Death Valley National Park

Well, here it is May and we just took our first road trip is 2023.Ā  Scratching off a “must-do” from the short list, we visited Death Valley National Park. Billed as the Hottest, Driest and Lowest national park, it might not seem too inviting.Ā  But none of that deterred us and I’m so glad it […]

Around Town in February

We had an unusually busy (and fun) week with various activities around town in February and here is a recap. Latin Night DF Barb got our posse all signed up for the club’s Latin Night dinner this week. It was a very fancy taco Tuesday buffet. The dĆ©cor was cute, the food was good and […]

Faux Fall Floral

(and Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches) I know, I couldn’t stand to waste that alliteration. So it stands alone.  Proudly.  And we get a little subtitle here.  The things that amuse me. And I really am going to share the faux fall floral around the house and our latest linner (lunch/dinner) for super easy slow […]

A Few New Purchases

I am sharing a few new things I got over the past week or two and what I think of them so far.  I’m not an affiliate of anyone so I’m linking for convenience. Christmas Jammies I saw these Denver plaid flannel jammies on Target.com and the price was right since they were on sale […]

Updated Entry Table

Waaaaay back in December when I took Christmas down, I decorated the table in our entry with mercury glass.  I just love that stuff. It goes with my lamps and I thought it would be a pretty transition from winter into spring.  Well, spring came and went and somehow my heart was just not into […]
