  When he was alive, my brother was a foodie.  He loved to eat.  Even as a kid he wasn't afraid to explore new things.  Once when we were on vacation at Skytop , he ordered sweet breads.  He knew that they were not bread.  He knew what they were and he went for it.   He loved the dining experience.  As an adult, he took his wife to Victoria & Alberts , an exclusive restaurant at the Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World.  They would eat their way around the world at Epcot . So you get the idea that he liked to eat.  He also liked to cook.  I think the only time my husband had turducken was when my brother made it at Thanksgiving time,  (Remember, I can't each any poultry due to food allergies and even being in a room with poultry that is being cooked can make it difficult for me to breathe.) His love of good food and cooking started at a young age.  And when he was still young he got a copy of The Frugal Go...

  I'm a reader.  I often write about what I read.  For years I've done a "Best Books I Have Read This Year" post both here and on  https://myveronanj.com/ .  I undertook a project back in 2015 (how can that be over 10 years ago?) where I read as many of the Pulitizer Prize winning books for fiction as I could find. (There were plenty that I couldn't find.)  At the time there were 89 books that were on the list, I read 58 with an additional 8 that I didn't because I had previously read them (such as  Gone with The Wind  and my all-time favorite,  To Kill a Mockingbird ).  It took me over a year to complete, and I had to give myself some breaks because it was quite overwhelming.  (My wrap up can be found  here ) At the beginning of this year, a friend had taken a challenge to read a number of books that corresponded with her time on this planet.  Example, if a person turned 30 they would read 30 books.  The true chall...

 Renaming places seems to be a "thing" these days.  So I thought I'd join in the fun because my thoughts and opinions certainly count as much as the next persons.  I also wanted these names to be "correct," meaning they'd tell the truth (as I see it).  So below see a map of part of Washington, DC.  Each lettered place has been renamed by me.   A = The White RACIST/RAPIST House B = The Reflecting Pool that the liar ruined C = The BEST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT Lincoln Memorial D =  The Grounds ruined by a trashy "party" E =  The Golden Guilded mess of a room F = The trash patio formerly known as the Rose Garden G = The Washington Monument: he (supposedly) couldn't tell a lie; does anyone even know what truth is anymore? H = NOT a shopping Mall; the National Mall for ALL people, except for... I = The United States Museum of IT DID Happen  because the Holocaust is was a real thing even if you try to deny it J:  Smithsonian Museum and F you ...

  ...we did a thing.  I wrote about it last year:   https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2025/08/its-been-one-year.html .   And now it's two years. So you think I'd know it all by now. 2 years in this house, on this property, and there are still questions! There are still things I don't know! One of which being how to turn on the giant light in front of the detached garage. I have no idea which switch might turn it on. I have no idea because I don't know if the light fixture actually works. And another switch that I figured out turned on an outside light on the side now no longer works; is it the bulb or the switch. I should know, but I don't.  I still don't know what to do with all of the space for the detached garage. Should I try and make it a game room type place? A man cave? A she shed? All that would cost money which I don't have. Plus it's not that easy to access when it's cold and there's snow on the ground. I still don't know w...

The other day singer-songwriter, country legend, Dolly Parton died. The news was devastating to her family, friends and fans, but also to countless other people around the world who didn’t actually know here. The world will never forget Dolly    I was quite devastated by the news. I do like her music and some of her films. (Steel Magnolias and my favorite, 9 to 5 ), but that wasn't why I was so upset. It wasn't why so many people all over the world are filled with sorry. We could appreciate her music and we could appreciate our incredible talent, but what drew us in was not that. It was her not the big hair or the long nails. Not the “boobs” or the clothing that she wore, but who she truly was. Who she truly seemed to be was a good person (not a perfect person because nobody is).   She was a loving, caring, compassionate, human being.    Based on what she said during her lifetime to me she was a true Christian. It doesn't matter to me if she ever set a foot...

  Eggs Fish Chipmunks Liz Skunk Poultry Mom Maelstrom Horizons BS Muppets Bees UoE Bethers Shellfish Rabbit     Have you been frustrated by Connections recently?   Or maybe not even so recently. (I thought this morning's was almost reasonable.  ALMOST!)    Hasn’t EVERYONE been frustrated?      Who hasn’t walked away thinking WTF, even after going on line for clues or hints? You are not alone.   I think we’ve all had it. Which I created Bfth Connections.   If you’ve been reading my blog or cyber stalking me (why?), this should be easy.   Or easy-ish. So go ahead a give it a try.   I’ve even given you a bit of a hint by “coloring” in one connection from each of the 4 Bfth Connections “categories”. So go for it.   Find the remaining 3 “yellow”, ...
