So, I recently took a trip to Walden Pond by way of Boston, which also inspired me to try making a Boston Cream Pie. What does it say that that my mind linked their "coastlines?"

Saving S.O.S.
Have you ever embarked on an adventure, a goal or a task, only to realize early on (but too late to turn back), "Uh-oh. This isn't going to turn out well?" As my readership is a bit fractured these days, let me relate a bit to my various followers: * To my adventurous, "outdoors" readers: … Continue reading Saving S.O.S.
Fill in the Blanks
Please pick a president; all most will do. Today's their Day! Have fun and celebrate! It's best we carpe diem (Who knows? You!) Before they have a "(name a scandal)-gate." ~ Camp Host Chad Happy President's Day!
Year 1: Launch!
Hi! (insert nervous smile here) I haven't posted in a while... OK, OK. I haven't posted in 2024. So what! What's it to you? Oh, you were just worried? (shy smile) Thank you! So then what's my excuse? My "best" one? Well, I either started an all-consuming job, survived a car accident that upended my … Continue reading Year 1: Launch!
“Pumpkin WHAT?!”
Before we talk about this.... We first need to need to establish two things. I made mini pumpkin pies before Thanksgiving, in a cute Mini Pie Maker I got for my birthday. I made deviled eggs (*two ways) to take to Thanksgiving dinner as an appetizer. Why is that important? Because to understand why I … Continue reading “Pumpkin WHAT?!”
Campfire Cocktail, Anyone?
Have you ever smoked (applied smoke to) gin, put it in a dark place to age, forgot about it for a year, and then when you found it, realized you were a little afraid to drink it? Did you wonder how to turn it into a drink, then put it over ice, and then double … Continue reading Campfire Cocktail, Anyone?

As part of my Bigfoot Fun Quest, I arranged a Bigfoot cookie baking day last year with two of my friends, fully intending to post the photos here, and then ruminate a little about Bigfoot. And then I forgot to … Continue reading Cookies Tell Stories: Find Your Tribe
Fun With Bigfoot
A few years ago, I got a little obsessed with Bigfoot. Not in a, "Real vs. Not Real" way; more like, "Let's have fun!" Don't worry, I wasn't all, "Knock knock! Anybody home?" (Well, OK. maybe I did. But definitely not again after that second time.) ME: "Hello? Mr. Bigfoot, are you in here?" A … Continue reading Fun With Bigfoot
Not That Kind of Strike
This statue recently reminded me of a time in my life when (it seemed) everything took three tries. When he calls "Strike!" he apparently doesn't mean gold, he means, "The Bigfoot museum is CLOSED! Try again the next time you are passing through." I named the Strike Miner "Rusty." Here's what he's really thinking about.
The Atom Between Red and Green
Quick! Consume this itty-bitty science-filled quote — like a smart pill! — and then we'll talk about something more fun: goals! (It might help if you hold your breath until it's over; you'll read faster.) All the green in the planted world consists of these whole, rounded chloroplasts wending their way in water. If you … Continue reading The Atom Between Red and Green
