More Old Recipes


Here are some more of Jeanetta's old recipes.  The thumbnails were so tiny I couldn't tell what order they were in, but here they are. I cannot comment on this post or anyone else's and I hate that because I love talking with all of you.  Hope blogger gets it fixed soon.  Also been trying new headers and can't figure out how to use my google photographs and can't find older ones.  I don't do tech very well.






I didn't forget.  I'll try and get them all posted before the holidays in case you might use one.

Assist Please


I love looking through UK magazines.  Recently, I found the wall paper I want to put up in my powder room.  It has only taken me three years.  My problem? I have looked high and low for this pattern, which reminds me of a trip to Italy.  I must be missing something as I cannot find it. Have any of you seen this hillside pattern in your publications?




I love the English language are rarely come across words I haven't seen before.  This one caught my eye.  Have you seen it in your readings before?

Try to Remember - Hong Kong Parents Choir 2015



September is magic.  Bittersweet.  I think of this song each September.  "Try to remember that time in September when dreams were kept beside your pillow." I love this video.  You need to watch it in full screen to see the parents up close.  We really are more alike.

Who'd have thunk? Faded out blue jeans and white shirts.  So sweet.
