StarStruk By Life

Had the world’s best dessert last night…I took my little bowl out to the berry garden and picked a big bowl of raspberries…along the way, I found about 12 ripe blueberries which I added to the bowl.  A sprinkle of powdered sugar (totally unnecessary but…), a little milk and can you say YUMMMMMM? I had […]

OK, in a blog a while back, I mentioned the fact that I am following a new-to-me group of young ladies introduced to me by my daughter (I would link her blog except that she hasn’t updated it in ages because she is too busy DOING! <G>).  Now that I know how to insert links, I’d […]

The sun was shining when I woke up this morning.  It is forecast to be shining tomorrow and Wednesday mornings, too.  Joy! Pinched a nerve or somesuch so that pain radiates down from glutes into uppermost back of my leg.  I’m fine once I get upright or seated, but getting there is quite amusing… Hus […]

Sun!  I woke up to sun! Oh, Red Sox…you’re breaking my heart… Hus LOVES the rotisserie I got for his beloved Weber grill… Ticks…ICK!  I break down and put gross chemicals on my cats and still the ticks come in. I am lovin’ my latest Dirk Pitt/Al Giordino adventure on audiobook…this one is Treasure of […]

I’m falling into the trap of being hyper-focused on the weather.  It has been so rainy and gray that a day of sun, even an hour of sun, seems noteworthy.  But today, at least this morning, it is just plain dull.  Gray and not raining.  Don’t know what to wear…cheery and bright to counteract the […]

Hus says I have to stop calling them “the kids”…my “children” are now 26 and 29…harrumph…they will always be the kids to me. Loving a half day with son and his girl…they came down from VT for a Red Sox game (boo hoo, they saw Smoltz drubbed and the Sox with only two hits; YES, […]

And there was sun…so much was waiting for sun!  I finally got a coat of Kilz on the reconstructed window casings at the front of our house.  Next comes the stain and we are done with those windows…on to the next… Son and his girl are here…they made the long drive from VT to catch […]

For some reason, this year’s 4th of July seems a bit odd…July 4th is a Saturday in the midst of what has been a very rainy and overcast spring and early summer…today, the sun and clouds have been battling and we’ve enjoyed a nice breeze.  We took advantage of early sun and worked outside until […]

Here in New England, we have had a spring that has been largely gloomy, dark, foggy, rainy andgray.  H owever, in those moments of sun and light that we have enjoyed were all the gorgeous colors of spring…green, green grass (which always needs to be mowed because we have to wait until it stops raining to […]

I have been blessed with three wonderful dads.  Michael is technically my step-dad, but in reality he is a good friend and a great dad.  Joe Henderson is my father-in-law…I have loved that man since the day we met.  Last, but by no means least, is my dad, Al Pallas.  As I am the oldest […]
