JUST SIMPLE SOMETHINGS

Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

2021-11-15T08:17:00.000-05:00

The town has been called the "Switzerland of America" due to the picturesque scenery, mountainous location, and architecture; as well as the

"Gateway to the Poconos."

Jim Thorpe was founded in 1818 as Mauch Chunk...a name derived from the term Mawsch Unk (Bear Place) in the language of the native Munsee-Lenape Delaware peoples.

Everyone was decorated for Halloween and Fall!

"The Inn at Jim Thorpe"

Thorpe was the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States in the Olympics. Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, he won two Olympic gold medals in the 1912 Summer Olympics (one in classic pentathlon and the other in decathlon). He also played American football (collegiate and professional), professional baseball, and basketball.

This opera house is still in use!

I just loved the gingerbread detail on this house! The window boxes were brimming over with flowers, greens, and pumpkins!

Thanks for taking the trip with me...

EVERYTHING BAGEL RECIPE

2021-02-22T11:52:00.001-05:00

low carb/keto EVERYTHING BAGEL RECIPE

A delicious everything bagel that is low carb using just cheese, eggs, and everything bagel seasonings for a filling low carb/keto bagel.

PREP TIME -2 minutes

COOK TIME -15 minutes

TOTAL TIME -17 minutes....yield 6

INGREDIENTS

· 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, any kind of cheese that melts well. (I use bagged)

· 1/2 cup GRATED parmesan, or Asiago, other hard, dry, grated cheese. ( I grate Asiago. It's a stronger cheese but I like the flavor it adds.)

· 2 eggs

· 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Combine the shredded cheese and egg in a bowl and mix it until the ingredients are fully combined.

3. Divide the mixture equally into six parts and press into a well-greased donut pan.

NOTE: 2nd time, I made them bigger, I got five)

4. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the tops of the egg and cheese mixture.

5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese has fully melted and created a slight brown crust.

6. IMPORTANT: when you are ready to eat them, slice, toast, and let them sit for a few minutes to crisp up. They slice very well.

Let them cool before removing them from the pan to prevent sticking.

NOTE: Feel free to mix up your cheese selection - but stick with one grated hard, dry cheese (like parmesan or Asiago) to keep the flour-like texture. I store them in the fridge in a quart freezer bag. They are great for breakfast sandwiches...just add one fried egg and your choice of meat.

Visiting Mayberry

2021-01-31T07:30:00.000-05:00

Mount Airy is the childhood home of the late Andy Griffith. I don't think there's a baby boomer in the country that hasn't seen every episode of the "Andy Griffth Show" airing from 1960 to 1968.
Some time ago, on our way to the beach, we stopped at Mount Airy, North Carolina. A cute little town that makes you think that you've been transported to Mayberry.

Floyd's Barber Shop - You can get your haircut while you listen to Floyd's stories about Mayberry.

The Snappy Lunch - Where Andy and Barnie would grab lunch. But you can too! They are famous for the pork chop sandwich with chili, cole slaw, mustard, onion and tomato on top!

Wally's service station where Goober worked.

Sheriff Taylor's desk...

and the jail cell where Ottis spent many a night!

Take a tour of the town in a police car...

You can even stay overnight in Andy's childhood home!

"Mayberry days" take place every September in Mt. Airy. This year's special guest was actress Betty Lynn, age 91, better known as Thelma Lou...Barney's girlfriend on the show!

Check out the website!

Have any of you been to Mt. Airy, North Carolina?

I always have Kielbasa in my freezer for a quick meal. If I'm having a busy day or I'll be getting home late it's a sure winner! It thaws quickly and can be used in so many recipes. I sometimes pair it with sauerkraut or with cabbage...

Pretty Painted Ladies

2020-07-06T10:26:00.002-04:00

Along the way, I have photographed many beautifully restored and preserved old victorian homes. I refer to them as "Painted Ladies", a term often used to describe their color schemes. This is one I found recently in the next county and I believe it's a bed and breakfast.

Some are small...

But still beauties!

What a job it would be to paint one of these! I would be afraid I would get confused about which color for which detail and have to do a lot of repainting!! lol

SOMETHING TO PONDER

2020-06-19T15:45:00.001-04:00

SOMETHING TO PONDER — an essay by George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more but learn less. We plan more but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight or to just hit delete.

Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

Easiest furniture redo ever

2020-05-17T10:53:00.001-04:00

About eight years ago, I decided I needed to replace my dining room furniture. The china cabinet and table were purchased back in 1982, soon after we were married. We used the table practically every day and it was showing plenty of wear. It didn't take long in my search to discover that china cabinets were a thing of the past. They had been replaced with low buffet - type liquor cabinets. After all, I don't think new brides are interested in using fine china. I used mine to display my teacup collection ( which was all the rage back then) and some pieces from my grandmother. Maybe I could just find a new table in light oak? Nope, everything in style was dark, nothing would match... now what?

I re-evaluated my china cabinet, which was still in great shape and the style was plain enough and decided to refinish it dark and buy a new table.

Now the search began for how to do that with the least effort. I had refinished a few pieces before...I remembered the endless sanding, the mess, the strong smell...

Then I found this article at Monica's blog!

She stated that you could successfully refinish a project without all the sanding and smell. Her directions were very easy to follow and plenty of the comments on her post were helpful.

https://monicawantsit.com/staining-oak-cabinets-espresso-color/

I decided to take it on. In hindsight, here are a few key things to remember:

I followed her instructions to the "T", no shortcuts. Yes, there are precise waiting periods between coats but they pay off in the end.
Using a tube sock instead of a brush was so much better! You can use your fingers to get into corners or any ornate details in the wood.
Use the product she used General Finishes... no substitutes. There are plenty of wood shades to choose from. I chose the Java shade Monica used. I only bought a quart and when I was finished, there was over half a can left. I did several other pieces before the can was empty. It really stretches! I found it at a local furniture store but I've also since purchased this brand from Amazon.
IMPORTANT: This product is only for stain over stain. I don't believe it would work over paint.

This is the dining room set when it was purchased. Light oak with a very high gloss. I lightly sanded the piece for 15 minutes to remove some gloss as instructed. If you are redoing kitchen cabinets you will need to thoroughly clean them with a degreaser. No need for heavy sanding. This is a very easy product to work with. It's a gel that sits on top and doesn't need to soak into the wood. You do not wipe it off.

After putting on thin rubber gloves, I used my hubby's old tube socks. They will reach up to your elbows and you'll be glad of that. lol

Dip into the stain and apply. I referred back to Monica's instruction many, many times to be sure I was following exactly.

Don't be discouraged at how the first coat looks, It's all going to work out...trust me.

Finished off with the General Finishes poly as suggested...

I used the same hardware because they were plain and not outdated. I gave them two coats of Rustoleum oil rubbed bronze spray paint.

Now, to purchase a table. There were plenty in a dark shade to choose from...

This is the table I chose! It's a perfect match! You would never believe that they weren't purchased together.

It's been eight years and it still looks like new. No wearing off, no fading, and the finish is scratch-resistant.

Flower Power

2020-04-26T19:41:00.000-04:00

I don't know about you but I've had my fill of this lockdown. Even though I have plenty of hobbies to keep me busy, the monotony of every day repeating itself is driving me crazy. I feel like I'm trapped in the "Groundhog Day" movie! So I'm going to think good thoughts about Summer and my flower beds and how much I enjoy tending them.
Here's some shots from previous years...

I hope you enjoyed your visit!

An Amish Gathering

An Amish gathering in a home to worship on a chilly, Sunday morning. The Amish don't gather in a church building because they believe that they don't have to. They believe God can be worshipped anywhere and consider their daily lives part of worship.

A visit from the Easter Bunny...

2020-04-09T13:40:00.001-04:00

This is our first great-grandbaby, Luke. It's his first Easter and that's his Grandma in the Bunny suit!

She keeps him a couple days through the week when they are working. She is off work for two days and she has been visiting the homes of her co-workers and the kids can see her out the windows (social distancing). When it gets dark, she comes back and hides plastic eggs in the yard so that they will be able to have an egg hunt on Easter morning! Today is her birthday and this is how she's spending it!

Stuffed Omelet

2020-04-06T13:12:00.002-04:00

With everyone across the nation at home on lockdown, this is a great time to try new recipes. That is as long as you have the ingredients on hand. It's not so easy to just run out to the market on the spur of the moment these days. We have decided to only shop every 10 days and check that list twice.

It's a good time to use up the stock in your pantry.

I've been making breakfast omelets:

Recipe:

Melt a teaspoon of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Whip two eggs with a teaspoon of water for each omelet. pour in the skillet and spread to cover the bottom. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cover with a lid.

When the egg is cooked, add your filling. We prefer sliced pepperoni and shredded cheddar cheese because we always have it on hand but you could use anything...sausage, ham, shredded beef, or vegetables, any type of cheese...anything works!

After filling, use a large spatula to flip the first side. Hold with the spatula for a few seconds to help the melting cheese hold it in place. Then flip the second side to the center...add the lid for a second or two to heat through..

Plate it up and add some salsa, if desired, to top it off!

So easy but so good!

Sedona Arizona Memory

2020-03-23T11:26:00.001-04:00

Last October, I went to Arizona to visit a dear friend that was terminally ill. Her last wish was to take a trip up to Sedona for the day. Her son was happy to take us and it was a wonderful day.

For lunch, we visited the Tlaquepaque Shopping Village and after a short stroll, we had lunch in an authentic Mexican restaurant....yummy

I have wonderful memories of that day! ♥

Last fall, the Mister and I, took a trip to Virginia. Before spending a few days at the beach, we visited some interesting small towns. One was Harrisonburg, Virginia. It's the home of the White Oak Lavender Shop and Gardens... field after field of wonderfully scented lavender and beautiful color.

They have a gift shop, winery, and interactive gardens.

They sell EVERYTHING lavender.... beautiful lavender - themed gifts...

Ham, Potatoes and Cabbage

2020-01-18T21:00:00.001-05:00

We had a very large ham this Christmas and there was plenty leftover. I froze the ham bone and extra ham to make a favorite dish of ours. My family has made this for a long as I can remember...

Ham, Potatoes, and Cabbage
Put the ham bone into a large soup pot. Fill the pot about half full with water. Heat the water to a rolling boil so that any ham left on the bone will cook-off. Add half of a medium onion... chopped.

Boil for 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the bone and pull off any remaining ham with a fork. Discard the bone and put the remaining ham back into the pot.

Add about 6 large quartered potatoes. I used red ones because that's what I had on hand. Cook until potatoes are tender... then add half a head of cabbage... chopped in large pieces... and a bag of frozen green beans.

Hubby likes a thicker broth so I sprinkle in some instant mashed potatoes. (great as a thickener for soups and stews).

Make sure you make enough for leftovers because it's always better the second day after the flavors mingle!... Enjoy!
