Deliciouso....mmmmm.....

Tuesday night my family was lucky (and ailing) enough to receive a treat of epic proportions from our dear and lovely friend, Kirsten Naylor...dinner. All of it was yummy, but what I really want to focus on was the cake she baked and was actually embarrassed to leave with me. She didn't think it looked right and was worried it might not be done...little did she know.

Okay, so I called her and this is how she made it (let me just add, it's delicious if served warm...another of her worries):
*One French Vanilla cake mix - mix (with an additional 1/2 cup sour cream) and bake as directed on package.
*When out out of the oven and still warm, frost with a mixture of powdered sugar, milk, butter and almond flavoring (measurements will be edited in later...after I've experimented).

Serve like I said...warm.

Our heartfelt thanks, Kirsten. You're a real Idaho gem!

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage". I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now. People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying. Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many. Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People. Oh, the people. In so many ways huma...
