I’m back with another cookie recipe. This time chocolate chip. I’m thinking that this was the most requested and popular cookie, well the monster cookies were a close second, at the diner and within my family. Today I’ll share this recipe that I think our daughter, Kate, perfected or received from a friend many, many…

Hello from “just over the hilltop” in Norwood and not knowing for sure if recipes are still wanted, I decided to pass them on anyway. I don’t mind if they get scrolled past or disregarded. I do that for anything I’m not interested in. Today is muffin and cookie day. Since the quarantine began and…
Hello from “just over the hilltop” on the ninth day of “slow the spread” in our lives. With many of us having closed our businesses and may be working from home or tending to our family, I hope this next recipe will put a smile on your families face and lighten the cares momentarily. This…
It is Saturday morning and the bookstore has been very quiet this week which has enabled me to clean up three email accounts, get some papers filed, prepare the next newsletter for the bookstore, and pour through catalogs for Christmas ordering.

Hello from “just over the hilltop” where the deer and the antelope (well, we don’t have antelope here) play and eat flowers. That’s right. It seems the deer repellent is not working, wearing off too quickly, or the deer are desperate. This morning many of my beautiful geraniums had been snipped off and eaten and…
The days are once again flying by with a flurry of activity and I think that’s the way life should be. That is: as long as I pace myself and keep my quiet time special as much as possible. Summer pleasures and activities have begun with some sadness sprinkled in. And summer itself began with…
“Oh, what a beautiful morning, Oh, what a beautiful day”……and I am enjoying it by alternating my inside and outside projects. It is not too hot, not too cold. In other words, a seemingly perfect day “just over the hilltop.” And I’m enjoying the porch. As usual I have let the tares(weeds) grow up with…
Hello from just over the hilltop where two birds in the evergreen outside our living room picture window made me think of a child’s song of long ago. Did anyone ever tease friends or get teased by singing, “Dick and Sharon sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g”? The other morning was the first time I’d ever…
The first “hello” from returning geese honked to me the other morning as they headed north. I have seen geese in fields but this was the first ones to say “Hello, we’re coming back.” What a wonderful sound in the early morning hours when the noise of the day’s routine has not yet heightened. I…
A pleasant face. Have you ever thought about a pleasant face? Dick’s mom could often be found sitting or working with a glow in her eye and a half smile on her face. Dick asked her once about it. She replied that there was enough sadness and gloom in the world without her adding to…
