I just killed ANOTHER cucumber. I would post a picture of the victim but it is just too gory! I love them (especially the little midget or pickling cucumbers). I will buy a four pack of these tiny things and inevitably I will have to throw one or more away before I can…

MISSING THE PARTY
I had French onion soup tonight along with a fresh-baked French baguette from Costco. ….and I cried. We have a “beater” refrigerator on the back deck that we bought for $40 two years ago. We used it for storing all the extra produce we got from the garden, plus holding our extra freezer items…

In making some changes to my homeowner’s insurance to save hundreds of dollars, I had to have a monitored security system. After doing some research, I went with SimpliSafe. Their package…
