Kitchen Hacks

I store a roasting pan in my oven because I do not have any other place for it and keep forgetting to take it out before I preheat the oven. Last week I came up with the idea of having a kitchen magnet made with the words "Check Oven For Pots and Pans" to put on the stove right next to the start button on my stove. Let's see how long it takes before I stop noticing it is there.

Re: Donald Trump's Behavior Since He Lost The Election

A Journal of the Plague Year

Last week my husband became sick with a fever of 100.7 F so he signed up for a COVID-19 test. The only opening he could get was Tuesday morning of this week. Yesterday we got the results back- negative. This morning I realized how much of a relief that was for me because when I woke up I did not feel as if a great weight was on me. This afternoon I realize just how much pressure I had been under since he first got sick because I am now exhausted in the same way I would be exhausted at the end of finals week in college.

Caught In A Trap

I can't walk out
Because I love myself too much, Baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

"He who will no longer be named" has his presidency end with Rudy Giuliani trash talking the media at a small landscaping business (It who will not be named) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Not something our founding fathers would have envisioned.

The Leaves Of Autumn

 Beautiful autumn Saturday in Sunshine Park.

The park is carved out of farmland with fallow corn fields at the north- northeast end of it.

Looking back up the walkway.  The yellow tree in this photo is just beyond the yellow
tree in the other photo. The tree on the left is the one on the right in the other photo.

No To White Supremacists

 We have a neighbor who has been in my house. Who is a dog person. Whose wife died a year ago and who we emotionally supported for the last year. He is now flying a Don't Tread On Me flag and the Betsy Ross flag. Either he is a white supremacist or he hasn't a clue to what it means. Either way, I'm shunning him.

RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933 - 2020)

“Many admirers of her work say that she is to the women’s movement what former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was to the movement for the rights of African Americans. I can think of no greater compliment to bestow on an American lawyer.”

-President Bill Clinton, 1993

The Notorious RBG will be missed. I grieve for our country.
