Surviving Hurricane Hanna

Hurricane Hannah flood

Most of the hurricanes that pound the south Texas coast seem to miss our area in the Rio Grande Valley. Usually, they hit farther north. It wasn’t until Saturday morning, July 25 that I started believing that Hurricane Hanna was actually going to slam the Valley. Preparing for Hurricane Hanna Crazily, we prepared for the… [continue reading]

Sausage and Potato Skillet

Sausage and Potato Skillet Dinner

A sausage and potato skillet is one of my favorite meals.  I’ve been making various versions since I was in junior high.  For a while, I only made it with summer sausage.  Then I went through a period when I made it with hot dogs.  Use chorizo and make it tacos.  Every way I’ve ever… [continue reading]

My love of Foosball

I have never been particularly athletic. I enjoyed running in junior high, and I probably would have gone out for track in high school, until I took one look at the seventies super short uniforms, and that ended it for me. There was absolutely no way I was going to put my stick skinny legs… [continue reading]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad

I always thought my dad was the perfect man.  I had always heard there was a connection between a girl’s relationship with her father and how she would relate to her husband, so I thought marriage should be pretty easy.  The problem was that I always thought my dad was right, not so with my… [continue reading]

A Snake in the House

I hate snakes. The only thing worse than snakes is snakes in the house! Recently, we went over to see my parents. Lo and behold there was a black snake about three feet long and about an inch and a half thick curled up at their front door and happily sunning itself. Its head was… [continue reading]

Baked Beans Recipe

I think of this as Mom’s recipe for baked beans, because I learned to make them from watching her.  Over the years though, I think I’ve changed it and made it my own.  People have asked me for the recipe many times and that was always a problem, because I’ve always just dumped ingredients and… [continue reading]

Covid-19 Homeschool Day–the Worst!

First Boyfriend: Funny Moments

My dad told me I couldn’t date until I was eighteen.  This was always the magic age when I was growing up.  Only he didn’t quite do the math because he was thinking that I would be in college, but I was eighteen my whole senior year of high school. So although there were a… [continue reading]
