National Coffee Day 09/29/2022 I don't know about you but I can't start my day off without at least one cup of coffee. I love Tim Horton's coffee and brought some home with me when I went to visit my family last month.   I also, love the coffee at Atwater's in Catonsville on Frederick and also Caffe di Roma in Catonsville on Edmondson just east of Rolling Road. I'll get coffee in the drive-thru at Dunkin Donuts when I am in a rush, however, I am not a huge fan of Starbucks, and to me, the coffee tastes bitter.  Where is your favorite coffee?  If you have the Dunkin Donuts app on your smartphone you'll get a free cup of coffee today!!  Enjoy!! 09/29/2022

National Tire & Battery in Catonsville, MDAs a woman, I am used to national chain mechanical service companies trying to take advantage and rake me over the coals for products and services I don't need and they think because I'm a woman I don't know what I need and don't need. NTB in Catonsville is a breath of fresh air and they treat every woman that goes in there with respect and fairness. NTB doesn't just do tires and batteries either.  I have been to this location twice.  The first time the leads on the battery in my son's car had come loose, two other places told me I needed to have them replaced and the bolts couldn't be tightened.  Andrew came out, took a look, and came back with a socket, tightened them, and sent me on my way, no charge.  Last week I drove over a bolt on my stre... 07/27/2022

Memories Light The Corner of my MindI wonder if any of you are old enough to remember the old Barbara Streisand song, "The Way We Were".  My mind is often filled with song lyrics and it's strange the things that spark them. I was out walking Sadie the other morning and I came across loads of wild strawberries.  I remember being a kid and my Mom and I would pick wild strawberries and make homemade strawberry jam.  The wild strawberries were so much sweeter than the ones we grew in the garden.  Maybe it's because they are a different genus or something but these are hard and don't taste sweet like the berries we used to pick.   In fact, they don't have much flavor at all.Am I wrong?  Are my memories clouded watercolors?  I see more and more every day now when we walk, I could pick them an... 06/04/2022
