This is the short and the long of it . . . William Shakespeare
A marriage can handle just one hysteric. That would be me. I only make this cake once a year, at Christmas. It’s a major production, for me anyway, because I give it as a gift to friends and I need six or eight of them in a short span of time. This year I decided [...]
Well, here we go again. Apparently, it snows every winter in parts of this country. Someone should tell the airlines because it seems as though they are taken by surprise every year. I think it’s worse this year because, with so many planes taken out of service, they’re flying full and passengers who have been [...]
I had gotten pneumonia and didn’t get any shopping done for the boys. I laid around for a couple of days waiting for the antibiotics to perform their magic and thinking about what I could do for Christmas gifts that wouldn’t require any physical effort or dashing around from shop to shop.

The children were hungry, we had stayed too long at the park. This may be California but here in the north when we get a sunny day in the middle of our rainy winter we roll in it like happy pigs. The park is just out my back gate and a short walk down a [...]
EPISODE ONE: Not A Whiff of Stink Before the Turd Fell Starring: Carla as Suzi, Jim (the ghost who is never seen on my blog), about 80 Wee-Wees, the Pickles, the Edge Dwellers and too many lawyers. In Episode One we find Suzi cooking dinner while opening the mail. Soon there would be shrieking, obscenities, [...]
The light has changed. The boardwalk is open now only on weekends. The rainy season has begun and we all hope for a lot of rain, it’s our bath water next year. I like the rain and the quietness of a resort town in winter but I miss that beautiful blue sky. Summer is well [...]
