A Nigel update… Life continues, you know. Nigel’s physical therapist is very happy with the results both of them are achieving. Nigel can now raise his right leg without using his hand. It’s sad to think how happy that makes him. I keep thinking back to last Christmas when he was still on two feet. …
I baked my first batch of Christmas cookies today…peanut butter blossoms. I’d counted the number of cookies and made sure I had that same number of chocolate kisses unwrapped. I like to have everything prepped when I cook and bake. Anyway, Nigel came into the kitchen, and I heard some scritchety scratch noise. I turned …

Finally… I’m not in love with the front porch this holiday season, but it’s finally done. Usually, we have a garland draped over the door with lights. It always looks so good (at least, I think so). I was trying to hang the doohickey that holds the garland. I needed another arm, but I only …
It’s time for a new fashion challenge! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Earlier this year, 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 …
Friends, I have to admit I took the lazy route on this one. I am tired. I am exhausted in every inch of my body. I realize many have more on their plate than I do, but I’m just plain worn out. So, I went easy on me and, maybe, on you. I would also …
