Ah yes, what do I do when ideas escape me? I find a (more-or-less) family friendly joke from my email archives and share it with everyone. Today is no exception. As usual, I did not make this one up and I’ve no idea where it originated. This one did bring a slight smile to my lips.

Is Reality Really Real?

Well golly sergeant! (Sorry Gomer Pyle flashback.) How’s that for some serious alliteration in a post title? Now, stop asking yourself if I’m going to say Shazam! and let’s get back to this most interesting dichotomous (yes - I did look that up and I do believe it’s a valid word, and no it’s not a kind of dinosaur) quandary.

Installing Love

I came across this email the other night. It’s one of those warm fuzzy ones. I have no idea where it originated, and I take no credit for writing it. Enjoy!

15 Favorite Recipe Sites & a Little More

Who doesn’t love to cook from time to time? I didn’t say who’s good at cooking! I asked who doesn’t like to do it from time to time. Here’s a collection of my favorite recipe sites and cookbooks. My emphasis has always been on saving money and simple cooking. I love to do it, but I don’t need a big white puffy hat and I certainly don’t need to feel like I’m making a gourmet meal. Look at these sites and you’ll find copycat recipes (save money by not going out to eat!!), frugality and simple recipes. Enjoy!!
