Small Changes: Ice Cream

This is a carton of store brand vanilla ice cream. Check the ingredients. Corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup are always one to avoid. It may cost less, but junk food usually does.
This is Breyer's vanilla. There are even better choices than this one, but this will work for today. The ingredient list is a lot shorter. It has sugar instead of corn syrup and you know it tastes better.

It's ice cream season. You don't need to avoid it altogether. Have fun. Eat well. Read labels.

Remember: Just because they sell it in the store doesn't mean you should eat it.

    Ice Cream doesn't have a season at our house. Unless you want to call it the season of Wayne. Because that is every day.

    The very best ice cream is homemade!

Selling items on Craigslist and common scams

The Tool Box

I can hear my husband clanging tools around in the garage. He's going through his twenty-four year collection and putting together a tool box for our twenty-two year old son.  Gulp. When did we become parents of an adult who is able to move out and live on his own? He's coming home tomorrow to collect the furniture he's chosen from our house and some other things. He's been gone for a few years but has always come home for summer and holidays. This time it's permanent. There won't be any more summers at home. I won't have to tiptoe around while he's still sleeping. I won't have to chase him out of the shower because he's been in there for a very long time. I won't have to buy Cooper cheese or boxes of Macaroni & Cheese anymore.  The tool box Wayne is putting together for him will last him many years. He'll hang pictures, tighten bolts, and fix small accidents with it. It'll stay by his side as he begins new chapters...

Sweet Zoey

 Zoey - August 10, 2020 When we found her I didn't realize I needed her. Sure, she needed us, she was living in woods, alone, surviving on whatever she could find. She was nine months old, the vet later told me when I took her in for a check-up, still unsure I wanted to keep this undernourished mutt. We'd been on vacation in southwest Missouri, near the Arkansas border, in the middle of the woods. I was on the porch when I saw her trotting down the dirt road. A little brown dog. I whistled and she stopped to look at me from across the lawn. Then she continued on her way. Later that night, the family was watching a movie we'd brought (no cable service out there!) and suddenly this furry face popped up in the window, scaring my husband out of his seat. We fed her some people food and went to bed.  She was still there in the morning. We asked around and no one knew where she came from. We fed her some more and she stayed. The next day we went and bought some dog food, f...
