I want to say that I am so thankful for my primary care physician. She listens, values me as a person, and has a great sense of humor. I was not trying to make her laugh, she could just see the total irony in a situation. This...

There is always something new to learn but even so, some things still surprise me. A friend has become allergic to cold and now carries an EpiPen. Imagine being allergic to cold!! It seems it is quite difficult to control but so...

Heather Echola It seems our lives are making us sick. I get muscle spasms from the cold, but your friend's allergy sounds frightening.

Bruno went in and out and in and out one more time this morning as I was hurrying to leave. I knew Bob would look for him to come back in after a while. It is not really cold here. In fact it was 50 something Fahrenheit. . . but...

Heather Echola He finally listened up, I guess, when I called him. I worry about foxes and coyotes around here. I think he is too heavy to climb a tree. On the other hand he is also too heavy for a bird of prey to pick up.

Heather Echola Yeah, Bruno is a cat and does not have a fence, nor a leash. He has a place that he likes to hide during the day if the weather is nice, just at the side of my yard. That is where part of the tree fell today, and I think he was scared to come through the...

First idea: take a couple of ibuprofen then find a Betty Crocker cookbook, put your glasses on and grab a magnifying glass so you can read the gingerbread people recipe. Part B of that idea: let go of what gingerbread people...

Heather Echola I cleaned off a surface last night. The dining table. It is now bedecked in a snowman themed cloth (covered with plastic) with new cloth placemats and blue plaid napkins. All thrifted this fall. I have a snowman table runner, two more placemats and four more...

Heather Echola We have our share of the Oklahoma wind today. Various kids described what they saw as being like tornadoes. That is especially when they see the leaves that are kind of sucked into a vortex at the building entrance.

Heather Echola It is a shame. These bell ringers work so hard to raise the funds. On a lighter note, there was a bell ringing duo I saw last weekend that were a dancing pink rabbit and an abominable snow man or a gorilla or some such. For that extra effort I hope they raised...
