15 Things I Couldn't Live Without
Dogs – Nothing can compare to the trust and unconditional love of a dog. Having my lab snuggle up to me on the sofa is pure bliss. Spring – A time for rejuvenation, hope, and the start of good things to come. My Garden – Digging into the dirt as I kneel on the soil with nothing on my mind but the joy of more good things to come gives me a closeness to God that is... (posted by Nancy 81 days 9 hours ago.)

Breyers Ice Cream - An American Classic from 1866 to 2006
If you grow up in the Philadelphia area, there are some foods that are inbred in you: soft pretzels, hoagies, the famous Philly cheesesteak, cream dried beef, sticky buns, scrapple, Tastycakes, and, of course, Breyers ice cream. I was raised in South Jersey and contrary to popular belief, we are not part of the New York mentality. We are Philly. And, of course, I was... (posted by Nancy 82 days 2 hours ago.)

When the Truth Does Not Set You Free
I love the Geico commercial in which Mary Todd Lincoln asks Abe if her dress makes her backside look big. After several long moments in which he silently debates his response, he says, “perhaps a…” and then makes a gesture with his thumb and index finger indicating a wee bit. The truth may have been the correct answer but it definitely would not have set Honest Abe free in that instance. Should we... (posted by Nancy 107 days 9 hours ago.)

Relax and Enjoy It!
What does relaxation mean to me? Not working, not cooking, not writing – not even gardening – not doing anything that I would do in my normal day-to-day existence. I love to work, I love to cook, I love to write, and, I especially love to garden; but, I do not consider any of these things relaxing because while doing any one of those pleasurable ‘jobs,’ my mind is on what else...

In a Year from Now...
The only thing I can predict with any certainty is that in a year from now, I will be that much wiser. Note that I did not say smarter, just wiser. I am sure my life will be exactly as it is now. Aside from a few more wrinkles and a bit more sagging, I do not expect anything in my life to change. I discovered that I had wisdom when I turned 50 and was teaching my son to drive. His remarks while... (posted by Nancy 144 days 9 hours ago.)

When I Was Young, We Were Encouraged to Play
When I was a child, one of the phrases I loved hearing from my mother’s lips were the words, “Go outside and play." Four simple words. My brothers and I did not need to be told twice. We liked going outside and playing. There were always things to do. Whether it was sledding in the winter, playing ball in the spring, swimming in the summer (which included diving off a 1-meter board – Oh, My!)... (posted by Nancy 191 days 7 hours ago.)
