Continue reading →: The Secret’s in the Sauce
In our family, it’s all about the sauce. Probably the most common criticism one of us will make about a new recipe is, “there’s not enough sauce.” We want sauce to put over pasta or a grain, or just soak up with some good bread. One way I satisfy our…

Who are your favorite artists? I’m taking a different approach to this question. I could start listing singers, instrumentalists, performing groups, visual artists, dancers, and on and on. But I’m not. So who are my favorite artists? The incredibly talented band that I get to sing with each week. With…

Continue reading →: So many interests, not enough time
What is your favorite hobby or pastime? When I retired from teaching, I never thought that I’d have as many things to occupy my time as it’s turned out. There’s no way I can name a single favorite hobby or pastime, so I’m going to talk about several. I no…

Continue reading →: The Place vs. the People
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. When I retired from teaching, I began volunteering at our local botanical garden. I had experience at another garden years before, helping with their children’s tour program, so I was asked to serve as a docent, or tour guide,…

I love spending time in the kitchen, but as much as I enjoy cooking and baking, I’ve never owned a stand mixer. I received a hand-held mixer as a wedding shower gift, so I wasn’t totally without a mixer. I was still an undergraduate when Ken and I married, then…

I’m terrible at taking selfies. I never like how they look, and I end up deleting them —definitely a benefit of digital photography. But I’m good at taking shelfies: pictures of my bookshelves. I’m part of an online reading community, and we sometimes share such photos. I took pictures of…

There has been a lot going on the past few days, and I just haven’t found time to blog. Now is the time to make up for that. We made a quick trip to Orlando to visit our son and his family. As has become custom when we visit, I…

Continue reading →: Music is Life!
What would your life be like without music? Cooking is my avocation, but music is my vocation. I’m a singer and a retired choral music teacher, so I simply cannot imagine a life without music. And frankly, I don’t want to imagine such a life. Music, to me, is communication.…
