Happenings

Where Am I?

Posted in anxiety, events, food, school

Yesterday, where was I? At the optometrist’s office, having my retina checked. Because possibly I’m a hypochondriac. Here’s the story: At my last visit, he said, Hey, lady, you have dreadfully strong contacts prescriptions.

2: Daffodils ready to explode, any minute.
4: Kids home for Spring Break!
9: The hour I require them to be out of bed.
13: Tiny tomato plants growing in the egg carton beside my kitchen window. (Averaging 3 new ones a day, YIPEEEE!)

Sunday Soul Food

Posted in books, familyness, food

Can I talk to you for just a minute about Roast Potatoes?

This is Happy-Making food here at our house. It is the most hands-off sort of thing to put in an oven, and it guarantees pleased children and cleared plates. It’s as easy as scrubbing potatoes, chunking them*, dumping them into a baking pan, drizzling...
