Having been treated successfully with HIFU, I answer the question [...]

Cleaning, organizing, dusting…[repeat.] Cleaning, organizing, dusting…[repeat!!]
This was my spring awakening-styled weekend. A portion of the dusty-house-dance was a pas de deux that I performed with our nutrition and cookbooks (dozens X 10)!! My ”tutu” (too-too) began to unravel when I spyed a huge newspaper-sized book called, “A Directory Of Natural And Health Foods…a source book for a [...]

I also promise: 1.To be brief with my descriptions (okay,stop rolling your eyes), 2.To be unbiased in my explanations (this will be as difficult as attending a nudist camp and [...]

Time to admit the error of my ways!
To quote my darling 17 month old granddaughter whenever any miss-take occurs in her world (ie: dropping goodies up-’n-over the highchair table,) an expressive audibly-adorable reaction punctuates the air…”OOOPS!!”
Well, I say, “OOOPS OOOPS OOOPS!”

About a month ago I actually signed-up to join “something!” I know, big shocker, but let me explain. There is not a day that spins by, that I am not solicited — or gently requested — to partake in the membership of one group or another. Don’t miss-understand my un-intentions!
