Yummy banana nut bread

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 6 May

Yesterday I had two bananas that were still a little green, but I really, REALLY, wanted to bake some banana bread. What did I do, you ask? Well, of course I googled how to quickly ripen bananas. Google told me to bake them in...

Psychological illusionist

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 5 May

Have you seen Derren Brown: The Sacrifice? We just watched it on Netflix and I still have mixed feelings about it. Derren Brown is a hypnotist, a psychological illusionist. He set up an extremely elaborate experiment where,...

Light at the end of the tunnel....

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 4 May

And I'm really, really hoping it's not an oncoming train. Dale seems some better today, not hurting nearly as bad. Of course, if he had known he was supposed to be on antibiotics this whole week after the surgery, he might not...

Ever had a root canal?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 3 May

The thought of a root canal usually strikes fear in the heart of many people. I've had several over the years, but they're not so horrible usually. The one this morning wasn't bad, but now my jaw is killing me. Taking pain med,...

When it rains...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 1 May

You may be familiar with the expression "when it rains, it pours" meaning when bad things happen, sometimes even more or even worse things happen. I recently wrote that my husband's cousin passed away (they were more like...

Terribly sad news

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 29 Apr

My husband's niece in Arkansas called yesterday to tell us she just found out she has Pancreatic cancer. She's 56 and has always seemed like a daughter to us. We're in shock. I know that is usually a fatal disease because it's...

Excess or moderation?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 30 Mar

I've decided that most things in excess can be bad and that most things in moderation can be good. Of course, there are exceptions to both. Such as drinking too much alcohol can lead to a lot of dangerous outcomes. Not only car...

An unusual day's activity

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 26 Mar

I did something I've never done before. My husband had a deer stand/condo in the back field that he wanted to move to the front field. It was the latest one he had built. So he drove the tractor and I followed driving the pick...

Do you plant trees and name them after your kids?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 26 Mar

We didn't do this when our two children were young, but when we started having grandkids (well, our children had them, but you know what I mean.) we planted a tree when the grandkid was very young. We would let the...

We have a little entrepreneur in the family!

My niece's little boy River raises chickens and sells the eggs. And he's only five! I bought some from him today and I'm sure they're much fresher than the eggs I buy from Walmart. We all live in the country and they're just...

Tax good news/bad news

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (25139) • United States 18 Mar

We had our tax preparation done yesterday. I was dreading that we might have to pay taxes this year. Bad news is we do have to pay some to the federal government. Good news is we get a refund from the state government. And...
