I had a relative who raised horses. Many times I watched him place a feed bag onto the horses. I had not idea that I would have to wear something similar one day.

“Hello, Dear Reader.” Actually, I would be more hopeful to say, “Hello, Dear Readers!” I hope there are more than one of you out there.
Many times I approach writing, as Mark Twain prolifically stated, “. . . like an envelope without any address . . .” This state is commonly called “writer’s block,” and at times it seems I have enough blocks to build a high wall. Though it might take longer, it is easier to put thoughts into words. Writing leaves lots of room for correction, though public speaking is unforgiving. I have to either speak or write, for I’m like the man Billy Wilder noted had Van Gogh’s ear for music.

Is there some leftover cooked spaghetti all alone and neglected in the fridge? Make this recipe. Spaghetti fries op nicely. Fix it instead of potatoes for supper tonight.

Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea) is a small plant that’s possibly in your yard but keeps a low profile so you may not know it. But if you’re ever mowing and suddenly pick up on a minty smell, then you for sure have it. The plant is worth a close look, for its petite bloom and leaves are striking. It has been given many names over the years, including Creeping Charlie, Crow-Victuals, and Gill-Over-The-Ground.

The shoulder is the third most commonly treated part of the body for chiropractors (after the lower back and the neck). As with any part of the body, the shoulder can become painful as a result of wear and tear over time, or as the result of a trauma, like a car accident or a fall. Shoulder pain often begins in the cervical spine, the upper portion of the spine. The nerves that control the hands, arms and shoulders pass through that section of the spine.

Unlike my mother, I am not a shoe connoisseur. She has always been very particular about her shoes. First, they have to perfectly match what she is wearing. Second, they have to fit the setting she will be in. For instance, there were certain shoes that were only fit for church or the funeral home. Third, they always had to be clean and in pristine condition.

Here is a good meatless Mexican recipe to try. Beans were used instead of ground beef. Anyway, it is tasty.
Soak beans overnight. The next morning, add ginger and bring to a boil in soaking water. Cook over low heat for 2 hours or until skins pop. When beans are tender, there should be so little water that it seemed to have been all absorbed. Gently mash beans with potato masher so about half the beans are mashed ...
