Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Loving food and the kitchen came to me at a very young age. I tried to imitate my grandma’s cooking, but she really did not write very many recipes down. What a time I had when I first got married. My husband was used to his mom’s cooking…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker One of my New Years resolutions is to listen to others and acquire more common sense. I am not saying I’m dumb, but sometimes I tend to follow my own thoughts and lots of times it is because I haven’t absorbed or paid attention to what I was…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker It is funny that as we reach certain ages, how our idea of “fun” changes. Babies, for example, will start noticing rattles, stuffed animals and toys at an early age. That is fun for them and for parents as well. Then we reach Kindergarten and grade school. Our ideas of…
Penny For Your Thoughts by: Nancy Whitaker It seems like I can’t get a break. I thought that after the first frost my allergies would disappear until Spring, but then I was struck by the flu bug.

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitacker I know I am guilty. I love pie. Pie can finish off a good meal and I have even saw people eat their pie first at dinners. Have you ever went to a dinner and for dessert there was a big table full of all kinds of pie? …
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker One of the things we try and teach our children is not to stick their tongues out at people. It is rude and some kids and adults will do it to someone they don’t like or maybe for attention. However, in Tibet, people greet one another by sticking…
Penny For Your Thougths By: Nancy Whitaker One potato, two potato, three potatoes, four. Remember playing that game? Also there was a game called Hot Potato. We can’t forget Mr. Potato Head, a game I think is still around. Of course instead of playing games with the name of potato, I would rather just eat…
A Penny For Your Thoughts, By: Nancy Whitaker If you like watching old television shows, then the TV Channel TVland reruns old shows everyday. One of my all time old favorites is The Andy Griffith Show. The program airs from about 5 pm each day for a few hours almost every evening. When I look at Mayberry,…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Sitting here thinking about what I want for breakfast is always fun and interesting. My usual “go to” breakfast is either cookies, toast, Pop Tarts, eggs or hot cereal. I was always taught that breakfast was the most important meal of the day, especially the coffee. Yes, there…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker One of the things you always want kids to do and even reward them to do is to clean their rooms. Lots of times, my kids would hurriedly throw everything in a closet and shut the door. I had 3 girls and 1 son and the son, believe it…
