    based on 8 ratings
     | 2,362 views

    MY FAVORITE STATION Good listening is like tuning in a radio station. For good results, you can listen to only one station at a time. Trying to listen to my wife while looking over an office report is like trying to receive two radio stations at the same time. I end up with distortion and ...read more

    MY LABELING SYSTEM I have my own system for labeling homemade freezer meals. Forget calling them "Veal Parmigiana" or "Turkey Loaf" or "Beef Pot Pie." If you look in my freezer you’ll see "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don’t Know," and, my favorite, "Food." That way when I ask my husband what he ...read more
