Shopping…
My hubby and I recently went to Home Depot to buy wood trim for our house. After walking for what seemed like miles, we finally found an employee to help us. We said, “We’re interested in buying some wood trim.” The employee said, “You can just take the number to the service desk. They’ll help…
Crochet threads…
Most crafters have stashes of supplies squirreled away somewhere in their homes. I’m no exception. In a previous blog (Throwback Crochet, August, 2020), I posted about making a doily out of vintage crochet thread I had scored at a garage sale. I couldn’t resist. It was a huge box chock full of thread, marked at…

This blog is dedicated to my mother, Ann Lazinsky who instilled in me the importance of family traditions. It is written primarily for my daughter, Emma, and my niece Debbie Lazinsky, who are most likely to keep this delicious Hungarian, Nicklos family tradition going! It’s Lent, and time to think about Easter. As a youngster,…
Journeys, an update…
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so grateful for family, friends, and second chances. I heard someone say, “The only person that has to love you is yourself.” If you haven’t had a mammogram recently, I urge you to set up an appointment today. I spent a week thinking I had breast cancer, and I would protect anyone…
Journeys…
I decided to begin blogging about some of my personal journeys. This first post is about trying to lose weight and about the search for purpose in my post-pandemic world. All of my journey postings won’t be “journal-style.” The information I wanted to share for this blog seemed best by following my journal. Today is…
Throwback Recipes…
We’re officially empty-nesters. My husband and I moved our daughter into her apartment in New York, New York. This theme of empty-nesting will probably show up in subsequent posts, because it does change things. The permanence of this “moving in” felt very different from the college “drop off.” Our daughter has no plans to return…
Temperature Blanket Reworked…
I \”frogged\” the first version of my temperature blanket. When I initially saw the term, I guessed that it was giving up on a project. But further digging taught me that frogging means unraveling a piece of knitted or crocheted work. It’s frogging because rip it, rip it, sounds like ribbit, ribbit. Frogging. Original Temp BlanketUp…
Chair Update…
If you’ve read my previous blog, “Please Take a Seat…,” you know that I spent a good part of my summer refinishing old chairs. The idea was to sell the chairs and give the proceeds to charity, specifically, The Ohio Restaurant Employee Relief Fund. To date three chairs have sold, and the others are being sold…
Temperature Blanket…
The motivation for me to write depends on the color of the sky. There is another blog waiting, but it’s about letting go in 2020, not the cheeriest topic. So, I’m writing about a Temperature Blanket because it\’s very exciting!My Google phone spies on me all of the time, listening and remembering everything I…
Rugo…
It’s been a while since I’ve written. My motivation wanes sometimes. Also, my computer occasionally acts up. I’m using an ASUS laptop that we bought for Emma in high school. She carried it daily in her backpack, and really beat it up. When ASUS acts up, the center keys don’t work. Even if I hit…
