Over the past year, Sydney, our grandaughter, traveling the world with her parents has blogged about different foods: Foods of the Netherlands, Foods of Poland, and now foods of Turkey.

How the Hen House Turns: Geese in a Hail Storm
How the Hen House Turns: Geese in a Hail StormMaybe there’s a lesson to be learned in the way geese respond to weather—or not.
On a bright sunny day, Lucy and the Hen House gang cut loose whenever I appear outside. I am greeted with a cacophony of loud honks and squawks. Their message is quite clear, “Let us out of here.” And I do.
But then, when the wind starts blowing the Ponderosas into a wavering dance, usually after noon, they retreat to the safety of the pen.
If the day is not bright and sunny—or if I need to open the Hen House doors a little too early—they do not Read More

Your Money: Social Security Strategies for Couples
Your Money: Social Security Strategies for CouplesIt’s a new year, and that means a new cohort of people are eligible for Social Security. Some elect to begin taking benefits at 62, the earliest age allowable.
While it may sound good to take the money as soon as it’s available, that’s often not the best option. The age at which you apply affects the amount you get. Most of the time, the math works out better for those who wait at least until full retirement age, if not longer.
But for married couples, it’s worth taking even more time to consider the Social Security options. When spouses Read More

How the Hen House Turns: The Power of Imprinting
How the Hen House Turns: The Power of ImprintingI’m thinking of new beginnings as the new year begins. It’s been almost four years now, since Gwendolyn hen was a chick, raised in our human house during a nasty cold spring, thus imprinted with me as her mother hen.
She still climbs onto my lap whenever I perch on the bench beside the stock tank. She’ll accept a snuggle under my jacket and holds still for several minutes—a rare event in the life of most chickens—then she gets bored and hops off to peck around in the yard for the rest of the morning.
Such imprinting Read More
Skin Care Column: Microdermabrasion, How It Works
Skin Care Column: Microdermabrasion, How It WorksMicrodermabrasion, also known as microderm, is one of the easiest and most effective anti-aging treatments you can get. Its benefits are many: Microderm softens lines and wrinkles, helps to smooth coarsely textured skin, decreases the appearance of scarring, decreases pore size, and reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, sometimes known as age spots.

The Pain Free AthletePolls show that one quarter of people who set New Year’s Resolutions drop their efforts by the end of the first week. This figure rises to a third by the end of the first month and is over half at the conclusion of six months.
