After perfection

If you have ever watched a child do a job that was just a little bit out of their ability, then you might understand the frustration of perfectionists watching someone do a job improperly. I admit, I am not – by any stretch of the imagination – a perfectionist. However, I can sympathize a littleContinue reading “After perfection”

Becoming Good Ground

Springtime has quickly replaced fall as my favorite season, because I love to see the new life that arrives with spring.

Aluminum cans, grocery store plastic bags, orange peels, screws and nails, cardboard boxes, old electricalContinue reading “Don’t Throw That Away!”

Yesterday before I ran out the door for work I started a soup usingContinue reading “Stuffed Mushrooms”
