving Day…and Everything it brings to the Table….. It’s a Holiday with the Best of the Family at its Heart….. But the Day After…now that’s Heaven….. No rushing…No cleaning…No cooking…No baking…No aching back and feet….. …..(and for the most part the dishes are “mostly” washed and put away)…(mostly)….. I’ve always enjoyed the crunchy…semi-burned…thoroughly unpresentable nibbles that never make it to the serving tray…and they’re unceremoniously left behind in…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s here….. Halloween is a fun Holiday…and I’ve discovered I can get a lot done during this twenty-four hour period of time….. It probably because of the excessive levels of sugar spinning through my metabolism….. It’s an annual internal battle that I have with myself….. Do I eat the Trick or Treat candy?………….or Don’t I?….. During August and September…I always say that I am NOT going to over-do the refined sugar intake (again)……..
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* But we did it….. One more Halloween Hunt Club Tea under our belt….. There were about forty people at our Guest Hunt event last Saturday….. I believe a good time was had by all…but honestly…I’m still cross-eyed tired….. But we got everything down to the host’s ranch ahead of time in the morning….. We were set up before the field came back in….. I think they got on a coyote run…but I’m really…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Today my daughters and I are in a whir…baking and cooking….. Tomorrow is our Halloween Tea at a local ranch where we Fox Hunt….. It’s a Guest Hunt…so there should be more riders and guests than usual…maybe around forty….. …..it’s a little hard to estimate the amount of food to prepare and bring….. …..so it’s better to over-do rather than under-do………….too little food & drink is just a bummer….. We’re going to have…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Sunny sub-tropical Florida is known for its beaches…resorts…beautiful sunrises over the Atlantic…and equally gorgeous sunsets in the Gulf….. The peripheral edges of the state…(and Disney World)…are idilic vacation destinations for lots of tourists….. Those of us who live here year round…(Not at Cinderella’s castle…or in a beach cabana)…we live in the interior of the state…at various elevations…usually marginally above sea level….. …..(I think we’re at about thirty-five feet above sea level here)….. We…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I take electricity very seriously….. I think we all should….. Our house was built in 1980…we’ve lived here since 1992….. All the time we’ve been here…I’ve had a deep-seated uneasiness about its electrical wiring….. There are outlets that don’t work…some have never worked…some recently decided not to work…some work sometimes…and not other times….. …..it’s a craps roll….. If you put the blender on in the kitchen…(and you have Christmas tree lights on)…then the…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I know I’ve done at least one post in the past about peanuts….. …..particularly…boiled peanuts….. But because they’re so good…I thought they warranted another go-round….. …..I love those slimy little things…they’re addictive….. My northern Ohio relatives think I’m crazy…(for a lot of different reasons)…but specifically regarding the boiling of raw green peanuts….. They just don’t get the wonderfulness that is the boiling of a peanut…and the savoring of its innards….. It’s a Southern-thing…
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Adulthood?….. It’s over-rated….. …..and I don’t like it….. Having a driver’s license is convenient…and being of drinking age is certainly a plus….. …..but the rest of it(?)………….you can have it….. And you’re expected to be responsible(!?!)….. Plus let’s not talk about the effects of gravity…I mean…it has its perks…(like not flying off into space)….. …..right now I really can’t think of anything else it’s good for….. But those of us who are aging…(and…
