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.

Recovery Takes Its Toll

Travel recovery is getting harder as I get older.

Poor Steve wound up going back to the doctor's because he started wheezing-really bad!  Wheezing is usually my domain but I began using my inhaler right after we came home.

We both felt pretty awful. Just couldn't seem to wake up or feel "right".

At least I had the ability to rest. Our younger brands were with us but are always willing to help.

Somehow we managed to host Mother's Day. Girls brought a couple of side dishes. We smoked a lot of pork shoulder! We obviously also supplied buns, Cole slaw, drinks, etc.

We started early. Everyone went home by 6.  

No lie-finished cleaning up, emptied and restacked a second load in the dishwasher, decided at 8 p.m. I needed to go to bed!

We realized this past Sunday that we both were not feeling like something that belonged in the garbage. 

Sigh, three weeks and one day!

It was a fabulous trip!  In fact, we both agreed that even though normalcy to come back took longer than the trip, we'd do it again.
