Growing Up In BanderaOne of the pleasures of growing older is utilizing the tools I have collected over the years due to a never ending list of honey do projects. I unloaded almost everything related to plumbing after I retired and only kept a few basic tools. After 45-plus years I figured I had done my share. Any plumbing around our place is now done by the younger folks in the family and supervision being my only participation.

This waltz down memory lane comes straight out of an ancient Betty Crocker Cookbook published in 1961 that landed on my desk at work just the other day. I never got past Page 5 which is entitled, “Kitchen Know-How.” Here’s Betty’s hints for you homemakers out there.

The View From Dry Creek HillA cat took refuge from the bitter cold this February and became my office cat. She’s sitting on the windowsill watching the deer and the birds this morning. The windows are open and we’re both enjoying the air and the view. If either one of us sneezes or coughs it’s only the pollen reminding us how nature works. I’m OK with that, and the cat doesn’t seem to care either.
