I will never forget Tuesday November 8, 2016. I was in the thick of my job anxiety and was burnt out and depressed most days. But that morning, I felt energized because after work, my mom and I were going to vote, and then we were going to come home, put a gluten free pizzaContinueContinue reading “A Better Government is Coming”

Incense Woman
There are several more light-hearted posts (said facetiously) about religion and politics lined up in my head that I look forward to writing, but today I thought I would give you readers a break and write about the wonderfulness of wax melts which I bought with a couple Amazon gift cards I got for ChristmasContinueContinue reading “Incense Woman”
Practical Implications of the Restoration: Part 2
This past Thanksgiving, my sister and her husband offered to host Thanksgiving because they live in the heart of New York City and ever since I was in a choir that was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in 2005, my parents and I had wanted to experience the Thanksgiving festivities in New York CityContinueContinue reading “Practical Implications of the Restoration: Part 2”
Dreaming of the Restoration
I am about to embark on what will likely be the most important blog post I ever write. Unlike most of my blog posts which have no higher purpose other than to unravel my thoughts about my own life, I sense that this post could change other people’s lives. And after this blog post, whenContinueContinue reading “Dreaming of the Restoration”
I’m Dreaming of a Good Pizza, Just Like the Ones I Used to Know
In the old days before Celiac, there was at least one night every week or two when it was a long day of school or work and we had no energy left to cook an involved dinner, a day when someone was feeling under the weather and needed quick easy comfort food, or nights whenContinueContinue reading “I’m Dreaming of a Good Pizza, Just Like the Ones I Used to Know”
Remembering Trusty Rusty
I never could understand people who hate owning stuff once it gets old. I know someone for example who bought a beautiful fancy car, drove it for a few years and loved it, but then traded it in. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the car. This person just wanted it off his/her hands beforeContinueContinue reading “Remembering Trusty Rusty”
River Gets Rough Already
Well readers, just one week after college graduation, a time when I saw no hints of storms on the horizon, the river called life hit an unexpected rough patch. My master plan had gone off perfectly so far. The graduation festivities were beautiful. The delicious leftovers were almost gone and Mom and I hadContinueContinue reading “River Gets Rough Already”
Food Memories
“I’ll never forget our very first Thanksgiving turkey after we were married,” Mom said through tears of hysterical laughter. “The turkey was beautiful and ready to come out of the oven, but somehow when we lifted it up, it fell off the pan and bounced. There was a loud THUNK as it bounced off theContinueContinue reading “Food Memories”
Dig Me Up a Piece of that Kit Cat Scat
It was a very cold, rainy, dreary Saturday morning, the kind of day when I’m glad I only have to go outside the couple minutes it takes for me to do my business in the grass. When Mom brings me back in and I shake the water off myself and wag my tail, I alreadyContinueContinue reading “Dig Me Up a Piece of that Kit Cat Scat”
Happy Labor Day Working Dogs!
Hello readers, it’s Gilbert here. Mom just realized that while she has talked a lot about me in her entries this summer, she forgot to give me the chance to speak for myself. “What better day is there than Labor Day to let the working dog speak for himself!” she told me. I agree! ButContinueContinue reading “Happy Labor Day Working Dogs!”
