Strawberry-Ruhbarb
My Grandma made the best rhubarb pies from the rhubarb that grew like crazy in the back of her yard. One year, 1991, she made Strawberry-Rhubarb freezer jam with it. I probably shouldn’t admit this publicly, but my family had a weird thing about canning food and putting it up. Not that that’s weird. It’s […]

I have always wanted to use this blog to talk about my journey with morbid obesity. In theory that shouldn’t be a hard thing to do, I have never really been a private person. I am on the introverted side, I am prone to sensory overload and tend to avoid large groups of people. But […]
Now See…
My Papa always said that I was so damn bull headed that I had to’ve been sired by a jackass (yeah, I know, and he was a farm boy too. Where do you think I get it from?). But I think he misspoke, I think he probably meant, SHIRE ass. The resemblance is uncanny, wouldn’t […]
Gypsy’s Lullaby
I’ve recently discovered the Hungarian Dances by Brahams. Actually, I’m sure I’ve heard them before, because I can feel it in me somewhere, but I just didn’t know that was what I was listening to. I know they are dancing tunes, but it is nearly 10:00 pm as I make this post, so tonight we […]
Folk Song Friday -Take Two
Apparently I made my Youtube access too private; let’s try this again.
On Being Non Sequitur
One day I was writing a blog post and trying to decide if I was being random or non sequitur. I was tempted to say non sequitur and realized I wasn’t completely sure of the definition. So I Googled it and decided I was being random. But after reading the non sequitur definition I became […]
