The fun begins here...

Welcome to this blog.
I love history, cooking from all over the world, learning and making the world a better place. I have worked in the field of communication for over 35 years trying to understand what makes people think and create their understanding of reality.

I am an ordinary woman. I have a husband, children, grandchildren and 2 cats. I live in a 1933 Craftsman home on a 1 acre farmette that was built by my husband's grandfather. We inherited lots of history, and lots of junk. We have been cleaning for nearly 10 years and are not done yet.
It has changed my views on what I want and need. Now, stuff is stuff; I find great satisfaction in family, friends and experiences, and more than ever see abundance as my reality.

I work very part time, volunteer for a variety of non-profits, and participate in local politics. I am in a graduate program in communications. I am an adjunct professor for a private university in communications. I am a Red Hat Lady. Life is good. I have 3 grandsons who adore me, have a garden and a yard with raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and rhubarb, and have planted many vegetables for the upcoming growing season.

I hope to share ideas and fun finds from the food and history I find.
That's all for now. Nice to make your acquaintance.
