I can never resist free food, especially when I know that if I don’t take it, it will go to waste, which just offends my sensibilities! Just a bit further along our road there is a sweet chestnut tree at the bottom of someone’s...

“You’re the Nearest Thing to Heaven” is a wonderful and sweet love song. It was co-written by Johnny Cash and released as a single in August 1958. The other two song authors, I think some might recognize by name; they were Hoyt...

Juliaacv I am not familiar with this song. Your mother was a beautiful lady.

It's warming up nicely. We are supposed to get in the 80s again today. I am enjoying this weather but we do need rain. That would be nice. No big plans for today. Hubby can't get the Brown's game so I don't know if he will watch...

I made the mini cinnamon rolls today..quite tasty. They would be even better with new super fresh tortillas. Simple to make and good. I would recommend putting parchment paper in the pan in case some of the filling leaks out

Juliaacv @snowy22315 Yes he does, which means that we have it late morning and we only eat 2 meals on Sundays.

Juliaacv @Fleura I love your analogy, we went to an apple orchard yesterday as a family. Our little 3-year old granddaughters know full well where the apples in the store come from, and what a freshly picked apple off of the tree tastes like.

Juliaacv They sound delicious. Here, it will be the usual eggs, bacon, breakfast sausages, home fries, eggs for him and a strawberry-filled crepe for me. Our usual Sunday breakfast, but we love it.

Juliaacv Good point brought forth. It is a shame that it has been such a short time since your previous post regarding this. There are some cliches here that are intimidating, hopefully this post will resonate with those members.

Juliaacv It is a shame that people no longer use the food that grows on trees such as chestnuts. The health value of those nuts is amazing, and they are delicious. I haven't had any in years.

Juliaacv It is too bad that the chain is closing, competition is good, it gives the consumer more leverage. Yesterday we went apple picking in the morning, and didn't return home until early afternoon. We were both starving and I made up some wraps with fresh deli...

Juliaacv I know that we were never shown movies during my college years, and in high school there were some. I attended a private Catholic high school, and they were very strict, so there were not any 'fun' movies, they were factual only-really dry stuff, and there...

Sometimes change comes gradually, sometimes it happens in jumps. In my lifetime for example, homosexuality has gone from just about being decriminalized to now practically being celebrated and gay marriage being legal. In the...

Juliaacv I think that is just wonderful. It seems like the role can still be filled by a woman, and we hear less and less of nuns in our society today don't we? The leap would amount to more years in university, and a shift in devotion from serving through teaching and...

This one also involved a my lotter. I dreamed friend and I had a therapy appointment. During that time we also found out his father died. That was quite a trick because the real guy has been dead for probably 35 years. Anyways, we...

Juliaacv Maybe it is the full moon that caused your wild dream. I woke this morning, very early, with the feel of someone making a letter S on my outer left ankle-I sleep with my ankles and feet uncovered. I researched it and was surprised at what I found. A couple of...

Juliaacv I think that it is wonderful that he is interested in becoming friends and getting to know you. He is probably finishing up his work for the season, and will have much more time to enjoy himself very soon. Yesterday was pizza night here.

I was watching something yesterday about how our bodies change and age a few days ago. It made me think of our senses (taste, sight, smell, touch, and hearing). It's like our feet... We use them so much and take them for granted....

Juliaacv @celticeagle He never ever gave up. In his final months they found fluid on his lungs, caused by what they said was lung cancer. You have to die from something, and that seemed to be the tag that they put on his chart. I remember they had to draw fluid off of...

Juliaacv I agree they are late to the party. They do not sell that brand in our country, which I am thankful for, because they are loaded with calories and unhealthy transfat.
