Putting together a simple mimosa bar and bloody Mary bar adds fun and several options to a brunch menu with very little effort. A very casual Sunday brunch has become our quarantine habit this year. After our early morning Sunday pickleball match, our small group all contributes to brunch afterward – usually at the pool. […]
Is it possible to get out of any store for less than $100 anymore? I know, I sound like one of those geezers who say, “I can remember when a candy bar cost a dime.” But, I wanted to refresh the plants on the back patio for the winter and man, those few plants and […]
Have you heard of Earthing – the process of grounding the human body and its purported health benefits? On a recent podcast I heard, a woman said that she bought a grounding pad and it eliminated her joint pain and helped her sleep through the night. Sign me up! I have heard the benefits of […]
This week’s home improvement project was super sexy. We had the ceilings taped and mudded. Now they are ready for paint. Yes, we know how to have a good time AND spend money. You might remember last November, during one rain storm after another, we had our roof replaced. Where there were leaks, there was […]

I guess it’s been a slow week around here, because honestly, the big news here is that I am reacquainting myself with the outdoors. The weather is so mild and delightful; I moved my home office to the patio. We are opening all the doors and windows in the morning to let in the fresh […]
I am easing into fall around here. Our temps are still reaching into the 100s during the days, but the days are shorter and it just feels like fall. So I’m starting to add a few things here and there in my home to mark the season. I am NOT shopping for any new autumn […]
I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. We continue to carry on as if it’s summer here and throughout much of the West, but as close as Flagstaff, the weather will be changing. They will be flirting with freezing night temperatures and my sister, Susie, who lives in Colorado Springs, will get her […]
