I'm not surprised, there is a big market. They have been on every healthy food list that I have seen for a while and there is the craze for avocado toast that started a number of years ago.

I got the second one done Tuesday of last week. Went back for a follow up yesterday and I will have to have what they call a YAG laser procedure done on at least the left eye. I go back on June 13 to see if it also needs done on the right eye. I knew going in that this could very well happen...

It's been since before the pandemic. A friend and I would go to Cheesecake Factory one afternoon a month for a slice of cheesecake. We are still friends but we just never resumed it. We are both older and were holding back after indoor dining reopened then inflation kicked in and everything...

One thing I have learned is that how much someone has materially has nothing to do with how charitable or selfless they are. I have seen people with very little but they aren't greedy and will share what little they have with someone who is in need.

Salsa I don't care for avocados.

I was in high school in the early seventies so the cool look was the hippie look. I had a couple of maxi dresses, peasant blouses and of course wire rim glasses.

The long summer break in the U.S. is a holdover from when the U.S. was primarily agrarian. Farming involved a lot more manual labor and people didn't hire someone, the family did it themselves. The kids were needed on the farm or the work didn't get done.

My first real job was the summer between high school and college. I worked as a nurse's aide in a nursing home, that was before they started the class and certification. Before that I did babysitting. I grew up on a farm so there was a lot of work during summer 'vacation'. I wasn't paid for...

I like pretty much all flowers. I think my favorites are roses, peonies, callas lilies and moth orchids.

The last time I had to have a gasket of some sort replaced was in the late 90's. That was almost $700. I am sure it would be much more now. The labor is what gets you.

Many people don't realize that hybrids often get better mileage in the city than on the highway because braking recharges the battery.

I think used would probably be the way to go, there is so much depreciation just driving a new vehicle off the lot. I think there is very little in the way of stripped-down basic models anymore. I don't know how it works in Canada but in the U.S. dealers have bought the cars that are on their...

Chocolate Chip I like all of them that are shown except possibly the Red Velvet. I have never had Red Velvet cookies but I have always thought that Red Velvet cake is highly overrated. Pretty yes, but I prefer many other cakes over Red Velvet.

I like Lysol as well. I used to get either Lysol or Clorox products, whichever was cheaper. During COVID I learned that Lysol products remain active for two years and Clorox for one year so now I usually buy Lysol.

I have done that. I learned early on that counselors use that technique for people who are prone to excessive worrying. It's a form of compartmentalization. Set aside a time every day to worry. It can be as little as 15 minutes.

Stress can take a toll on you and most of us get into bad habits with not taking care of ourselves. I got my wakeup call when I went in for my first cataract surgery and my blood pressure was higher than it had ever been. Too high to be 'white coat' hypertension. The good news is that our...

I think of them as a main dish. I haven't had them in a long time but ham and beans was a dish that was served often growing up.

Pecan and English Walnut cluster

Daffodils and Lilac
