Whomever thought I couldn’t be domesticated, may have another thought coming. I turned a big heaping bowl of prickly pear tunas into 12 beautiful jars of tasty jelly. On top of that, I even cleaned up after myself. One caveat to all that. Just because you have on a pair of thick dishwashing rubber gloves doesn’t mean you can’t still get stickers in your fingers. Please forgive me. It’s not exactly like I did it all by myself. I did consult with Madeline to be sure I was headed in the right direction. Just so I’m perfectly clear.

As we were sitting on the front porch this afternoon, with son Mike and Gail, the subject of the importance of electricity came up. I just made the comment “if we think people were upset not being able to buy toliet paper just wait until all the electric power goes off !” Mike says hey y’all should watch this TV Show that he and Gail are just starting to rewatch – The Last Man on Earth. Since we are looking for something entertaining I said we would try it out. Not wanting to commit to something misrable, I decided to … Continue reading I live in a perpetural world of confusion
