TLC Chicken Spaghetti
There are many versions of this recipe out there but this is mine, adapted from one I found at Taste of Home. Our boys added the “TLC” moniker, an abbreviation for the “tender, loving care” they claim is baked “right in.” TLC Chicken Spaghetti is a “go-to” dish to bring to the bereaved, give to [...]
My Dentist watches “The Bachelor”
My Dentist watches the “Bachelor” and it kind of freaks me out. Its bad enough he talks to me when his knuckles are back at my molars, but about “the Bachelor,” really? I admit I’ve watched but I soon grew weary of the roses, the tears, the “connections” and the “most dramatic” everything. Y-a-w-n. The [...]

Four hundred children and a crop in the field
Poor Kenny; ole Lucille picked a fine time to leave him, didn’t she? Except for the fact that the song lyrics were actually, “four hungry children and a crop in the field.” I remember riding my 5 speed along a dirt country road, my face in the wind, braids in my hair, and belting out [...]
How do you “be” vulnerable?
Recently, I was given the advice to try being vulnerable with an added footnote of ” … it might be good for you.” Me. Be needy-er. To let others take care of me. Do less … let others do more … and be all right with it. Great advice, except for one little thing: I. [...]
