An Empty Nest
School is coming to a close and for some this means graduations are occurring either from high school, college, or even Kindergarden! Although this time is special, it can also be overwhelming and sad at the same time. This past Friday evening we were eating out. Towards the end of our meal, the kids were Read More
May Culinary Club
May is a busy time of year, so instead of our usual Sunday evening, Culinary Club met on a Thursday night at Diane’s home! It was a splendid time as usual. The dinner was outstanding… For starters, we had Smoked Salmon Spread! It was simple and a big hit! We also enjoyed this delightful Peach-Riesling Read More
Memorial Day
Yesterday, we paused to thank the individuals who currently serve our country, have served our country, and most of all to think of those who sacrificed their lives for our country!

Climbing Roses
And speaking of flowers from yesterday’s post…take a look at my climbing roses!

Cowhide Rug
The den is one of the most used rooms in our home. It’s Handyman Husband’s “room,” but he shares it quite a bit with the kids! We bought a rug for the den when we first bought our home. The colors and pattern were perfect; however, it had a woven type weave, and after almost Read More
My Latest Find
I love this story! And you know how I adore things that “tell a story!” Last September, I visited my dear friend, Jacqueline, in Fort Smith. Jacqueline and I spent many weekends antiquing in Fayetteville at the University of Arkansas, and we still love to do so when we get together. So while I was Read More
Mothers
To all the Mothers of kiddos, fur babies, or both, I hope your Mother’s Day was special!!! It sure was for me!!! Handyman Husband made sure my day was off to a great start! They each gave me handpicked cards (which were priceless), a homemade gift, and school made gifts from both Elizabeth and Daniel! Read More
Orthodox Easter
We celebrated Orthodox Easter this past Sunday, May 5. We follow the Julian calendar only for Easter. The Julian calendar and the Jewish Passover determine the date of Easter which makes Orthodox Easter different some years than Western Easter. This year we had a low key yet fun-filled and very relaxing celebration. And the church Read More
