I had planned to make these cookies at Christmas time but since we got together so early in December to celebrate, I ran out of time. Yesterday I whipped up a batch of them. They are a softer type of gingerbread cookie. MOLASSES COOKIES 3/4 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup […]

I had planned on posting a different song for today’s Music Monday. Being the start of the new year, I had thought about going with a song with a theme about time. But I changed my mind. I think as we age, time becomes more and more present in our consciousness. It passes by quicker, […]

Well, here we are, the last day of 2023. For some, this evening will be a night of celebration, partying, and ringing in the new year with a bang. I don’t know if I have ever been all that excited about ringing it in. I remember as a kid feeling a bit more of the […]

It doesn’t take much for me to get lost and fall down the rabbit hole of Google looking for information about the most random of things. The other day I came across a group post of Bohemians of Nebraska which originally had me thinking of Bohemian lifestyle, or a type of clothing style. It is […]

Well Christmas is finally here. It’s quiet here at the moment and will be for most of the day. I do have some family coming around noon for lunch. Thankfully I don’t have to make it, they are bringing soup. I was going to whip up some cookies real quick or some gingerbread, but I […]

For today’s Music Monday, a song I relate to every year. I swear it’s not my fault though, people are a bad influence on me! Or someone is ratting me out to Santa. Have a good week ahead bloggers, Christmas is only a week away. Take some time to chill out and listen to some […]

Well, it is done and over with. My family had their Christmas get together last night and for the most part it went off without a hitch. It was a bit hectic in trying to get it all done, but thankfully I had done the majority of the shopping early. I didn’t get much accomplished […]

Morning Civatar, hard to believe that Christmas is only 2 weeks away. Or in my family’s case, it will be celebrated this coming Saturday so it will be a busy week of baking and cleaning, along with two days of doctor appointments. Everything seems to always come at once. I chose this peppy Christmas song […]

Is it too early for Christmas music? I thought it was too early for Christmas music. I originally thought about posting Christmas music for the whole month of December, but it can be overwhelming at times to hear Christmas music for weeks. So, I opted for another route. I came across this singer on Youtube […]

Nope, I am not making a Boston Cream pie today, but it is actually tied into today’s Music Monday’s Theme. Can you think of a song group and by adding a word (or two!) make it into a food? Today I chose the group Boston and hence the Boston Cream pie. Feel free to post […]
