Funny

My iron stopped heating.  Incidents of burning myself were greatly reduced, but lack of heat is not a desirable feature in a clothes iron so I purchased a new one.

Like most irons it has a number of settings -- delicate, normal (cotton) and maximum ( jeans).
A setting for jeans!!  That made me laugh out loud and also announce to my new iron that no one irons jeans.

    I didn't think anyone even ironed anymore.

    I ironed three shirts and two JEANS yesterday.

    My best friend irons her jeans! Yep, crease and all. But she also washes fruit with soap and water.

    I iron so rarely...but poor hubby's shirts sometimes show that.

    My hubby wouldn't wear his jeans unless they had a crease. Kind of glad that went out with the divorce.

    I so rarely iron - I'd rather throw a damp towel into the dryer with the clothing for a few minutes to try to get the wrinkles out. How lazy is that?

    Though my iron did get a workout last spring when I helped my niece with a sewing project.

    Enjoy!

    Well hopefully it doesn't have a WIFI connection and an app that you can set the heat of your iron with Siri, Alexa, Cortana, or Google Assistant while flying to Florida and keep records of your ironing on the cloud. Lacking such, you can be assured that your iron has not been hacked and is overwhelming some internet source with millions of requests for the proper heat setting for Faded Glory verses True Religion. Nor will Russian hackers be able to leak your ironing quirks on Wikileaks.

    It is a very strange world we live in.

    I thought I was the only one who ironed anything anymore!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Eggplant

Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates.  Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that.  He did not eat mayonnaise.  He did not eat tomato sauce.  He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans.  He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise.  He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed,  Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week.  I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
