I am going on my second day without being “connected.” I am having trouble thinking if something could be worse. The only thing I can come up with is having “no power.” That thought isn’t as bad as it use to be because less than a month ago we lost power for 5 days. My husband was at the gas station buying gas for the brand new generator that he had just bought and was bringing home when I called to tell him, “the lights were on.”
That was one of those bitter sweet moments. Great the power was back on but it would have been nice to have immediate gratification from that brand new red generator.

In a prior post I told you that I have a whole collection of cookbooks. Well not only do I collect cookbooks but I love to collect books period. I have found a wonderful well laid out site that lets me add to my collection at extremely reasonable prices.

They offer every category you can imagine. You’ll never guess which category I go to first. Well, maybe you can.

I see ads all of the time on TV for a reverse mortgage. With so many seniors living on fixed incomes this really is a novel idea. Seniors are able to continue to live in their homes without paying anymore towards their mortgage. This enables them to free up in many cases much needed money.

Senior lending or reverse mortgages have become quite popular and although they are not right for everyone, many seniors will find it is a great solution to the  financial pinch that many find themselves in. Senior financial help maybe available in your local community and I encourage all to check what is available locally. But another great educational resource for seniors to get a good overview about how a reverse mortgage actually works is available at the Senior Lending Network website.

My Mom and Dad just got back from a 10 day trip to the Calgary Stampede. They had a great time and said everything was wonderful. But when my Dad called he said he just had to tell me how impressed he was with those tickets. Now he of course was referring to the airline tickets that I had made arrangements for them to purchase last January.

I booked their flight using Expedia. They were so happy with the arrangements that I made not only did I save them over $200.00 but I found better times for them to travel. Since January my Dad has asked repeatedly about those tickets. I think because he didn’t have an actual ticket that he was able to hold in his hands we was a bit worried. I kept telling him that the confirmation number was his ticket.

Due to a plan delay they had to rush to catch their connecting flight and when they arrived at the counter to check in there were greeted by the ticket people with…” You must be the Smith’s, we are waiting for you.” As soon as they boarded the plane took off. They are already planning another trip and once again I’ll be looking on Expedia to make the arrangements.

I am sure next time my Dad won’t be worried about just holding a confirmation number and not an actual ticket.

Now I am not going to tell you that I am a great cook. Heck I am not even going to tell you that I could be called a “cook”. But I will tell you that I love cook books. I love everything about them. I like to look at the pictures, I like to read what goes into making the different recipes. I even think of what pan I would prepare it in and what plate I would serve it on. Needless to say I have a whole collection of cook books, everything from soup to nuts as they say.

I will admit I still pull out the book that I had as a child when my mother was a 4-H leader. That was a great time. I was attending Wilson Elementary School out in the country of Alpena, Michigan. A bunch of us kids met in the school cafeteria and had our cooking class.

I think my mother was ahead of her time. We are talking about 40 years ago. She taught things kids could make on their own. We are talking before microwaves and we are also talking before anyone had ever heard the term latch-key kid.

We would walk into a spotless elementary school kitchen and that is the way we left it, spotless. We were taught how to make quick and healthy items to eat. It was after school and in school so we were safe. and we got to eat what we made, how cool is that? Cleanup was an important part of our learning about cooking too but with all of us pitching in that didn’t take long.

By the way, my molasses crinkle cookies won first prize in the 4-H cookie contest that year for my age group. I still make those cookies. The recipe comes from that kids cook book that sits proudly among my mass cookbook collection.

I have just come across away to create my own cookbook. It too is quite the concept.
