A Watched Pot Doesn't Boil ... Or Does It?

Sometimes it's the little things in life that make one say, "Hot damn! How cool is that!"
Like an electric tea pot. Or, more specifically, my new Capresso H2O Plus, glass, cordless, safety kettle.
Gone are the days of going to the creek for water, building up the fire and waiting for the pot to boil.
Okay, I never had to go to a creek or even prime a well. And, while as a Girl Scout I built a pretty good fire, the flames were better suited for making S'mores than boiling water.  In all honesty the only water I boil is for tea. It's not that big a deal. What is a big deal, is the fact that I often turn on the wrong burner.   I've been known to turn the back burner up to high, under the empty tea kettle. Maybe others have done  have done something similar ... once. Let me just say I've done it more than that.

Out with the old and in with the new.
Even though it wasn't my birthday when the postman delivered a box from Amazon, I couldn't wait to rip into it. Anything from Amazon is a treat. You know I did the happy dance when I saw what was in the box. Thank you Weneki. And then I turned it on. OMG. I swear it boiled water in just a couple minutes.  Check this out.



Today, I noticed that how quickly I can go from ho hum to woohoo.
Merry ME

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur
