Feed the Birds

Do you remember that song from “Mary Poppins?” The one about the old woman who sits on the steps to the cathedral and feeds the birds? She asks others to feed them too. She will provide the food for a small fee (a tuppence) and we can help her to take care of the lessContinue reading “Feed the Birds”

A New Ingredient

I discovered a new ingredient today. Not that I have not used this spice in the past (usually in tuna!) but today I was told how good it is with beef. I had never imagined putting it on beef! So, what is this new ingredient? Why, it’s dill, sometimes known as dill weed. I noticedContinue reading “A New Ingredient”

Deeeeep Thoughts

Does anyone else remember the segment on Saturday Night Live entitled “Deep Thoughts”? I remember this segment fondly, though it seems few others do. It was a nonsensical segment with quotes from Jack Handy (Oh my goodness! I just got that joke!!!) relating to life in all its strangeness.

I Walked Along a Winding Road

I walk along the winding road I cannot see the end This road is like my life, I think, I can’t see ’round the bend. Life is like that winding road, All valleys, rocks, and hills. Who are we to know the path That leads ’round the wondering rills? Some day our roads will comeContinue reading “I Walked Along a Winding Road”
