I was looking through an old recipe box today and found a handwritten recipe tucked between two cards.

The handwriting was so familiar that I sat there looking at it for a while.

Funny thing is, I wasn't thinking about the food. I was remembering the person who wrote it.

Some things are worth keeping, even if you never make the recipe. 🫀

I was thinking about something today. When I was younger, I couldn't wait to grow up and do whatever I wanted.

Well, here I am, all grown up, and sometimes the most exciting thing I do all day is discover I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. 😂

Anybody else find that funny?

The older I get, the more I realize that some of the best lessons I've learned came from things I would never want to go through again. At the time, I certainly didn't think, “Well, this is going to make me wiser.”

In 1955, a gallon of gas cost 29 cents. That meant, 5 bucks filled your tank, and left enough change for a Coke and a candy bar. And you didn't pump it yourself. A young man cleaned your windshield and checked your oil, while calling you "Sir" or "Ma'am".

What would you say is the greatest acting performance in the history of motion pictures?

This brings back memories. I loved Olivia and I sure do miss her. #JohnTravolta #OliviaNewtonJohn

The man doesn't know a snake is about to bite the woman. The woman doesn't know the man is about to be crushed by a rock. THE MESSAGE: You never know what problems a person is dealing with. Be KIND to people. #BeKind #BeKindtoPeople

Yesterday, I felt like making some homemade English Muffins. I guess I made too many. But I don't mind. I'll freeze some of them if I have to. They definitely won't go to waste. #EnglishMuffins

Eastern style hot dog buns. All-in-one. I wonder if I can make these. It doesn't look too hard.
