Peach Cobbler with a Cup of Coffee   

     Recipe: Bring a large kettle of water to a rapid boil and add 7 or 8 ripe peaches.  Boil for about two minutes and then, turn off heat and let peaches set in water for a few minutes.  Drain water off peaches and let cool until able to handle.  Peel off peach skins and remove pits.  Slice peaches and place them in a bowl.

     Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup of margarine with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon until light and fluffy.  Add 1 cup flour, 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup milk and mix until smooth.
     Coat bottom of  a glass baking dish with shortening or cooking oil.  Pour batter into greased baking dish and spread evenly over bottom.  Spoon peach mixture evenly over top of batter.
     Preheat oven to 350F degrees and bake peach cobbler for one hour or until golden brown.  Remove from oven and let cool.  Serve topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Home Improvement

     By 10:00 A.M., I was up, dressed to shoes, ate breakfast, took meds, did my chores, and waited for my son, Jim to take me to Home Depot and Burlington.  It seems we need another pint of touch-up paint and silicone caulking for the main bathroom, Jim painted yesterday.  He also wants a new shower curtain to redecorate!  I put a stop to new shower rod and rings because the old ones are galvanized steel and we can't do better than those things for durability.  I told Jim, we could clean and polish the shower rod and there are nothing wrong with the rings.  If it doesn't need fixing, let it alone.      "Totally do, I have to skedaddle."

Getting Started

     At my age, getting started, and then keeping up are not​ easy; however, once it becomes a habit, I could possibly get used to it.  Habits are developed over a period of about three weeks or twenty-one days so I've learned.  Over the years, I developed many habits--some good--some not so good.  I've had to break my bad habits by teaching myself to quit doing whatever it was that was bad.  Therefore, if this Blogspot turns bad, I may have to give it up.  Then again, if I keep writing about my life after seventy-five and people become interested in reading my blogs, it could become a habit.  We will have to wait for three weeks to see whether I am able to stick with it until I'm habitually writing to anybody out there.  Habits can sometimes become so habit forming that one could continue without total recall of why one wanted to do it in the first place or of what it was one did in the second place.  Does that make any sense to yo...
