tUeSDAY tUNeS: SIN TI, SIN Mí

 tUESDAY tUNES : SIN TI , SIN Mí (Without You, Without Me) by Los Miranda, a Mexican vocal group made up of four siblings. They have a wonderful, tight sound and a great repertoire of boleros and other Latin styles."


Every time I hear them, I wonder what it must have been like to grow up in such a musical family...

MONDAY MUSINGS :FOILED AGAIN...

MONDAY MUSINGS of "Foiled Again" should have been last week's entry, as it is exactly why I didn't have time to write. I wouldn't say I'm a procrastinator until it's time for really deep cleaning.  Fortunately, Spring cleaning coincides with Passover when I have no other choice. 

Passover has many more storage bins than Chanuka because I do use different dishes and storage containers. They all need to be brought in from their home in the storage area behind the carport. Then, cabinet shelves need to be cleared for all the Kosher for Passover dry foodstuff. Rearranging freezer and fridge space is also part of the process, add to that cleaning out silverware drawers,  ( How do those food crumbs get in those drawers when only clean silverware is ever put in there? )

Anyhoo, I was behind. My counters needed to be prepped if the week's food prep was going to happen. Yes, Passover actually lasts an entire week. Some folks cover their countertops with contact paper but I still use the old way of using aluminum foil. I upcycle it afterwards for the grill, oven, and toaster oven catch trays, etc...

Everything has to come off the counters in order to apply the foil. But the finished result is very fulfilling. It has gotten a workout already and it will take a lot less time to remove it Thursday.  So you see "foiled again" takes on a whole new meaning in my household.

TBT: PROOF 'S IN THE PUDDING

 TBT: 7 years ago, my next-door neighbor caught this pic... Here are his words: Patrick Bosley Beausoleil is with Karen Sherman.

And now you see the meteorological support for Karen Sherman's moniker of The Rainbow Valley! This is Gail Hartel Beausoleil's and my backyard. Just caught this six minutes ago before it dissipated. The right side of this rainbow terminates at the Balto/Sherman domicile! Love this stuff!

And also additional proof that a lot can happen in our lifetime...

TBT: 6 years ago... COVID CHANGES OUR WORLD

 TBT :  It was just 6 years ago when our worlds changed ... It was a blessing to live where we lived a natural isolation in the back of a valley. Natureman could receive his chemo and return to our mask-free world called home in the woods...  the End of the Rainbow Valley...
