Pleased as Punch

For the longest time, I knew that we would need a new computer, probably for the past six years or so, I have been waiting for the day that we would get one.  And today was the day.  We went and got a brand new laptop from Best Buy.  I was torn between the reliability and longevity of a desktop and the total lack of desire to have the computer set up in one room, not in the midst of the activity of our home.  In the end, it was the seeing that two Windows laptops can be purchased for the price of one Apple.  I decided the price was worth it.  I even hope that we'll be able to by a new desktop for our school work sometime next year.
But here I am, typing in the middle of the night.  That could be a bad habit, but I doubt it will be a regular basis.  I just wanted to say hello to you while I could. 
I am glad to report that I have made a complete recovery from my bout of Lyme disease.  I  am so utterly thankful for my doctor at the Henry Ford Medical Center that diagnosed me and made sure that I have been getting better.  She has been a blessing to me.  I've had lots of great doctors since moving to Plymouth.  It's been something that I could not have asked for but am so thankful that I received.

I feel like I'm rambling, so I'm going to call it a night and hopefully be able to come back and write some more tomorrow!

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
