A busy holiday weekend. A time of cookouts, get togethers and fireworks. Should be a time of pride and celebration. I know some people may not see it right now yet one thing we should have leaned about freedom is that is has to be fought for. It is not easy to get or maintain. I want everyone out there to enjoy the weekend. No matter what one does or doesn't do, remember, we are...

I am worried.  Normally I can shrug things off more easily than I am able to at this moment.  Everything appears to be crashing around me & I have gotten caught up in the wave. My husband, daughter and I are joining in on a family trip (my sister, one of her daughters and her family, my nephew and his family) to grand old Kentucky to see my 87 year old mother the second week in August....

Fitness. Getting stronger, healthier. If we could put aside the partisan political crap for a moment, I could use a little advice. I have never been a fan of exercising on purpose. For most of my life I was generally healthy. As I am getting older and especially the last couple of years I feel I have become more sedentary. I seem to get winded easier. A cousin of mine told me to come over to...

What are your thoughts on today's hearing of the January 6th Committee?

They say a generation defines someone from when/where they grew up. That one will always go back to those times and similarities. Sounds nice and all but I have ulterior motives.

Trump, with McConnell’s help, seated 3 right-wing ideologues on the supreme court. Today, those righties, along with a couple seated by GWB, completely ended all federal protection for a...

Litha was beautiful.  A gorgeous day.  We even got into the pool.  I have a few pictures of my baked goods.  I never got a chance to get the main course.  They attacked with a vengeance. and de kabobbed my kabobs before I could snap any pics. My pineapple upside down cake turned out PERFECT for the first time in my life. My Fairy HoneyCakes.  There were six, but one for the fairies. So...

Seven days aboard the M/V Grace — A Wildlife Adventure Even though I begin this article with where it all began for us, Quasar & The Grace, I had to throw in this little teaser with a few wildlife images, since, not to take anything away from the Grace which is wonderful in its own right, the wildlife were the stars of the show. The M/V Grace   — The honeymoon yacht for...

Another Feast Day is upon me.  Midsummer or the Summer Solstice is the most powerful day of the year for the Sun God.  It is a Fire feast so bonfires will be lit.  My hubby's favorite part (after the feast food of course) is the bonfire.    Summer flowers  all through my house and  summer berries adorn my dinner table. Bright colors of green, blue and yellow flow throughout my...
