Chorizo Spam

A couple of days ago I did a real thumbs down post on processed foods. Since then, Son #1 made one of his impromptu visits to a grocery store (without a list). He enjoys, now and then, just pushing a grocery cart around the store, seeing what he can see, and picking up what catches his eye. Then he... Sign in to see full entry.

The Dangers Of Buying And Eating Processed Foods

I think she is kin to her great-grandma: She tries something on, if she doesn't like it, she takes it off, throws it on the floor, and tries something else on, until she gets it right.

I Can't Believe What Didn't Happen To Me

It wasn't the fact that I fell headlong onto the sidewalk in front of our building landing prone on cement, though it was quite a shock that knocked the breath out of me.

Revelry In The Rain

Carnival Time in The French Quarter. It is Fat Tuesday in Nola (New Orleans). Some of my loved ones went down for Mardi Gras.

Ellipsis

Snow is forecast... again, and cold, oh so cold, white, frozen, slick, deep. Snow is forecast... again. But spring will come... green, warm, soft breezes, blossoms pink and white. Spring will come... again. My eyes love the white... sparkling in the sun, icicles hanging, growing longer as they drip.... Sign in to see full entry.

Phonitis

The advent of the cell phone/Smart phone/mobile phone has brought about a magnificent obsession, an addiction of epidemic proportions.
