Deep Thoughts

in progress

My husband has been working on the shadow box up above for months.  It was a custom order. The majority of the shadow box is made out of Beli wood. He did all the laser work on this too.  I know when he was asked to do this project, he didn't think it would take months. I say by far this is the hardest project he has ever done. There was also the pressure of wanting to tell the story of this veteran in such way as to honor him.

Does anyone else use Merlin to identify birds?  I use it quite often when I am in my backyard.  We actually have a house sparrow nest on our patio. I know bird watching is a peak old person activitiy. 

Clematis is blooming

Inappropriate Thoughts


Someone asked me to do math, and it was simple math and it didn't go well. I don't math well under pressure.

Orange Bundt Cake My son told me it looked worse after I put the glaze on. I should of used baking spray.  It stuck a bit to the pan. I made the glaze with 2 tablespoons of orange juice, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and some orange zest. They are big fans of pistachio bundt cake



Inappropriate Thoughts


Went to the Generation X Takeover at the Route 66 Casino.  Perhaps the most inappropriate appropriate thing we did last Saturday It was an experience.  We laughed a lot and jammed to Generation X toons.

Spicy Older Ladies Blazers Fan Club - Summer League Report

Well there is a lot to discuss.  Summer League is in the books for the Portland Trailblazers. You know us Spicy Older Ladies have opinions!


The Blazers have been making some moves. THEY finally have a new Head Coach- Micah Nori.  We really liked Tiago Splitter as acting coach of Trail Blazers.  

I thought Tiago resembled Sam the Eagle

Tiago is headed to the BULLS.

Other notable trades are Jerami Grant aka JG and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies for Ja Morant.  Very mixed feelings about Ja.
