Sometimes when cooking for a crowd you need some additional cooking space.
We find this especially true when our kids and grandchildren are visiting.
Fran bought this Bella Essentials electric griddle to help solve this
problem. This griddle is a versatile, user-friendly kitchen appliance
designed to make cooking a breeze.
Bella Electric Griddle Design and Quality:
This griddle is a sleek, modern design with a non-stick cooking surface
that ensures easy food release and easy, cleanup.
The 10 x 16 cooking
surface is large enough to prepare multiple items simultaneously, making it
ideal for a large family breakfast. The griddle features a sturdy base with
non-slip feet for stability.
Key Features:
Non-Stick Coating: Even foods like pancakes and eggs slide off
easily.
Adjustable Temperature Control: With a temperature range of up to
400 degrees, the adjustable control dial allows precise cooking for a
variety of dishes.
Drip Tray: The removable drip tray collects excess grease and makes
for easy cleanup.
Cool-Touch Handles: The heat-resistant handles ensure safe handling
during and after cooking.
Even Heating: The griddle heats up quickly and distributes heat
evenly preventing hot spots to ensure consistent results.
Pros:
The Non-Stick Cooking Surface
Even Heating
Adjustable Temperature
Removable Drip Tray
Cons:
The cord length is a bit short which may limit placement options in some
kitchens
Due to the size, finding a storage space in smaller kitchens can be a
challenge.
We have a space on our counter with an outlet easily accessible, and we
have a shelf in our basement for storage.
So, for us, the pros outweigh the
cons. The Bella griddle is a helpful kitchen appliance when cooking for a
crowd in our house.

I have just recently received my first handcrafted ergonomic crochet hooks from Nelsonwood and I'm so excited to show them to you. Nelsonwood crochet hooks are handmade, primarily wooden, hooks that are as much pieces of art as they are functional tools for crochet. No two Nelsonwood items could ever be identical, so every hook is a custom artpiece that only you possess. They feel so velvety smooth that I just want to pet mine, like a calming fidget. Do you think I'm being dramatic? I would have thought so too had I read this prior to touching and seeing my first Nelsonwood hooks.
Crochet is a fiber art in which items are made using yarn and a hook. Crocheted items can be functional (hats, socks, blankets), unique art pieces and heirlooms (doilies, christening gowns), or fun (shaped pillows, amigurumi, stuffed animals, and costumes).
I enjoy crochet very much and am astounded at some of the intricate art I see crocheters producing. I am a moderately skilled crocheter but my retirement dream is to spend plenty of time sitting on the deck and learning to crochet intricate doily tablecloths, mosaic blankets, and beautiful wearables.
Many crocheters have their favorite brand or style of crochet hooks (and yarns, but that's an entirely different maze of rabbit holes to go down). I recently saw a crochet youtube tutorial in which the artist showed her Nelsoonwood hook. I was so astounded by how beautiful it was that I went directly to the website. It wasn't long after that I ordered my first Nelsoonwood hook.
Nelsonwood
Bryan Tyler Nelson is the Texas wood artist of Nelsonwood. He handcrafts beautiful wooden items with a focus on bowls and crochet hooks. And the selection of woods and base/body parts seems endless.
You choose the components to each hook you order at Nelsonwood.
Hook. Most importantly to me, you are able to choose a wooden hook or a metal hook. My favorite hook over the years has been the Boye brand. So I select that option and the size hook.
Base (body). This is the largest part of the hook. Where you hand holds onto. You can choose one of the many woods listed (with a vast variety of colors and grains) or you can choose one of the AlumiLite designs. AlumiLite is a "Proprietary Casting Urethane". It is very strong, stronger than Acrylic and will not break or chip.
Exotic Wood Ends. Whether you choose a wooden or AlumiLite base, you will then choose an exatic wood for the ends (for example, the far end of the hook and the piece between the base and the metal crochet hook on my custom Nelsonwood hook.)
My next order will be a hook with the AlumiLite base. There are so many options. There are some styles that have feathers or dried flowers inside. With the clear AlumiLite, it looks like they are floating.
All handcrafted items, that aren't created first then are "ready to ship" take slightly longer to receive after ordering. The site states that it typically takes between 4-5 weeks for the hook to be created and shipped. That is reasonable for a custom, handmade item. I feel that mine arrived in the 3 to 4 week time frame. (Frankly, I only usually check my post office box weekly. And my Nelsonwood hooks arrived a week sooner than I had anticipated).
As I can begin to see retirement age approaching, my hands seem to be retiring before the rest of me. I find myself wondering if days filled with working with my hands/fingers will be a realistic goal. This is the primary reason I hurried to order this ergonomic hook option. I also would like to be able to surround myself with a few nice, possibly heirloom, items here and there.
I did find the ordering page a bit confusing. Part of that was 1) I rarely read directions and just try to race through and 2) there are so many options that I had a very hard time making decisions. The good news is that Bryan has included a step-by-step "how to order" page that was extremely helpful (once I chose to look at directions!)
These hooks are pricey. I am not at all saying they are over-priced. Like all handmade items and works of art, the price is higher than mass-produced items. In fact, for what they are, the Nelsonwood custom crochet hooks are very reasonably priced. A younger me would not have been able to pay this price. Fortunately, the older me is able to splurge on some gifts to me. And, is it really a splurge if the ergonomic shape will help me continue crochet well into my retirement?
I tend to use only a range of 4 hook sizes; F, G, H, and I. So I have plans to buy Nelsonwood hooks in those four sizes. And the next will be one of those gorgeous AlumiLite bases. Probably one with the combination of flowers and fathers.
Personal Thoughts About Stereotypes
I'm rattling on about being an older woman and am looking forward to crocheting during my retirement. That is me personally. In no way do I want to continue the myth that crochet is a hobby that is only for old ladies.
There are many males (adult and younger) who are passionate about crochet and who are extremely talented. I am so very thankful for these folks who are sharing their passion and talent on social media.
I have worked with at-risk and special needs children for decades. I often offer crochet as a way for these children to have a hobby, develop skills (physical and emotional), have an outlet for their amazing creativity and so on. Unfortunately, over the decades, most males and many young female children were hesitant to try; citing "that's for old women".
I am thrilled that so many people, of such a wide range of age, gender, race, and culture are sharing their crochet passion with others. And am especially thrilled that males are showing their talent on social media.
Thank you for that.

To date, there are 39 books in the Alex Delaware series by author Jonathan Kellerman. Victims is book #27 in the series, published in 2012. It features child psychologist Alex Delaware who, in his spare time, acts as a consultant to the Los Angeles Police Department on difficult murder cases his best friend, homicide detective Milo Sturgis, investigates. Victims, as well as the entire Alex Delaware series of books, takes place in Los Angeles.
Synopsis of Victims
A woman is found murdered in what becomes the first in a gruesome crime spree. The first victim, Vita Berlin, was not a very nice woman, mean and rude to everyone she met, but still…..she didn’t deserve to be murdered.
The third victim in the bloody spree was also not a very pleasant individual; yet, the second victim was considered kind, well liked and loved by all.
With no apparent connection among the victims, Detective Sturgis is baffled with practically no clues except for a blank page bearing a question mark left at each scene.
Milo calls in his go-to expert in hunting homicidal maniacs. But despite his finely honed skills, even Alex is baffled as each slaying occurs and a direction cannot be found toward solving these crimes.
Finally, as pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together, and a horrible portrait of a sinister mind emerges, Milo and Alex begin to see the pattern leading them to a solution found within a shuttered mental institution.
Summary
A murder mystery not for the faint of heart, but an exciting read for long-time fans of Alex Delaware and his detective friend, Milo Sturgis. You might want to keep the lights on while you read.

Even though the movie was released in 2017, I just finished watching "The
Zookeeper's Wife" and I suspect it will haunt my mind for a long time to
come.
I use the word "haunt" for several reasons. First, there are some
scenes that I found very hard to watch. Actually, I closed my eyes for
fear of what they would actually show. As it turns out, there really
wasn't anything too graphic to view, but my mind's eye had no problem
filling in what the filmmakers graciously left out.
Second, I had trouble believing parts of it. I won't go into detail,
but I would be interested to hear if you had the same reaction if you watch
the movie.
And last, but not least, was the obvious question of what would I do, what
would any of us do, if faced with the same decisions.
It is for that last reason that I would recommend this
movie.
When I picked up this DVD to watch, I chose it because the images on the
cover looked so "precious". I had no idea I was about to watch a movie
based on a true story, on real people, and events in Warsaw during
WWII.
In real life, the Żabińskis were recognized by Yad Vashem (The World
Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel) as "Righteous Among the Nations" for
their heroic actions and saving hundreds of Jews. The Warsaw Zoo is
still in operation today.
Antonina Żabińska was the zookeeper's wife. The couple had friends from a
variety of backgrounds and nationalities. Antonina had one admirer,
Lutz Heck, who would play a big part in the survival of the zoo and
unwittingly help them with their ability to "hide" and transport Jews to safety.
Knowing in advance that the Germans would be moving into Warsaw sooner or later, Antonina
refused to leave her husband, her home and the zoo animals. As a
result of that decision, she and her son became an integral part in caring for and
sheltering the Jews that arrived at the zoo.
Not long after the occupation of Warsaw, the valuable zoo animals were transferred to the
Berlin Zoo in Germany by their "friend", Lutz Heck. Under the guise of
raising pigs for the German soldier's meals, the zoo was allowed to remain
open and became the perfect hiding place. However, there was much danger in the day to day operation and not everyone could be saved.

When I visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the area I always gravitate to is the Japanese Gardens. In this post, I will be reviewing my last visit to the gardens and sharing the photos that I took of this beautiful, serene garden. The scene above shows the Japanese Bridge as it goes over to Teahouse Island. It is what you see as you enter the path the goes around the lake in the garden.
The garden at St. Louis is considered to be the largest Japanese strolling garden in the country. It covers 14 acres in the Missouri Botanical Garden.
My Visit to the Japanese Garden
I visited the garden on a beautiful day in early July. My sister and I took the tram from the entrance of the botanical garden and got off on the stop for the Japanese Garden. From there we took the path to stroll around the large lake and enjoy the serenity of the afternoon. I stopped to photograph many of the historic lanterns that were found around the path. One near the entrance was from the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904. It is the first one in the photos below. Others were gifts from various cities in Japan. You can find out more about them at the link I list at the bottom of the page. Here are a few photos of the different lanterns.
The lanterns were placed within the beauty of the garden and add to the peaceful setting.
The garden also has some wonderful waterfalls that give you a peaceful feeling. The one below is one that I have photographed often in the past. The foliage around it gives it different feels, depending on the time of year you visit.
An interesting feature of the garden is a bench in the shape of a flower. It is an Anemome and is the favorite flower of Courtney Bean Obeta, a St. Louis artist. It was designed in her memory.
Another interesting bridge is this crooked bridge that goes out into the water. It is a favorite for children (and adults) to walk.
I hope you have enjoyed my pictorial review of my visit to the Japanese Garden in St. Louis. To learn more here is an Amazon book you might like. https://amzn.to/4cscM3v .
I have written other reviews on the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Here are some links to my reviews.
I invite you to read more about this beautiful garden at the Missouri Botanical website on the Japanese garden page. Japanese Garden

Are you a Murder/Mystery Fan? If so, this is a book that you should put on your radar! Shari Lapena's novel, What Have You Done? is a page turner and will keep you guessing right until the very end.
Right now it is in pre-publishing and is scheduled for release on July 30th of this year.
Shari does a masterful job in keeping the suspense growing in this novel. The story begins in a small town where everyone knows everyone and nothing ever happens either! The folks in Fairhill, Vermont are about to find out what happens when something happens......
A farmer's field and a tired farmer coming back to the homestead after a hard day in the fields, notices turkey vultures flying in the distance. This can only mean something is out there and it could be some forest critter or something bigger.
Roy Ressler (the farmer) must go out and investigate, but he's not really looking forward to finding out what those vultures are gorging on. He's not too fazed by what he's facing, after all he's a volunteer firefighter in the town and has seen some pretty nasty things, but nothing has prepared him for this find.
The small town is home to one high school, one grocery store and a hardware store. There is not too much going on in Fairhill. Until now!
This book had me reading into the late hours of the night. I just had to find out how everyone was connected and who could possibly have caused so much tragedy in such a short time.
The author does an amazing job of making you feel like you would know these people and so you become invested in the story before the second chapter is complete. I guess it's a good thing I'm not a great sleeper.
Everything you ever thought about living in a small town is true in Fairhill. No one worries about locking their doors, drawing the drapes or having a security system in place. Everyone knows everyone and very little is ever out of place.
The kids hang out at the local graveyard telling ghost stories and spooking each other out. But it is more comedy than anything else.
All of that is about to change.....Evan, Taylor, Riley and Diana (friends since grade school days) are about to have their world torn apart!
I don't want to give away too much of the story, so I will just let you know that there is some "colorful" language and a little bit of teenage dating angst in this story. But nothing that is too "in your face".
I'm sure that you will become totally involved in this story as I was.
As a member of NetGalley.com, I was privileged to read this book as "An Advanced Readers Copy". I would give this novel 5 STARS *****!
If you would like to join me and read lots of different types of books just click on the link above, but if you want to read a great book than click the link to Amazon to order your own copy!

Play-Doh's Airplane Explorer Starter Set will appeal to the little and even the big folk who are enthralled with airplanes. What follows is a brief review of this set.
Released in 2024, this set is considered a starter set for children aged 3 and up and is perfect for airplane-themed creative play.
It comes complete with a rolling airplane that stamps cloud patterns as you roll it along and that includes molds in the cockpit so that you can make a pilot or two. It also includes a world map-themed playmat, travel-themed molds to make shapes that are seen on the mat, a globe roller, a luggage roller and a camera that molds postcards. Of course, it also comes with the iconic modeling clay. In this case, there are four canisters in blue, green, orange and purple.
Here's a peek at the set in action:
This set is good for little ones to develop fine motor skills, engage their imaginations and explore the world on a map.
It is a fun set for little ones but I think it would be a "made you smile" kind of gift for anyone who works in the aviation industry, too. As Play-Doh says, "no passport is required" to travel with this set.

This movie is science fiction, so if you're into a creative approach to science fiction, "Lucy" hits the mark. With its imaginative storyline and top-quality cast, it's earned five stars from me! I've watched this movie about ten times.
"Lucy" is a 2014 science fiction action film directed by Luc Besson. The movie follows the journey of a young woman named Lucy, played by Scarlett Johansson, who inadvertently gains superhuman abilities after a powerful synthetic drug is absorbed into her bloodstream. Lucy discovers she can manipulate time and space as her brain capacity increases, gaining extraordinary cognitive and physical powers.
The Plot and Themes
The central theme of "Lucy" revolves around unlocking the human brain's full potential. The film starts with Lucy being coerced into working as a drug mule. The drug she carries, CPH4, is accidentally released into her system, leading to a series of transformative events. As her brain capacity increases, Lucy's abilities grow exponentially. She acquires knowledge instantaneously, develops telekinetic powers, and even gains control over matter and time.
The movie explores profound philosophical questions about the nature of human existence, intelligence, and evolution. It delves into the idea of what humanity could achieve if we could tap into our minds' unused potential, a concept that has fascinated scientists and thinkers for centuries.
The Cast
The film boasts a talented cast that brings its intriguing story to life. Scarlett Johansson delivers a compelling performance as Lucy, capturing her character's transformation from an ordinary woman to a being with god-like powers. Johansson's portrayal of Lucy's journey is intense and captivating, making her character's evolution believable and engaging.
Morgan Freeman plays Professor Norman, a leading researcher in brain capacity and cognitive function. His character provides crucial insights into the story's scientific and philosophical underpinnings. Freeman's authoritative presence and thoughtful delivery add depth to the film, making the scientific concepts accessible to the audience.
Choi Min-sik, known for his role in "Oldboy," plays the ruthless drug lord Mr. Jang. His menacing performance adds a layer of tension and danger to the film, providing a formidable antagonist for Lucy to confront as she navigates her new abilities.
Why I Loved the Movie "Lucy"
"Lucy" captivated me by exploring the human mind's untapped potential. The film's premise that we only use a small percentage of our brain capacity has always intrigued me. The idea of what we could achieve if we could access 100 percent of our mind's capabilities taps my curiosity.
While "Lucy" is undeniably a work of dramatic fiction, it tackles this intriguing topic in an entertaining and thought-provoking way. The movie seamlessly blends action and science fiction, presenting a narrative that is as intellectually stimulating as it is thrilling.
In conclusion, "Lucy" is a film that entertains and inspires contemplation about the future of human evolution and the mysteries of our brains.
Its combination of a gripping storyline, strong performances, and profound themes makes it a movie that I love and recommend to anyone interested in the human mind's potential from a science fiction perspective, of course!

In 1984, the International Fund for Animal Welfare named the month of July as Wild About Wildlife Month. It is a time to highlight the different kinds of wildlife around the world and encourage people to do their part in conservation efforts to protect the wildlife that is such an integral part of our ecosystem.
On December 20, 2013, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed March 3rd to be World Wildlife Day. This is an Awareness Day, along with the month of July, to raise awareness about threatened and endangered plants and animals.
Wildlife Conservation Efforts
The need for conservation efforts to protect our wildlife has been a critical part of the future of our ecosystem.
In 1973, the United States passed the Endangered Species Act. In 1993, the United Nations added more than a million species to the endangered section for the first time. By 2020, the population of about 21,000 mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, and amphibians had declined by 68%.
A species becomes classified as endangered when the total population drops to less than 250 mature individuals and shows a 50% to 70% decline in recent years.
So this Wild About Wildlife Month is a call to action.
Reasons for Wildlife Extinction and Endangerment
habitat loss
climate change
invasive species
overfishing and hunting
Some Recent Examples of the Benefits of Worldwide Wildlife Conservation
They were close to facing near-extinction due to hunting in the 1970s. Conservation efforts have brought the whale numbers back to their pre-70s state.
The beavers of England
Beavers had become extinct in the U.K. prior to 2008 until conservation efforts reversed it.
The gorillas of Africa
The gorilla population in Africa increased from only 48 in 2010 to more than 100 in 2016.
The gray wolves of America
In 1960, there were only 300 gray wolves left in America. Conservation efforts have brought the population back to nearly 5,400 by 2010.
The tigers of India
India’s wild tiger population has seen a 33% increase since conservation efforts began in 2010.
With wildlife conservation becoming more important than ever, it’s nice to have a whole month set aside to help as a reminder for each of us to do our part. So, celebrate in whatever way suits you best all during Wild About Wildlife Month in July.

This year for my husband's birthday, our son surprised him with a Lego
set. They sat at the dining room table that day putting it together
and mostly chatting while our son assembled it. Building Legos
together has always given us an opportunity to spend time with each other while doing something creative and fun.
Our son put a lot of thought into this gift. His dad loves airplanes,
especially the older planes that have tail-wheels and single-engine
biplanes. The Tornado Plane in this Lego set is obviously a biplane (two
wings) with a single engine.
In the photo, Tails the fox is the airplane owner and pilot
while Sonic the Hedgehog is the daredevil wing-walker. As you can see in my photo, Clucky (included in set) is also along for the ride. Don't tell
Tails, but I do believe I have seen Sonic flying the biplane in our
home.
You may wonder how we know the plane belongs to tails. That's
easy! His "tail" emblem is on the plane and hanger.
Okay, I admit it. We are all huge Sonic the Hedgehog fans! Even
now, I can hear the rings sound and the theme song in my mind from the
original Sonic video game.
This Lego set is really cool! If you love Sonic, Tails and Lego, this
is a must-have Lego set, regardless of your age.
It has 376 pieces and is recommended for ages 6+.
Not only does the set include the minifigures of Sonic and Tails, but it
also includes the Lego pieces to make the airplane, Buzz Bomber, the workshop, a toolbox
on wheels, tools, and a lounging recliner chair for Sonic to rest on while
Tails is working.
The complete airplane measures approximately 5 3/4" wingspan, 5 3/4" length (propeller to tail), 4" tall including Sonic on the wing.
