The wedding present that has got the longest and most use in the last 41 years is our Wagner Ware Magnalite Roaster 4265 P … and that is what I cook the Easiest Best Stew Ever in. (There’s a bunch of them on sale on ebay. This stew never fails to get compliments. Peel & [...]
Okay … so I like NCIS! For a few scary minutes last night I thought DiNozzo was a gonner and I would have to quit watching my favorite forensic show, NCIS (since he is my favorite on the team) but deep inside I knew somehow he couldn’t be dead even though he was fried to a crisp right before my [...]

Something else I wrote a while back … June 18, 1999 Today I had a few minutes left of my lunch hour and decided to run to ZCMI and pick up a long skirt to wear to the family reunion Saturday. I really shouldn’t say “run” … because my left leg sports a cast that [...]
