what's cooking?

I started out as a broadcast journalist, but fate took its course when I literally fell in love at first sight with my husband of 43 years. I then taught school, of various subjects and age groups and now write about food, health, humor and life.

And the Wind Blows

Last week had me announcing that Fall had finally arrived here in the desert.  It was cold! And the wind was howling! Plus, the girls refused to go out for a walk until I put their coats on.

This week, we were back in the 90s with slight breezes.  Absolutely gorgeous weather.

The problem with these weather snaps is that with my incredibly bad spine also snaps!

While I am still carrying on with the morning walks with the girls and water aerobics, it's taking me quite a while to get moving. There are not enough lidocaine patches or Pennsaid gel to help in my pursuit of walking without cringing.

What I do really love about this time of year is that we can finally open up the back door and let some fresh air in! Right now it is 8:00 AM and it is a perfect 75. I don't have to worry about the air conditioner coming on And I can enjoy having something other than re circulating air that has been cooled by coils.

We only get to do this briefly around here. Right now in the middle of fall and again for a couple of weeks in the spring.

So while I am fetching About the state of my back I am still enjoying life.
