Monday Musings
It will be six months in another week since my lymphoma diagnosis and while my emotions and health have been all over the place, there have been moments of happy clarity. After being told one too many times that if I don’t do this or that I’ll die, I’ve discovered that I’m not one of…

Monday Mystery
It’s a mystery to me how I made it all these years without Blueberry Mustard, but thanks to this gift from my brother those days are over. I’m obsessed with dipping sauces and it was perfect with the baked soft pretzels and I even got a little crazy on another occasion and discovered it tastes…

Trivial Tuesday – Cover Songs
I was flipping between my two favorite Saturday morning college football programs and had to stop on one channel for a bit while a musician was singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” for the West Virginia fans prior to their game against Penn State. I immediately thought how much I’ve always enjoyed the John Denver…

Friday Favorite – “Bad Dogs, Bad Dogs, Whatcha Gonna Do”
While the photo may not capture it, we’ve made tremendous progress in the future friendship of Harper and Benny during the week. Could be Harper has a little bit of an attitude after we were catching up on the latest Bad Boys movie in the favorite franchise or exhaustion from all the clicking and beeping…

Thankful Thursday
Now here is an item I had no idea would show up on my simplistic gratitude journey, but I am very thankful for this collection of floral folding hand fans. By the end of summer, I am very tired of the sounds of fans and being hot and these are absolutely wonderful for when you…
