Two down, one more to go

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 10h

Today I had the second temporary nerve pain block in my neck. Thankfully, it worked for about seven hours which was really a good result. But when it wore off, it REALLY wore off. It's eased off some after Gabapentin and an ice...

Peanut on the tree

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 17 Dec

Years ago I bought an ornament for our Christmas tree. It's a little peanut shaped guy in a Santa hat. My grannie was such a character...she had the best sense of humor. She looked at that little guy and named him Jimmy Carter....

My husband Dale isn't perfect, but he's been a good husband for 58 years. Last year when I was going through treatments for breast cancer, he took me to all the doctors' appointments which were three or four times a week. That...

Christmas gifts...too many?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 14 Dec

So, what are your feelings about gifts at Christmas? When our kids were little, I know they got way too many toys for Christmas, mostly from "Santa." Our tradition has always been to sit in the living room and take turns opening...

When our granddaughter Kristin was in kindergarten, we gave her a very pretty little white rabbit fur jacket. Dale picked her up from school one winter afternoon and she didn't have the jacket on. He asked her why she wasn't...

Inflation is killing gifts!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 5 Dec

I know we've all seen and been affected by inflation for a good while now. Seems like everything at the grocery store is higher each week. Every year for many years I've made sugared peanuts at Christmas. They're a good snack and...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 4 Dec

Our daughter Tammy was a junior in high school when she found out she was pregnant. We raised our children in Church of God, so it was really a heartbreak for us. We never once considered abortion and determined to support our...

Our son Robert was fifteen months old at his second Christmas. Dale and I were a young couple with our first child, but excited to play Santa. Our tree was a small table top tree that I lovingly decorated. Robert had been...

Put up our Christmas tree

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 30 Nov

Since we're going to our daughter's for Christmas, I'm not doing a lot of decorating. We put up the tree yesterday and I enjoyed adding all the ornaments. My tree will never make the cover of Better Homes and Gardens, but it's...

Dumbest thing I've absolutely ever heard of

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 22 Nov

Have you seen the so called art piece by Maurizio Cattelan which was an actual banana duct taped to a wall? First of all it looked stupid. But some idiot paid $6.2 million dollars for it at a Southeby's auction in New York City....

Here in the US, Thanksgiving is November 28. Many families have big dinners with friends and relatives. It's never been a big celebration with us because when the kids were married, they would go to inlaws for Thanksgiving, and...

With the win of Donald Trump for President of the United States, I see some similarities to our first American revolution. These last four years have hurt so many Americans through inflation, an illegal invasion across our...

Ever made an Impossible pie?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 2 Nov

Today I made a pumpkin impossible pie which turned out yummy. It's called that because it's made without a crust. Dale can't eat gluten (such as pie crusts), so this is a way for him to enjoy a pie. The only difference is it...

Oil in pasta?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41700) • United States 24 Oct

The post by Snowy about using a spoon to stop water from boiling over in a pot of food made me wonder about this. I started pouring just a little bit of vegetable oil in a pot that's boiling pasta. It's supposed to keep the sauce...
