Hi everyone!  I just made this for lunch today and realized it's great for sharing, too.  I got this recipe years ago while working at a group home.  It's easy, colorful, and tastes great! Calico Rice (Minute Rice works best, as it...

Hi!  Welcome to the Backyard Fence.  Remember old neighborhoods, where people would congregate over the fence, talk about life, share a few laughs? I'd love to make this a stopping point for anyone who wants to share....anything!  I love to...

I put this under the category of 'Mental Health' because, well, mine is shaky today!  I've been so blessed with good health, but I do have a condition called Restless Leg Syndrome.  For anyone out there with it, you know the drill--up all night,...

I've gotten on a plarn kick during the last week.  What's 'plarn?' It's what you get when you recycle plastic bags into yarn!  It's so easy to do, and it's a great way to keep those indestructable bags out of landfill!  When the group...
