An exciting new addition in our house means our kitchen is no longer the site for jigsaw puzzle assembly. We got a puzzle table. And it’s in our bedroom. It’s so pretty. And then. Guess what? It’s too dark in there. So I had to order a new floor lamp. But I was going to […]
Simple fall dĂ©cor is on tap this year. I am literally spending no money, using what I have, paring down what I decorate and enjoying the season. Well, I might also be just a bit lazy. What’s to enjoy? Summer is always my favorite season and decreasing sunlight causes a bit of anxiety for me. […]
The polar bear paint was not even dry on the walls and I came up with a new project. One to do with a saw and a nail gun and measuring and paint. And a visit to Home Depot. So of course, the project wasn’t for me. The beautifully white breakfast bar was doomed to […]
Well, the house is freshly painted in the new Polar Bear color and we are both happy with the way it turned out. And now. Comes the post paint pick up and put back together part. Which took the entire weekend. Sunday was rainy so honey-dos were not so painful. And having the TV going […]

Remember the recent post about my bicycle? I really love toodling around on my bike with no agenda. And as I mentioned, I don’t bike for exercise, just for pleasure. Except for the part where my buns are in misery on Day 2, and then Day 3 never happens. Somehow the pleasure gets lost along […]
Always on the hunt for the perfect running shoe and now I have a new shoe rack to home them after my morning exercise. New Balance Running Shoe Fresh Foam More 2 is my latest purchase in the search for running shoes. As each year goes by, the miles spent running decreases, but I still […]
Have you noticed the shorter days yet? Can you sleep in just a tad later because it’s not bright and sunny at 4:30 a.m. with birds chirping? And the cats getting twitter pated? Can you light a candle in the evening because it’s actually dark before you go to bed? Okay, is it only me […]
