It started as Arizona dreaming
Quiet Basil was hidden, scheming
Fennel seed kept sprouting
Mulling spices hid his outing
Paprika colored my desires
Aleppo pepper stirred the fires
Nutmeg bridged the gap
Lemongrass cured the flap
Preferring Vanilla over Tuscan sunset
Sunny Paris over Sea salt sweat
Decided my Mural of flavor
Needed mildness over savor.

1. Where were you in 1978? If you weren’t born where were you in 2008? In 1978 I was living in Lakewood, Colorado with my husband and kids aged 7, 9 and 11.
2. Raise your hand if you remember records playing at a speed of 78 rpm? What’s a topic that when it comes up you ‘sound like a broken record’? I haven’t heard that referring to myself but it may have been said about me☺️ As a child we delighted in going up to the attic to play ancient 78s on an actual gramophone. Later we had a record player and my mom would put on an old 78 with the official recording of army calisthenics and we’d do them in the dining room. Man I am old!
3. What’s the last thing you recorded in some way? One of a treasured recording is a cassette tape of a Christmas when our kids were little.
4. Thursday is the first day of fall (in the northern hemisphere). How do you feel about the changing seasons? Something you’re looking forward to this fall? Fall is my absolute favorite season and I love all aspects of it.
5. In what way (or ways) are you like the apple that didn’t ‘fall far from the tree’? I suppose humor and smart ass attitude come from my father.
6. Insert your own random thought here. Composing this I am taken back once again to childhood and how amazing it was with fostered imagination and freedom of the outdoors.

Achieving balance in our lives, is a constant struggle for most
Coming of age, middle age and old age, it remains true
We still strive to maintain balance, whatever that personally means

“Father Stu” on Netflix is rated R because of language but it is a very good story starring Mark Wahlberg.
“Stuart Ignatius Long (July 26, 1963 – June 9, 2014) was an American boxer and Catholic priest who developed a rare progressive muscle disorder. He was portrayed by Mark Wahlberg in the 2022 biopic, Father Stu.”

A home is not just a place to hang your hat, but a gallery to show you or your family’s interests. Most homes have a personal space or room that shows the occupants’ personality. In my case it’s the main living area.

1. Are you an early riser or late starter to the day? It all depends on what plans I have but usually awake with the sun.
2. Do you adopt Breakfast like a king, Lunch like a prince and Dine like a Pauper? I make a latte after I’m up and then eat a meal around three-five if I’m at home, but if I’m out with family it varies.
3. Do you have a sweet or savoury tooth? Unfortunately, both but lately it’s more savory.
4. Would you prefer a hot relaxing bath or a massage? Neither, I can’t get in and out of a tub and remembering so called massages on my back for PT that caused more pain, no thanks.
5. What has been the highlight of the past seven days for you? A lot going on in the fam right now, school dances, a wedding in less than a month and that’s just the beginning. Seeing my granddaughter all fancied up with her boyfriend and that fresh romantic tinge between them was probably the highlight.❤️

A lively tasty punch, she murmured
Using her finger as a stirrer
“Madge’s Manners” was only a book
Defiantly ignoring their blatant looks
She is the heiress after all
And their minds so very small
All greedy, weary relatives
Hoping for a generous give.
