I made this today and it was delicious. Thought you might like the recipe.  I took it out to Sarah and Gregorio’s house and Nico was all ready for a second piece when I had to break it to him that his mom didn’t want him to eat more cake this evening. His little face…

Today, Ray got the word from his doctor that the lump on his neck was noncancerous. He will be going in for an ultrasound of his thyroid, but the fears we had about malignancy have evaporated like a fine mist once the sun comes up. I don’t really have words to describe the level of…

This afternoon, I received a package with one of two dresses I ordered for Liz’s wedding. The dress is very cute, but, unfortunately, because I am a bit busty, it doesn’t fit in that area like it should. So, one dress down within minutes. Then, later in the day, I received the third pair of…

We went tonight to the premiere at the Cinerama Dome of Banger Films new ZZ Top documentary That Little Ol’ Band From Texas. Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill were there as well for a Q & A after the documentary was over. Frank Beard was not there and reportedly was at home recovering from a bout of…

I am sitting in my den right now with Cordelia (who is much improved), Frankie, Hazel (Rachael’s dog) and Augie (Liz’s dog).  So that’s a Corgi, a terrier mix, a Chiweenie and a bulldog all curled up near me.  How did it come to be that I am now taking care of my grand-dogs as…
