The California Fires are difficult for me to write about; I started writing about this topic during the Caldor Fire this year. Since then, I have started over several times because I did not feel that I was not doing the subject justice. At this time, it would be better if I cited knowledgeable authorities …
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, my effort planting seeds was a fiasco, and all the containers that I have repotted with established plants are doing very well! But I am not done yet. Recently I began wanting to try my hand at terrariums—another new experience. So I talked to Garden Center experts and watched YouTube …
I tried several new projects during the Covid-19 isolation, and most did not end well. The cute doggie puzzle ultimately had to be completed by my son and granddaughter, and they did a fabulous job! I had to share the finished puzzle. Learning to crochet is on hold because I realize that I need more …
Initially, I thought the book club I was joining was Steph Curry’s personal book club; that was not the case. The actual online book club is Literati, and Steph Curry is one of the book club’s “inspiring people” who recommend books. The first four books recommend by Steph Curry were true stories, and the last …
Welcome to Grandma’s Bistro, where meals are always made with love and served with a smile. I’ve shared my efforts to try new projects and my questionable progress, but I am successful in some areas. I am a home cook, and I have prepared more than a few meals in my lifetime, but everything was …

Even though I openly admit to not being the fastest squirrel in the tree, I want to update you on …
I’ve mentioned before that I joined Steph Curry’s book club, and I just finished the third book recommended by the club, A Team of Their Own by Seth Berkman. Before I discuss the book, I want to recap why I decided to join Steph Curry’s book club. I was not an athletic child growing up. …
Before COVID-19, our family would gather on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and we would celebrate, and reconnect as a family over food. There was always a lot of fun and chaos. I am sure I complained about all of the work at the time, but now I miss it so much! Because of COVID-19, …
After listening to our California Governor Newsom outline the current COVID-19 situation, I wanted to reach out with something humorous or at least positive. We are in the third wave of COVID-19 and facing new Stay-At-Home Orders, and even though there are several vaccines on the horizon, this is still very scary! Are you feeling …
Thanksgiving, a traditional holiday for a family gathering, was very different this year. Instead of our entire family gathering together, Jim and I and Teddy spent the day by ourselves. Focusing on what matters most, I am grateful that no one in my family has COVID-19. Dr. Teddy is enjoying the opportunity to relax! The …
