Musings on anything.

My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one.

In response to "Safe Driving for Experienced Drivers"

It's probably a good refresher to take the course. Heck, I'd do it myself to save a couple of bucks on Insurance. Insurance is crazy in California. A lot of companies have left because our insurance laws are wild. Glad you have that option.

In response to "Low sodium Cooking"

Sounds like a pretty tasty dinner, although I have no idea how quinoa would impact the flavor. I, too, probably spend more time than is good for me at my computer - although, to be fair, just because my status is "Online" doesn't mean I'm actually in front of the screen - I get a bit of exercise chasing after my grandson. Do what you can to feel better, and to feel better about how you feel.

In response to "Cleaning Produce"

I had no idea fruits and veggies were so dirty. Yuck. I'm pretty good about washing my veggies & fruits too, but vinegar seems a bit extreme. I'd have to research it for myself to see what the benefits were and if the effort was worth it. Thanks for sharing. Food for thought!

In response to "where Do You Find Hope?"

Heck, I think all the above are great places to find hope. I can honestly say I've hope in Jesus, his words, his story. I can definitely find hope in my children. Nature, for me is more inspiring, but watching the Big Bear Eaglets and animals/birds in nature leaves me with good feelings and hopeful feelings.

People, when they do the right thing, always leave me with hope, I suppose because it's not easy to do the right thing. Someone lost their wallet in the grocery store parking. Did you turn it in and leave the money in there when you did?

For me, Good things, Good deeds, Small gestures of kindness leave hope. Positive actions leave hope. Reading a romance and getting that happy ending leave me hopeful.

I agree - hope is all around us if we open our eyes.

All the best
Steph

Gaining wisdom born from experience. Priceless. $$$$$

In response to "Minor Celebration"

I have 42 steps. Far too many if I have heart issues but my neighbor gets Meals-on-Wheels and I believe home-delivery of groceries. So... I could too if need be. I've thought about it.

I could do 7 steps one at a time. Maybe. I'm very careful bending over. I tend to sit when putting pants or socks on.

Behaving...

In response to "Absence"

Yep. The recuperation period is essential. The do's like walking, the don'ts like no driving. You seem prepared. I have 42 steps so I'd be bound to pacing this floor.

I tend to write when I'm bored and not traveling. I could catch up on that (which is what I've been doing this past week).

You don't mention the procedure but we have a wonderful place in town that puts in stents. I may need to have that done.

In response to "January and Decisions "

My neighbor, Jay, has had a pacemaker for years. He's young and has no choice so off to Seattle (11 hour drive) to get a new battery or something. He also got new teeth (full mouth replacement) and that has improved his quality of life. He's lived with the prospect of a short life for many years. He's a leather-worker. I wrote this for him:

Leather [148]

First chapter: Jay dies often. But this death came early and unexpected.

In response to "Who Lives A Boring Life?"

My sister was playing two doors down and a hammock came down on her head and put a hole in it. Blood gushing everywhere. Our next door neighbor was fortunately visiting my mother (my mother never let anyone in!) and they took her to the doctor who lived at the corner of the main road and the street. He shaved off some hair and took care of it.

In between the adventures...

In response to "Geraniums and Bees"

Nice post. I love geraniums but kill them as I water too much, I believe. They need a dryer pot and I also watch that my husband does water them when they look a little dryer than other plants. I am also guilty leaving the removals in the pot. So, learn something here. With yellow jackets, if they remain, go back to YOu Tube as they have several videos regarding that pest.

New Recipes

I am quite willing to try new things. Many I never repeat. I don't bake much any more, so I'm not trying those type recipes.

I am into making my own salad dressings. I have found a formula for putting one together that allows a lot of different ingredients to be tried. I've also gotten into making up my own soups and salads. All are without added salt, of course. I might start out with a recipe, then take off on my own. It's amazing what you can do with the versatile tomato.

And fruit! Since I've learned to poach fish, I use fruit with that. Great combinations.

All you need is a little flair, a slight knowledge of what is bad for you, and fresh produce. You also need a willingness to consume whatever you cook up, even if you never cook it again.
