“Well, that took forever.” I grumbled as I lifted the eight bags of groceries hanging from my arms, and placed them on the counter. “Are they’re any more in the car?” Steven asked as he headed for the front door. “Nope.” I rubbed the spots where the bags had dug into my arms. “You knowContinue reading “DINNER INSPIRATION”

I came into the house tossed my shopping bag on the couch and plopped down next to it. “Worst shopping trip ever!” I cried as Steven came into the room.

Steven came into the kitchen, “Something sure smells good!” he leaned over my shoulder to see what was cooking. “The roast has been in the oven since three.” I lifted the lid and peeked into the pot. “These potatoes should be ready to mash in a few minutes. Then I’ll make some gravy from theContinue reading “DINNER FOR TWO”

All day long I’d been looking forward to climbing into bed to start the new book I’d just gotten. It was by one of my favorite authors.

It was first thing in the morning and Steven and I were sitting at the kitchen table. He had his cup of coffee while I drank my tea. “Yuck.” I said after taking a sip. “This tastes awful.” I put my cup down. “What’s wrong with it?” “I don’t know.
