Low Price, at What Cost?

I was reading through some things on the Internet and came across an intriguing article, entitled,Buying Green Masks Reality. I read the article with great interest, and finally, with more agreement than I had at first thought I would.

Easy Make Ahead Easter Brunch

For most of my life my idea of Easter brunch has been a chocolate bunny washed down with either Dr. Pepper, or coffee.  Sort of depends on the era, if you know what I mean.  We have rarely attended a church that had the energy to do a sunrise service, anyway.  But, Easter brunch is […]

Marc and I went to eat at Olive Garden last night.  We hardly ever go out because I am so totally picky about food.  Not about what it is but the preparation of it.  I suppose that is why we don’t get invited over to other people’s houses either, although I have […]
