I love this salad!! I didn’t realize until last year that I actually liked Brussels sprouts, but they are now one of my favorites. This would be great for Easter brunch or lunch. 1/2 cup pine nuts 1 pound Brussels sprouts, quartered 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons fresh lemon…

I finally decorated….
I have been decorating for the holidays for 19 years. I really wanted to skip decorating for Easter this year but my mom guilted me into it during our walk this morning. I grew up in family where my mother ALWAYS went over the top decorating for every holiday. My sister…
Who does this?
I understand if you are either “too busy” or rather too lazy to actually put the dish into the dishwasher but this sends me over top. I walk over to sink and think Wow, everyone put away their dishes and then I go to wash my hands and see this. I mean really. Don’t pretend…
I took Monday off but I’m back…
As you probably noticed I did not post on Tuesday. I know you noticed because several people brought it to my attention and a family member actually called my hubby to make sure everything was ok. I write my blogs the day before they magically appear on the web and I was a zombie…
dreading the day….
Woke up Friday morning at 5:45, totally dreading the day. Lou saw my eyes fly open and said “what’s wrong”? He could tell from across the room, I was already spinning and I had just woken up. I had found out Thursday, that the MRI follow-up I have been trying to schedule for Tiara…
I guess I really do love our dog….
Today I had a huge scare and it made me realize how important our dog, Bailey, is to me. Tiara and I were walking into the house from the car and as I came to the door I didn’t hear Bailey bark or see him through the glass of the front door. That is weird….
something happy to share…
I started feeling a little depressed today as I read all the kind, thoughtful and wonderfully supportive comments people made regarding my posts this week. Everyone was so nice, but boy did my life sound like a nightmare. In writing my posts I really have to revisit how my day went and focus on…
another one of those days….
I have been writing this blog for one month now. When I started posting last month, I had no idea my journey with Tiara was heading for this direction. I sensed her agitation was increasing, I saw more daily seizures, I felt the increased pinching and hair pulling but I was hopeful that our lives…
I know how I will die…..
I know this sounds rather morbid but it is something I think of often while driving around town with Tiara. I envision myself driving when I am suddenly struck in the head with a flying object, my head hits the steering wheel, my car careens off the road and it crashes into a telephone…
It’s raining, it’s pouring….
But my Tulips are blooming!!! It is almost Spring, only 2 more days….. Have a peaceful Sunday…
