They are voting once again on moving the Idaho border but where I live will not be included in the move. The court house is two blocks away. So that is not going to happen. There is no sales tax in Oregon but there is in Idaho....

That seems to be what Mother Nature is telling us.
It was damp and sprinkly yesterday morning. Then cleared off. Then just before school let out a cold front brought freezing rain. I was disappointed. I thought it was going to...

The first was to reheat the last of the pork, sauerkraut, and potatoes. In the same pan, I put two chopped Roma tomatoes, and the last of an onion, and cooked it until the tomato side dish was cooked....

Of the 80 plus miles that I have logged in for myself, he's been with me for about 65 of them.
I'm going to go out one...

Cooper and I went out for 1.2 mi walk. At noon it was still so cold. We got a smattering of snow this morning. There were a few remnants, but the biggest issue was the wind that was whipping through the trees. It made it so much...

Karen Hellier I like Progresso soup but since my bp runs high I have to really watch the sodium. So I usually split the can in half and add water to make a bowl of soup. And sometimes I also add spinach or kale so the soup isn't too watery and a bit healthier. I am glad...
