From Kermit to Cookies

Jul 31, 2014

Whew.  I am exhausted.  Mind you I don't have much to be exhausted about.  Other than that pesky getting the house ready to sell  thing which aside from being a lot of work is a tad bit emotional. I love this house. I love our animal friends that come to visit our yard. I love our deck. I love our neighbors even if their yard always looks a bazillion times better than ours. I love finding treasures when I clean out the closets that are filled to the max. I could very easily …

A Bit of Dough Love

Mar 24, 2014

Sometimes I find a product that I love and I have to share it with the world. Today is one of those days.   I don't do sponsored posts but every once in awhile I find something that makes me so happy that I just have to share the love.   I did not receive any compensation for writing this post---it is just my own personal experience and love of the product. And what is this product, you ask?  Why it is the EZ Doh manual bread maker!    Ginny (AKA The Loaf Lady) and Dave are the creators of …

Yea for me!!! Not working is definitely a plus …

Go With the Flow!

Dec 10, 2010

Plans change sometimes! I am learning to be more flexible in my "old" age. Used to be if something did not get done --if I had imposed a deadline on myself for something...say getting my Christmas letters written and mailed---I would stress until it was done. Not anymore. This is the new improved Beth Ann. I am learning that those self imposed deadlines aren't always going to happen and that it is okay if they don't! When I was in the paid work environment it was a different story of …
