This has to be my favorite version of this song ever!! When you listen, I’m sure your day will be brighter. I just watched the movie 500 days of Summer starring these actors, so now I like this version even more. Happy New year!
If you haven’t guessed by my logo or the name of this blog, I am an introvert. One of the most important things I learned in college was that it’s okay to be an introvert. Thank goodness for the career planning class with the personality test. Up until that time, I was under the impression [...]
1. Smith’s Happy Face Cookie that came in the box from Bakersfield, CA. Heavenly!
2. Candied orange peels. I think I ate the whole batch all by myself. Except for this little plate.
3. Hootenanny. Fun music. As the night wears on, more musicians get brave enough to join in. It’s [...]
Here’s a simple idea to freshen up your table for the new year.
I love table linens and this is a great way to update your dining table without spending lots of money. Start with placemats and napkins from the dollar store. Sew on Ribbon. You will be limited by what your [...]

Two puns today:
1. Our daughter after getting concert tickets for Christmas: “Mom and Dad, you rock my world!”
2. As parents we try to equip our children with tools they can use to live a good life. This year for Christmas we gave our teenagers hammers, wrenches and screwdrivers, in toolboxes. Tools, afterall, come [...]
More sweets for today. I like these because they taste great, and they are really easy to make. Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave. Dip the pretzels into the melted chocolate. Roll in crushed candy cane. Dry on wax paper. Eat!
Here’s a recipe for tea cakes, with a yummy twist: Hershey kisses. This is a recipe that we’ve been using in my family for many years. My mom tells me that it originally came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook and that one of our neighbors taught us to wrap the cookie dough around [...]
Our land line hasn’t been working for several weeks. It’s one of those things that hasn’t taken top priority, since we can just use cell phones. But there is something about a land line that I like for long conversations. I like not getting dropped. I like not having voices cut out at the end [...]
