This week a friend of mine brought me some fresh made raspberry jam, from berries in her own garden. She stood there as I dipped my finger in and tasted it. It was to die for! To-die-for is popular American hyperbole dates from the late 20th century and means that something is so amazing that … Continue reading To die for
Have you ever had a close call, one where it happened so fast, your life did not have even have a chance to pass before your eyes? Well I did on Thursday. My husband left at 7:30 in the morning to drive over and pick up a load of feed, He was not due back … Continue reading Close call
I was thinking of making the title of this post, “Clouds of Doom” like the picture with this post, but thought better of it.

They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over … Continue reading Scorpions
I got a telemarketer who called my office so good the other day! He started reading from his script, very monotone in his speech, and then asked if the owner was there. I replied, “Yes I am, and I did the job exactly as you told me to, but there's blood everywhere! What do you … Continue reading Dead weight
I had a conversation with a lady recently that really made me think. She mentioned how when she received a bad health diagnosis, the nurse in the room came up to her and put her arm around her.
