Sounds like Gill’s mom had a pretty nice Mother’s Day. I wouldn’t mind some of that cake myself. Remember a few months ago I asked you wonderful readers to vote on a cake that I would make for my mom as a thank you for everything she does or has done for me? Would you […]

When Will It End?
I’m glad Gill wrote this, because it’s given me the push to post a couple things that I’ve been meaning to post for a while. First, a song. And next, this essay that really scrambled up my brain as it’s intended to do. When I found it, all that was written was below the ***’s. […]
Sweet Mischief
Gill is looking for some input if anyone has any. Personally I like the sound of chocolate cherry. Normally mischief is a bad thing when it falls into the wrong hands, but if done right it can and does make someone’s day. Whether buying someone lunch or just surprising a co-worker who could use some […]
The Blue Vest Crew
Here’s Gill with an update on how life is going for her. You might have a couple of questions about this. No, I’m not joining a neighborhood street gang or secret society. I am, however, volunteering. Why The Name? The volunteers are issued navy blue vests. It’s a symbol of recognition for all volunteers throughout […]
Mildred Myrtle Ward-Ardiel June 22 1919-Jan. 22 2009
Apparently today is the tenth anniversary of the death of one of Gill’s grandmothers and she has a few words to say about it. Grandmas are the best, and I’m extremely lucky to still have one. I would like to take a moment out of the business of life to talk to you about someone […]
Since I Moved
Gill is here to let us know how things are going. the short answer is well, which is nice to hear. If you talked to me three years ago you probably would have noticed I wore a frown a lot. I was very unhappy with where I lived, and was getting more and more depressed […]
New Year’s Resolutions
Gill has a few words about making and sticking to New Year’s resolutions. I’m with her on her first point. If I bother making a resolution at all, I know that no good ever comes of aiming too high. If I get it in my head that I want to do something, I just tell […]
Making A Day Of It With Mom
Seems like Gill had a nice Christmas. I wonder if the snow scene she describes is going to inspire a quilt at some point. In the last few years I have begun to notice something beautiful. My mom and I are building a bond, and she gets me. I have talked about her in previous […]
Recipe For A Fabulous Holiday
Gill is back to share her recipe for a happy holiday season. Hers involves a lot less liquor than mine does, but it’ll work. Hi friends. It’s that time again, and one of the big things around this time is time honored recipes. They might be generations old, like your 5 times oma’s recipe for […]
Giving Back
Gill is back. To answer her question, the main thing I’m doing in the hopes of making the world a little bit better is just being myself. I’m not trying to sound egotistical, I just mean that I’m doing my best to do what I always try to do anyway regardless of where we are […]
