I ordered a pot roast with my grocery order yesterday and put it in the crock pot with new potatoes, carrots, red onion, a cup of water and a cup of red wine after seasoning it with freshly ground sea salt and freshly ground peppercorn blend. I set it on low at 10 pm andContinue reading “Roast Beef For Sunday”

It’s A Pain
The sun is out, it’s 9°. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I’ve gotten nothing done yet for our meal, still need to make my cornbread and thaw the turkey breast but that won’t take long. Brad and I both are battling bursitis, his left shoulder, my right one. Hard to sleep when you hurt, but suchContinue reading “It’s A Pain”
Weird Stuff
Weird stuff is happening with my posts. I don’t know if the storm passing over us is the reason for this but my last two posts were switched. I was up really late, or really early depending on your point of view, and scheduled the last post for 7 am this morning. Ahem. It postedContinue reading “Weird Stuff”
Tomorrow is Another Day!
I was going to run errands today, but the best laid plans and all that. Again. Anyway, Brad picked up the mail and brought us lunch, and dinner for tomorrow, so what I need to do will wait until tomorrow after the trip to the chiropractor. Haven’t made my potato soup yet because I forgotContinue reading “Tomorrow is Another Day!”
Construction, Construction Everywhere
We’ve been dodging road construction on our way into town for months and it doesn’t seem to be letting up much. At one point we had no choice but to take a detour that leads under two short railroad bridges on a rough street. At least now we are able to avoid that and driveContinue reading “Construction, Construction Everywhere”
Taking A Break
The ice is gone and the sun came out, but I’m down with a sinus infection and not in the mood to be creative. I’ll take off for the weekend and hope to get this behind me and start fresh on Monday. Have a blessed weekend, ya’ll.
Day Trip
Brad had business in neighboring Fannin County today and I went along for company. We were gone about four hours and stopped in Sherman for a bite of lunch before heading home. We had intended to stop and vote but I was tired and needed out of the car so we decided to let votingContinue reading “Day Trip”
Last Ditch Effort
We felt like we weren’t getting anywhere with the local guy who services Whirpool appliances so Brad went online and found a business in Ft. Worth, and right there, on their webpage, was a photo of John, who took care of the problem with the freezer not defrosting on our fridge last summer. John arrivedContinue reading “Last Ditch Effort”
Wake Up Call
As I’ve mentioned before, Brad has been retired for several years. When I say retired, I mean retired, retired. As in he retired from Sherman PD in 2005, but a few years later was back to a 40 hr work week as Director of Texoma Regional Police Academy, and retired from that three years ago.Continue reading “Wake Up Call”
Allergies Won This Time
OK. I’m done for now. The allergy symptoms have taken hold and are not letting up easily. The saline is helping, as are otc allergy tablets, but now I have a headache that won’t quit and I don’t even feel like knitting. Yup. It’s that bad. When my head aches I am down for theContinue reading “Allergies Won This Time”
