Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning...Gain an Hour, Right!

6 Comments

Dogs could care less about the so called Daylight Savings Time change. Five years ago I was getting up at 5:30 every morning to take care of dogs and had been for 20 some years.

Coffee Helps...Creating Order from Chaos in the Kitchen

Let's be clear, my spice cabinet wasn't quite like this. For one thing, I have three times as many spices and a larger shelf. Actually, they were even alphabetized on little elevated shelves. Still though, pretty much every time I reached for something on the back elevated shelf, something woul...
