Fish Fry Friday

March 28, 2015 by cynelder@me.com 1 Comment

Yep, I just came home from fish fry Friday.  You’re jealous, right?  You should be. I was raised eating fish.  As a Catholic, growing up in the 1960’s, you had to eat fish every Friday. Most of the time we ate tuna.  We had tuna salad, tuna casserole, sometimes we had salmon patties.  Those were … [Read more…]

Are You a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?

March 24, 2015 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

I try so very hard.  I pray so very hard.  I soul search.  I analyze.  If I have no outside good or bad thoughts, I’m fine.  I can control my thoughts and my actions.  But I can’t control my thoughts and actions when I have to deal with outside influences. And outside influences come at you … [Read more…]

You Need a Mother

March 20, 2015 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

We all need our mother at times, don’t we?  When life treats you and beats you up, you need your mama in your corner.  Sometimes she’s not right there, is she?  It doesn’t matter how old you are, there are days when you need someone to lean on, someone to take your side.  And having … [Read more…]

Curing Country Hams

Years ago Jimmy got with a couple of buddies and they decided they were going to cure country hams.  They each put down two hams.  They actually bought a whole hog each, got it processed with the hams, pork chops and sausage.  They were so very excited about it.  And before they went through the … [Read more…]

Would You Just Shut Up!

March 9, 2015 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

Have you ever been in a situation where you just can’t shut your mouth?  Have you ever been in a situation where you tell yourself to shut up?  Have you known that if you keep talking you’re going to get yourself in so much trouble? I do it all the time. I recently read an … [Read more…]

Cookin’ Sorghum

March 7, 2015 by cynelder@me.com 1 Comment

One of my first outings when I moved to western Kentucky was that I drove up to the lake near Aurora, Kentucky.  They had an arts and crafts festival in the fall.  One of the exhibits they had was cooking sorghum.  I watched for a while.  I might have even bought some sorghum.  I’m sure I … [Read more…]

Talk to Yourself

March 4, 2015 by cynthiaelder Leave a Comment

“Self-talk reflects your innermost feelings.”  Asa Don Brown Say your prayers. I had never been hypnotized.  But when my daughter turned 21 she made me take her Las Vegas with a friend.  We had a really good time.  While I had been there a couple of years before I found that the spa at Caesar’s … [Read more…]
