I knew the cold weather was going to arrive! But along with the cool temperatures we are seeing the sun, so I am not complaining. Without a horrible wind it really doesn’t feel that bad. It looks like things are warmer by the weekend if the forecasters are correct. I […]
I try, though not always with success, not to grumble about the growing limitations of aging. I can no longer snap the fingers of my left hand due to injury and arthritis. I can live with that and confess that no one is lining up to invite me to keep […]

This recipe is a perfect brunch item, or just something fun to bring together for the family on a Sunday morning. Because this recipe utilizes premade hash brown patties, a […]

Next week, major league baseball writers will announce which player(s), if any, are going to Cooperstown. That’s where the Baseball Hall of Fame is, with a membership probably more exclusive than any yacht club or Augusta National, home of golf’s Masters. Players are dying to get into Cooperstown.
