Weeks 148! It’s been a quiet week here at Haus der Mitte. But, I’ll take quiet over hospital any day of the week. Nigel and I have fallen into a routine, and life just looks a little different than it used to. My boys have been rockstars, coming to fill in for me when I …
Life lately… It has been a few weeks, my friends! Nigel was scheduled to have his hip replaced last Tuesday, but there was a weird bacterial infection present. So, they put in a spacer which will also diffuse antibiotics for six weeks. I have to administer antibiotics through a PICC line. I’m just happy he’s …
A Nigel update… If you want the nuts and bolts of the latest in the saga of Nigel’s hips, you can read it here in the first paragraph. We came home on Thursday even though I was really hoping for one last night at the Hospital Hilton (that’s sarcasm, folks). Honestly, is there anything better …
Style Imitating Art… It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged …
Weeks 147! Well, my friends, I’m writing this to you from Nigel’s hospital room. Things didn’t go quite the way we thought they were going to go. Since I feel like y’all are both my friends and therapists, I’m going to share just the nuts and bolts. About two weeks ago, NIgel’s surgeon withdrew some …
It’s time for another Global Writing Challenge prompt. Our current membership consists of Deb’s World, Suzy Turner, Rosie Amber, Within a World of My Own, and me. Guess what? Leslie is back! She’s now blogging on Substack. We have another possibility but are still waiting to hear definitively. Debbie chose this month’s theme, and I can’t wait to read …
I know many of you long time followers will gasp at this one, but I’m ready for winter to leave Indiana. I love winter, don’t get me wrong. But, it’s kinda worn out its welcome with all the cold temperatures. I loved the snow, but that cold was bitter. This was another one of those …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome back to my interpretation of a fun and unique piece of art. Salazar, Shelbee, and I are the curators. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator …

You may recognize that name as one of my co-hosts on the Songful Style challenge. You may also already subscribe to her blog, Suzy Turner. If you do, you already know Suzy is the author of several fiction books. But, she has decided to write a non-fiction book about midlife and asked several people to …
Welcome to the March preview of 10 on the 10th! Last year, I thought I came up with a very clever 10 on the 10th prompt: 10 irrational things you would do. I loved that one. But, I also don’t like to repeat things. Nigel (even though you now know his name is Mike) is …
