Take A Chance

My friend Tamara adopted this sweet pup from her neighborhood veterinary office.  She's never owned a dog.  That's one of the reasons he is named Chance.

Red and White

Photography, whether done with traditional or digital equipment, is an inexact science.  I took some pictures of tree branches with melting snow that I thought were going to be great.  They weren't.  I like these maple leaves.

Fall Color

Monday, it was 80 degrees.  Today it's snowing and it's supposed to get down to 20 or so overnight.

Carrots

My friend Jeannette shared some produce with me this morning.  I love baby carrots.  If carrots improve your eyes as much as the experts say they do, I should have xray vision.

The Big Apple

I received the apple on the right in my most recent box from Door to Door Organic.  And you thought the Big Apple was on the East Coast.

Breakfast Potatoes

I receive a box of vegetables from Door to Door Organics every other week.  I used the potatoes, onions, celery and bell peppers from Wednesday's box to make potato salad and Breakfast Potatoes.  I LOVE eating breakfast for supper.  I wish that making such a simple meal did not generate so many dishes and so much mess.  It's probably good that I do not have kids because I would never consent to making a mess in the kitchen early in the morning.

Scrub A Dub Dub

Last Friday, my washer died.  I called my appliance repair folks.  The motor was burned-out.  Because I replaced the motor two years ago, I wasn’t about to spend $350 to replace it again.  My new washer, a high-efficiency model that uses less water and less energy, arrived yesterday.  I won't bore you with the details on how it works (My uncle shared that with me on a drive from O'Hare to South Bend a couple of years ago).  While I got a good deal, I have to say the new models are pretty pricey.  It is, afterall, a washing machine - not a plane ticket to Nairobi, a nifty new pair of skis or a screaming fast computer.  The new dryer comes next week.  The one that came with my condo is making high-priced noises.

Ebenezer, little stinker that he is, took a nap in the laundry that piled up in my closet.

Curriculum Cat

This Fall, I have the opportunity to teach in the Fourth Grade class at my church. Yesterday, I prepared game cards to help the kids learn the Books of the Old Testament. Ebenzezer, whose name means Stone of Hope in Hebrew, helped me.
