When I was teaching, we celebrated Earth Day in a big way. There were different iterations over the years. When my best friend took it over, it became stellar! She would spend weeks, setting up speakers and activities for all of the kids to do. For a couple of years, it was the entire day. …
Welcome to the very first Fashion Files hosted by Amy and me. If you don’t know Amy, her blog is Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa. I don’t really remember when I discovered her blog, but I really enjoy it. As some of you know, Kellyann and Jill used to host this link party. But, …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome back to my interpretation of a piece of art created by a very unique artist. 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 …
Nothing beats a good few pieces of jewelry in the accessories department! When you want to take a kinda meh outfit up to the next level, you can instantly transform it when you have the right set of earrings, bracelet, and necklace. Y’all know I love accessories, and Nigel has bought me lots over the …
Week 152! It’s been quite nice here in Central Indiana the last few days. Most of my perennials are showing signs of life. The hump is still rather empty. I’m hoping some of the cosmos seeds that dropped will germinate and grow. I do have one little sprout coming up from a rogue seed from …
We are nearing the end of the antibiotic stage of Nigel’s hip revision. Monday will be the last day I have to give them through his PICC line. That will be removed either Monday or Tuesday, depending on our visit with the infectious disease doctor on Wednesday (which is yesterday when you read this). Then, …
Jodie recently wrote about losing a job and what that means to some people. I have never, technically, been fired from a job. But, I did lose a job in the early 90s. It was tough for a lot of people seeking jobs back then. Hold tight for another trip down Memory Lane! College… When …
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 …
Gosh, it was strange to go back and read last month’s 10 on the 10th! I was so hopeful Nigel’s (and mine) long journey to walk was about to come to fruition. Unfortunately, as most of you know, the revision didn’t take place due to an infection in the joint. I’m hopeful we’ll know more …
Week 151! Wow! I spent all day today thinking it was Wednesday even though I know tomorrow is Friday! How’s that for being confuzzled? I had a wonderful time at the art museum today. I’m in a group that focuses on European art, and we had two docents present on different pieces of art. I’m …
