Milk Facts

A few months ago, hubby and I switched to organic milk. I grew up on farm milk, unpasteurized, unhomogenized, we got lucky if they strained the straw out, and I can still taste that bitter aftertaste you get from regular store milk, so, we decided to switch. Hmmmmm, happy with new organic milk we are.ContinueContinue reading “Milk Facts”

Basement Day

When my brother and I left our mother’s home, nay even when we bought homes of our own, we neglected the golden rule of “Moving Out.” We did not take our stuff with us from mom’s basment. Recently, my grandmother’s belonging’s joined mine and my brother’s in the basement and mom called a halt toContinueContinue reading “Basement Day”

Waiting in line at the bank drive-through

Me: Can you grab me a pen out of the glove compartment? Hubby: There’s no pen in here. One day we have a pen, then we don’t. Then I put another one in here, and then it’s gone.

Intentional Grocery Shopping

On our way to a family party in Ann Arbor last weekend, hubby and I heard an NPR story about Whole Foods (the grocery store). The owner gave the single most concise and convincing argument that either of us had ever heard for why health food is “expensive.” Higher quality food costs more money. IContinueContinue reading “Intentional Grocery Shopping”

The Snake Lady’s Afternoon Off

Late last week I decided I needed an Afternoon Off. Kind of like Ferris Beuhler’s Day Off only I asked for annual leave from my boss four day’s ahead of time and let hubby know my plans. Y’know, a grown-up version of Ferris Beuhler’s Day Off. My Afternoon Off began with a trip to theContinueContinue reading “The Snake Lady’s Afternoon Off”
