I am posting several of my favorite holiday recipes. Once you see what is in this recipe, you will understand why I only make it at the holidays. With us in the grasps of the holiday season, I know, as well as you all do, that a lot of celebrations center around food. In that… Continue reading Two Flavored Fudge
I had a web site at Geocities for years. When they stopped offering free web sites, I saved most of my content as a lot of it had taken me years to accumulate or come up with personally. I do not recall where I first read the information below but I know that I did… Continue reading Preserving the Cut Christmas Tree
Discrimination takes place all the time in the world. We may think that it is a thing of the past but it is not.

If I plan out my holidays – from gifts to wrapping time to shipping to baking, I love how the days flow and how I… Continue reading Holiday Planning and Holiday Plans
Last week, my daughter and I picked up a former classmate of hers from university and made what seems to be our annual trek to Cornell University. We live about 40 miles from Ithaca, New York and Cornell is an easy drive for a game or event, providing weather cooperates. The reason for the trip… Continue reading Cornell Hockey
