• Thanksgiving Night Movie: Zathura

    We got through Thanksgiving Day meal alright, but I was exhausted. I rested a bit, wanted to go to sleep but didn’t. Then we decided to go out and see a movie if we could find one we wanted to see. We’d thought about Yours, Mine & Ours since hearing it was coming out as…


  • Thanksgiving Meal Prep Poem

    Turkey’s roasting in a fast (425 degrees) oven Extra stuffing’s in the fridge Fireplace is burning, a red glow Green Bean casserole below turkey, wedged in. Bad rhyming. Goes with a busy morning. It’s all true, so it’s good rhyming, in my book 🙂


  • Failure to roast

    I didn’t get my turkey’s roasted today. 🙁 I woke up with a migraine and struggled just getting a couple of pumpkin pies made this morning, and the migraine hung in there getting worse mid-day, so I ended up laying down for awhile, after the pies were out of the oven already for a bit.…


  • Some Thankgiving Feast Prep

    Yesterday I blanched the green beans in prep for the green bean casserole for our Thanksgiving Day Meal. I use some gourmet-ish type that Costco is selling now, fresh, trimmed, cleaned, packed in a bag they say “can be microwaved as is to cook the beens”. Not my style, not possible anyhow, as we don’t…


  • Kitchen Tales Update

    Following up on the previous post … The sink is hooked up and things are getting into better order. It’s nice to have the sink and that counter space in a different position. The counter is to the right of the stove, and that makes for something I’ve never had before here, counter next to…


  • Kitchen Tales

    Yesterday DH started doing more of our kitchen re-model, and is finishing, hopefully, the plumbing today. It’s a temporary/permanent change. The sink/counter/cabinet lower section is now on the opposite side of the kitchen, so it’s flipped from how it was positioned originally, but down a few feet towards the other end of the kitchen. It’s…


  • Roasty Toasty

    The Autumn chill has decended. I made a fire yesterday afternoon, it got just a tad too chilly in the main living space. The temperature overnight this, past night, went below freezing, and a fire in the fireplace first thing was definitely in order this bright morn. There’s nothing like a wood fire on a…


  • Preparing for Thanksgiving Day

    It’s just nine days now until Thanksgiving Day, the American Holiday. Next day then is Victoria’s b-day. It’s always something like this, her’s just before, on, or just after. I do want to get her stuff wrapped up and totally planned out today or tomorrow, and then plot out Thanksgiving fully. For me the Thanksgiving…

      Hi there. 🙂 I’m not sure I have your name right — Is it Marysue? I remember you used to comment at Carmon’s a lot, then I didn’t see you for a long time and now you’re back.

      This is off-topic, but poking around your site I see that you are quite the Metal Mama! Have you ever heard of Pastor Bob Beeman and Sanctuary, The Rock and Roll Refuge? Just curious.

      Ruthanne, call me Marysue, or Maisy.

      Thanks for the title upgrade, Metal Mama 😉

      I have heard of Bob Beeman, but haven’t had more contact with the name more than a bit of familiarity in the context you introduced it, if that makes sense. [Of course I Googled for info and have more of a clue about it all!]

      As in all things, I feel so unworthy looking at things from my perspective, I’m a Metal Mama, but not the ultimate as that name might imply to some. :veryshocked:

      I do thank you for the compliment though. I really do love intense music!

      Thanks for stopping by! I’m in the process of merging my other blog into this one, and I’ll concentrate more on posting here. I’ve not posted much anywhere, here or there or elsewhere, the last few months, topics haven’t been too word-prompting for me. FWIW.


  • Changes Beginning

    I have decided to change some of my websites, and through that idea THIS blog will change, I am merging details from another blog into this one as well as actual posts. The posts will come in the next week or so, hopefully, as I weed through them and spiffy up categories before importing them.…


  • www gone

    I had my options for this site to use both “www” and not use it to work … so anyone could come here with or without it and get to the right page. In WP I had it set to use the “www.” It worked mostly all the time, until recently I just can’t get…
