There comes a time in life, and I've arrived there, when "saving" good things - the best, whatever it is - for "company" seems to be a loss of the lovely for each and every day. The one we're living now.I did not come to this realization on my own. As with most of the [...]
It's about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon and cloudy, with very rumbly thunder. I sure hope it rains.It's been very hot the past couple of weeks, but dry (although the humidity is high, of course), which is very unusual for south Mississippi this time of year. Some afternoons you see a few clouds pop up, but [...]
Remember when I was asking for some good suggestions for dinner three or four weeks ago? (What Would You Suggest for Dinner?) You guys were great in responding and sent in some really good suggestions. Thanks so much for all of your dinner ideas. Reader JoAnn Glock commented to recommend chicken breasts cooked with pineapple, [...]

I need help, y'all. I'm out of ideas for creating a tasty, healthy meal for dinner tonight. What would each of you suggest? What do you like?I've been dieting (I've now lost 20 pounds - aren't you proud of me?!), so I don't eat a whole lot, but do need to eat good vegetables and [...]

Apparently, last time I didn't pick up many popcorn lovers, alas. However, that is not going to deter me one whit from posting my Part Deux to that delightful, ultimate gourmet food that Tom and I both savor. Well - we don't eat nearly as much as we used to, but still enjoy the "gourmet" [...]
[Note: I'm sorry I've been out of pocket and haven't posted something new the past couple of days. I've been feeling really bad with a couple of different things, including my blood pressure being precipitously low, despite the new medication. About an hour ago (11:40 a.m.) it was so low standing up that my blood [...]
I'm still here.I've been feeling completely overwhelmed and in shock the past several days with this new turn of events in my life, but have been doing my best, at Tom's guidance, which is God given, to focus on my life one precious moment at a time.And I literally mean, from one moment to the [...]

My autonomic vascular system has failed.In laymen's terms, my blood vessels no longer constrict and open as they should due to my diabetes and my blood pressure plunges precipitously when I go from lying down to sitting to standing. And the options to correct it are few and nebulous because of all of my other [...]
While the "official" relationship between
my husband, Tom, and my son, Mark, may be "stepdad" and "stepson," they
are actually two peas in a pod in lots of ways. Most ways, actually.
But, probably the most important way in which they are alike, much to
my chagrin, is in their joy in telling what they think are funny
"Dee/Mom" stories [...]
