She’s chaired this statewide event and was the Flower Show Chairman another. Elizabeth has attended since she was a baby and has “grown” very fond of this show. Read More

Ready For Spring!
Mother has always said March 1 is the first day of Spring here in Arkansas! Well, I wish the weather would begin cooperating with her thoughts! Cloudy and cold sums up our past few days. I’m so thankful to live in an area where we do experience all four seasons. So, Spring, we’re ready for Read More
Tuesday’s Tip: Watering Orchids
Growing orchids are still new to me. I first posted about orchids here. I referred to them as “dancing flowers.” They are lean, graceful, and their blooms are magnificent (although no blooms as of yet!).

Winter Decor
January is probably the one month when the “extra details” are nonexistent as far as the holidays go.

Tea Time
A few years ago, I was inspired by my friend, Amanda. She had lunch with her grandmother every week. So, a new three generation family tradition began…”Tea on Tuesdays at Two!” Not only were great memories made, but Elizabeth was exposed to having tea at a very early age (She also enjoys coffee with YiaYia…milk Read More
