Winter is my least favorite season and I do not like to be cold. Hence, our move to Phoenix. But. It IS winter and I’m trying to get through it. Honestly. I have flowers blooming on the patio. I’m out walking or running every day. I even moved my office outdoors for some afternoon sun. […]
While I still love our bedroom furniture and want to keep it – including our headboard – the bed-rails and box springs are dated. It has become increasingly hard to find bedding that includes a bed skirt to accommodate that set up. Because I want new bedding, this was a perfect time to update our […]
Wow, I don’t think I really have the energy for any big organization projects right now, because we did a few small, quick organization projects this week and I’m pooped! Let me count the pooped ways. The house became a MESS while we were in the midst of our projects so I cleaned early Friday […]
I know that sounds a bit like a business briefing. Well, business is my background, you know. Hard to change these stripes. But here we are in the first quarter and I’m making some plans. Not resolutions, mind you, plans and I’ll be sharing over the next week or so. The holidays were used for […]

Hey, buddies, how are you doing? Hanging in there? Wishing this was over? Having a restful, peaceful time? Totally stressed out? A little of all of the above? Many are happy 2020 is over and looking forward to a better year ahead. But. Just in case, I thought it might be a good idea to […]
Do you have memories of attending church and then going to Grandma’s for a big Sunday dinner? I do and my grandma had been a farm girl and she cooked big time. Those Sundays are sweet in my memories. But things are a little different around here. We play pickleball on Sundays and then usually […]
I am always happy to share a positive shopping experience and this week I received shipments from two companies with excellent customer service. Here’s the scoop. Chewy.com Roxy is experiencing renal issues (common in cats but serious) and needs to eat prescription food. The first two options she tried, she ate a couple times and […]
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. […]
