    Better Person

    ByNicole May 23, 2012February 21, 2018

    Sometimes I live in my own world.   Sometimes maybe that’s easier. My mom & my husband always tell me I live in a black & white world at that and that our world isn’t black and white but it has gray areas.   Areas I don’t want to think about I guess, I’m not sure.   I…

    My Newest Addiction

    ByNicole May 21, 2012August 19, 2018

    Do you remember back in November when I went on the Showboat Branson Belle? Well, one of the options they served for dinner was coffee.  I am not (or should say wasn’t) a coffee drinker, but something told me to try it.  I absolutely love the smell, but the taste wasn’t my friend.  Anyway long…

    How-to Cut an Onion without Tears

    ByNicole May 16, 2012November 3, 2020
