If I had to name one dish as my go-to comfort food, it would be mashed potatoes. Honestly, when I make them, it’s amazing that there are any potatoes to put on the table. I’d be perfectly happy to eat them straight from the pot. Mashed potatoes bring back so…

Something very rare happened today. I had sandwiches for both lunch and dinner. And oh, my, were they good! As I’ve said before, we usually go out for lunch on Saturday. Ken and I were both in the mood for Greek food, which isn’t all that unusual. We enjoy going…

Sometimes I get an idea for a post, but before I can get it down, another idea pops up and says, “nope, you need to run with me first!” That’s what happened here. We continued our Valentines celebration into Saturday. We had a beautiful walk at the botanical garden, although…

We had a wonderful Valentines Day at home this year, with no drama. We don’t usually go out on the actual holiday. Often, we’ll have a celebratory lunch out a day or two before or after. This year is no different; we plan to go to the botanical garden tomorrow…

What were your parents doing at your age? Interesting prompt. I was going to pass on this, but as I started to think about it, I was struck by parallels to my current experience. Of course, this pretty much requires me to include my age, which is 73. By that…
