Mustard or ketchup on your hot dog?
I use both.

Sugar and/or cream and/or milk in your coffee and/or tea?
(that's a lot of and/or's!)
I use Stevia and maybe a little milk in my chai tea.
Salt & pepper on just about everything else.
Ranch dressing on carrots.
Brown sugar, butter and milk on my hot cereal.
Butter AND peanut butter on my sandwich.
Spin Blend on a BLT.
Lots of butter on a steak!
Grated Parmesan on noodles.
But my husband takes the cake for offbeat combos...
Pancake syrup on large curd cottage cheese!!!
Stay hungry!

A Sporting Life!

Image
You didn't know I've had sports in my life, did you! Here are the seven "sports" I dabbled in. 1.- I actually never did learn to swim. But I enjoyed going to the local pool and watching other people swim. I even got in and bobbed around so long as I didn't have to get my face wet! 2.- My cousin Mary Beth and I used to play badminton on our front lawn. We made up our own rules. I just remember that if you returned the birdie UNDER the net, that was a "hoover" and counted double. 3.- I had those metal roller skates you attached to your shoes using a skate key. Our sidewalks had lots of bumps and so did our driveway, so I wasn't able to get very good at it. 4.- I taught myself to ride a bike. It was old and it was blue and it had big fat tires. I used to make myself a sandwich and ride out to the cemetery so I could have lunch on the podium where the mayor gave a speech every Memorial ...

A Reader's Celebration

Image
I am going through my books and re-reading them and deciding which ones to keep and which ones to sell or donate so that my children won't have to do that when I am gone. Years ago I did that and settled on keeping only three of my favorite authors: Maud Hart Lovelace, Booth Tarkington, and Ed McBain/ Evan Hunter. A while back I decided to give all my Lovelace books to  my oldest daughter  who shares my love of the Betsy-Tacy series. I also gave her my set of Betsy, Tacy, and Tib dolls that I had purchased 30 years ago. I sold my entire set of the "Matthew Hope" series by Ed McBain on eBay a while back. I will soon be listing my entire set of the "87th Precinct" mystery series also by Ed McBain. Ed McBain and Evan Hunter are one and the same person. The books he wrote as Evan Hunter are all so different. I have to re-read them all first before I will be ready to sell them. I a...

GETTING ORGANIZED!

Image
I have been chipping away at getting photographs, newspaper clippings, and stories organized. It took me a while to get it figured out.  First, I made twenty folders on my desktop.   Then it was easy to transfer photos from the "pictures" on my computer to the appropriate folder. The next step was purchasing twenty sweater boxes in which to PUT all these photographs, clippings, and stories. What has NOT been easy is getting them all labeled correctly with the year-month-day (so that the computer keeps them organized chronologically) and then a few words identifying the subject. I have been using abbreviations  like "abt." for about and "poss." for possibly.   We cleaned out my husband's sister's house last year and I am just about done filing all of HER pictures which involved first scanning them, then filing on my desktop, and finally filing the hard copies in those sweater boxes. I am about to begin on our pictures which is a projec...
