Finding my way as an empty nester. Saturday, July 31, 2010. Here comes the tomatoes! Every morning I water the garden and scan the tomato plants. We've got a bonanza of flowers, and the fruit is coming in slowly. This morning I was thrilled to spot a flash of red deep inside one of the plants (specifically on our heirloom Surpice). Now I don't put my hand inside of any of the plants - it's too risky. I might come in contact with a spider, or (god forbid) a slug. Can't wait for the rest of them to arrive!

A Life Content: Home Made Tortillas
http://mysimplycomfortablelife.blogspot.com/2011/06/home-made-tortillas.html
Finding my way as an empty nester. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. I love flour tortillas, Paul loves corn, and since I do the shopping guess which one we usually have in our fridge? Lately we've been eating corn tortillas. I don't know what it is about commercial corn tortillas, but they suck! So I decided to make my own. I went to my computer, typed corn tortillas and viola! 2,150,000 entries just waiting for me to view: definitions, images, recipes, blogs, videos - amazing! Corn Tortillas (makes 8 tortillas).

Finding my way as an empty nester. Thursday, March 8, 2012. Sometimes the laundry is just the laundry. However, I found that I could ignore it. Not only ignore it - I could come to resent it, loathe it, and make it the poster child for everything wrong with my life! There are three other people (men! In this house, and they bore brunt of my fierce, albeit silent, resentment. How can they miss the big blue clothes basket filled with their clothes! They weren't even mine! Why do I have to take care of them?

Finding my way as an empty nester. Sunday, June 26, 2011. June 26th: Where were you 12 years ago? So last night we're talking with my mom on the phone as we're heading home from the Urban Arts Festival, and all of a sudden I ask them what the date is. They tell me it's the 25th, and I turned to Paul and asked if he knew what tomorrow was. He said, "Sunday? And I start laughing when I say, yeah, but it's also our wedding anniversary - we forgot all about it! Tuesday, June 21, 2011. The ingredients are so ...

Finding my way as an empty nester. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Cut it off, Missy! A couple months ago I posted a list. Of things I want to do before I turn 50. Well, today I get to cross an item off the list - I had my hair cut super short! Had the honor of cutting off my ragged mane of hair. I sent her pictures of what I was looking for, but other than that it was up to her to create a style for me. She said it was the most fun she's had in a while. Along with my new hairstyle (which I love!

A Life Content: A Hothouse Update
http://mysimplycomfortablelife.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-hothouse-update.html
Finding my way as an empty nester. Monday, June 23, 2014. A few weeks ago I wrote about building a hothouse for my hot peppers, (you can read about it here. And thought it was about time for an update. I've been monitoring three jalapeno plants. One plant I put in the hothouse that I built, one I placed in the commercial hothouse, and the other I left out in the open. They all started out around 8 1/2" tall. The plant on the left was kept outside in the elements. The plant in the middle was stored in...

Finding my way as an empty nester. Thursday, March 8, 2012. I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've posted anything. I've been busy, and could have blogged about many things but for some reason I didn't. Well that's not entirely true. I know I didn't because I'm pretty sure no one is reading my blog so I thought why go through all the trouble? So what have I been up to? Okay, so that's about it for the catch-up. Talk to you soon!

A Life Content: Alex, a Strawberry Field, and Freezer Jam
http://mysimplycomfortablelife.blogspot.com/2014/06/alex-strawberry-field-and-freezer-jam.html
Finding my way as an empty nester. Sunday, June 8, 2014. Alex, a Strawberry Field, and Freezer Jam. Saturday morning was bright, sunny, and warm. A perfect day to pick strawberries! We invited our grand-nephew Alex, and his parents, to come along. Alex just turned two, and he loves to do tasks! At home he makes his own bed, feeds the dogs, and picks up his own toys - can you believe it? I don't know if he's telling me to clean his hands, or stop taking pictures! Look at that beauty! It was a great day at...

Finding my way as an empty nester. Monday, September 20, 2010. Lunch Date with Paul. Poor Paul worked all weekend from home. He stayed home today to finish some reports, and I've been on my best behavior not to distract him (which is really hard since it's a rare treat to have him to myself all day). I managed to sneak into the kitchen to make him a nice lunch - grilled tuna and cheese with tomato soup. From startcooking.com which they adapted from Cook's Illustrated. 4 tbsp olive oil. 1 tbsp brown sugar.
