It’s a true treat and getaway! The day prior festivities began with the decorations! Elizabeth thoroughly enjoys helping! She and Daniel gathered fall leaves and placed them here as Read More

A Thanksgiving Story!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I debated whether or not to continue posting about the holiday. I was pretty sure I would after an array of pictures taken on the big day and then I opened Elizabeth’s backpack this morning. (Yes, I opened it this morning for the first time since last Read More
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving day is upon us! Tomorrow we will celebrate with family, friends, fantastic food, and football! But most of all, it’s a time of reflection and a time to count our many blessings… A priceless piece of Daniel’s art he brought home from school! Precious turkey made from his handprint!

My Visit with Bunny Williams-Part 3
Although we are entering the tail end of November, I continue to reminisce about my visit with Bunny Williams in August. I still have that “did this really happen” feeling! Today we will have a look inside the house… Bunny first greeted us in the barn, one of my favorite rooms in “An Read More
To Paint or Not To Paint
I’ve decided to paint! Several months ago, we bought a secretary. I was in heaven. It now serves as my desk, and I really enjoy sitting, relaxing, and working at this special place. It’s a little corner I can call my own. The secretary is a rather large piece (taller than most). It’s definitely a Read More

Leaves Unfolding
I bought this tropical plant a couple of months ago. My reason for purchasing was to preserve it, but I have changed my mind. I placed it on a side table in our bedroom. It’s been there ever since. The leaves have been a nice sculptural piece of art. Since adding on the screened-in porch, Read More
November Culinary Club
This past Sunday evening, Culinary Club met at Diane’s home for a delicious meal… We started the evening with a fabulous “Harvest Margarita” created by Beth! I made the “Fried Ravioli.” I’m amazed at how many in the group have never “fried” before…this recipe called for store bought ravioli which was a great time saver. Read More
Mother-Daughter Time!
Elizabeth just had a 4 day weekend (2 extra days off of school!), and we spent some great time together. Much needed for the both of us! It’s amazing how time flies. She’ll be 7 next month! She’s at that fabulous age of joy, big girl conversation, and laughter. We had a great time making Read More
Happy Veterans Day!
What is Veterans Day? It’s a day we honor ALL of the men and women who have served in the military. It’s a day we are to reflect, to be thankful, and to pause. Pause and to say “thank you.” Reflect and really think about those who have served as well as their families who Read More
