I recently enjoyed lunch at a little place called Barry's Cafe in Cary, North Carolina. They offer a discount to former and current firefighters. In fact, the walls are covered with badges, helmets, and an axe or two.
Years ago, I became an EMT (emergency medical technician) for the local volunteer fire department in Rumney, New Hampshire. Later, my hubby and I joined the actual fire department. We got boots, bunker gear, helmets, and everything!
Even later, I became an emergency medical dispatcher, also known as a 911 operator, for the State of New Hampshire. To say we support rescue and safety personnel is a given. Ideas for some of my books came from my past experiences. Here are a few:
Another week, another new month, and the holiday lights are up outside our house. All that's left is to decorate the tree. It's only four feet tall and artificial. We used to cut our own tree when we lived in rural New Hampshire, but once my mother-in-law passed, we decided to use her little tree. We moved to North Carolina and into a small ranch house. The tree looks fine.
Last year, the tree went up but I never got the time to decorate it. Seems a relative was ill, then tested positive for Covid-19, which put our house into quarantine. That lasted until we got tested on December 31st (both negative) so the Christmas holiday and even New Year's were quiet celebrations.
However you enjoy the holidays, remember to keep safe and think of others by wearing your mask. It protected hubby and me.
Happy Holidays!

Many folks do not realize that their flavor magnifies as they get ripe. When this happens in our house, I drag out the flour and chop up some walnuts (or dig up a bag of chocolate-chips) and enjoy the smell and absolutely divine taste of:
Nancy's Banana-Walnut Bread
2 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Cup sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons salad oil
3/4 Cup milk
1 egg
1 Cup bananas, mashed
1/2 Cup or more walnuts or chocolate chips (I chop walnut halves into bits. Easier on the teeth)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray two 8 inch loaf pans (or one 9 inch) with PAM and flour them to prevent sticking. At Christmas, I made three smaller loafs in 7 inch by 4 inch disposable aluminum pans which makes it easier to share the final product with other home-bound folks!
Baking times: consider them done when golden brown and inserted knife comes out clean-
*two 8 inch pans, bake about 40 minutes
*one 9 inch pan, bake about 50 minutes
*three small foil pans, bake about 30 minutes
Cool at least 7 minutes, then turn onto a rack to cool. If sharing the small ones with others, leave them in the aluminum pans and wrap in more foil. Freeze any for later.
A slice of banana bread, warmed in the microwave for 10 seconds, makes a great snack anytime. Sip a cup of coffee or tea and relax with a book. If you like SWEET romance that goes along perfectly with banana bread, how about checking out my book RESCUING CHRISTMAS. Is it snowing where you live? Well, it isn't in my book, which sparks all kinds of trouble.
but where is the snow?"

The rain arrived each afternoon, but we made sure to enjoy the pool early in the day. When we decided to buy lobster and corn instead of heading to a restaurant on the pier, we got drenched when my son dropped us off at the door at Publix. Mom mentioned that if we had followed through with those plans and had parked then walked halfway down an ocean pier to the restaurant, we would have gotten even worse!
