Spice Blends, Photos and Writing

 My friends sent me such beautiful photos from Hawaii. The nature did them wonders and now they are ready to dive into their creativity! I'm so happy for them.  Emory and I had a nice weekend. I went into my favorite spice shop and tried probably twenty spice blends. I feel like it's important to have a good spice rack. Bad thing is that it's so expensive so for two jars, we paid $$$ dollars. In the past, we bought "Italian Goes on Everything" which is sooooo freaking delicious and we put that on everything. 😍 So we did two more jars of something different. I told Emory we need to get some potatoes so we can try our spices out. Emory wore his Vegan shirt and this woman passing us said very loudly, "He's vegan, ask him what there is to eat around here."  I turned to answer her, but there was a group of people so I barely saw who might have said that and then they were gone. Mom says we need a shirt that says, "ask a vegan" which I think is

Arizona was Cold, Communes are Comfortable and Writing

 We're back from the communes!  The trip to Arizona wasn't too bad. The dogs were really good and then we got to Arizona and stayed up past midnight just talking with everyone. Emory had a beer with Ann and I just listened to conversation. No shopping, though AZ is my favorite place for garage sales. I'm really supposed to be downsizing, according to a few communes, who have super organizers. You know you can't live in a commune without a few because someone has to get things settled for everyone.  Anyways, at 2pm on Saturday, our besties were having their party so we went. We learned so much about them with the games that they played for their party. It was so funny but lead to me wanting answers, but Emory said that we probably shouldn't ask... I ate way too many red velvet cupcakes, but to be fair, they were gluten-free and vegan so the best combo in my world! They were so stellar! I would have eaten more, but even I know that sometimes you have to share...  I lo

No-Go Vegan Candies, Commune Parties and Writing

 I bought vegan candies. I got so excited that they were gelatin free that I got three bags, then I looked at the back and it said "wheat." What! Nuts! So I called my best friend to see if she'd eat them. She said yeppers! Because Sue is so anti sugar. She says it'll give you dementia and I think candy just sits around at the Phoenix commune now that most people with children have moved on and out of the community.  I'm going to go visit another commune, that my BFF is staying at. She's having a huge party so that should be fun. Emory and I are staying the night. She's got a crystal room so I'm hoping she'll show me all her witchy stuff. I love the potions and lotions and she's a crystal healer so that is even more fun stuff. Maybe I can get her to read my tarot. I have tons of cards, but I love having other people read for me. Does that make me lazy?  Steven is going to watch our dogs for us. He said Typo can sleep with him, because Mozart wil

Crazy Stormy Weather, Ventura for Sunday and Writing

 Holy cow the weather was bad on Thursday. I thought we'd lose power. It was hailing, and the rain was coming down in buckets. I think it scared Mozart because he usually doesn't just sit by my feet while I'm working so I picked the little booger up and stuck him on my chair with me. Of course, he growls as we both try to get situated with space.  To be fair, the weather scared me and I knew I was safe, but Emory was out of the house so I was really worried about him driving in it. I called the commune out here to make sure they weren't in it. Sue said she was at home, but she had to leave within the hour. Darlene was out golfing though she never said it was raining. I guess she was up in Solvang and it was just terribly cold and windy.  Mr. M was at the other commune working on painting doors. I guess those doors are pretty heavy and he had to call in for backup moving them.  Emory and I went up to Ventura for Sunday and had a blast. I bought a few puzzles though I kne
