A Penny for Your Coffee Filter

Someone posted this list to my FB wall. I understand that you can buy scads of coffee filters at the dollar store for next to nothing. So go nuts, if you don’t mind not recycling! Here are 25 uses for coffee filters: 1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make […]

Who Put the Arch in Archangel II

Yesterday I posted about the first six of the twelve Archangels with the proviso that I usually don’t post blogs of a religious nature, however, I do make an exception for angels. Here is my post, for what it’s worth, on the last 6 of the archangels listed on the site beliefnet.com. After all, you

Too much this time…

Sometimes I have difficulty writing because I don’t have an idea. Today I have too many and I can’t make up my mind. For example: 1. The name, Cox’s Orange Pippin’,  popped into my head. I thought, OK, I can write a post on apples. A quick wikipedia search told me that there are over

It was weird. You know, here you have a day
