Remember when you could… I have to chuckle at myself some times. I have reached the age when the words, “I remember when” come out of my mouth more and more often. Just the other day, I was telling my grandson you could buy a candy bar for a nickel! Yes, for those of you …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. 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 for that piece. Shelbee was this week’s curator …
If you read my post about breaking rules, you’ll already know who this beauty is! She’s my fill-in photographer and my oldest granddaughter! I just can’t get over the fact she drove over to my house yesterday! The years between swaddling her up and rocking her to sleep and seeing her drive away just flew …
Week 115! I do hope wherever you live, you’re staying cool (or warm). We are under a heat advisory for the next day or so. Today, the real feel was 105 (40.5C). I feel so badly for anyone who has to work outside in this weather. But, the same goes for very cold weather, too. …
Rules… Now, I’ll be the first to admit I am a rule follower. I think it’s kinda inherent when you’re a teacher. You expect rules to be followed, and eventually, you become a rule follower. But, I think fashion rules are really just guidelines. It’s kinda like the speed limits on 465 around Indianapolis…55 is …
My friends, it is rough out there! We have been in the high 80s/low 90s (29/33C) for several days. I’m afraid to look too far into the future predictions. We have had lots of rain yet everything is very dry. The grass is green but crunchy. I don’t remember summers being this hot when I …
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last 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 …
The first photo is Jack soon after we got him in 2018. The second was earlier this year. Westie puppies are just adorable…they really look like little polar bears! It’s terrible, but I don’t really remember what Max and Pete were like. Well, we actually got Pete when he was four months old. I bet …
Week 114! Let’s just get this out of the way. It’s hot and humid here in Central Indiana. It’s in the 90s (33C) with high humidity. It’s like walking through a pool of Jello™ that hasn’t set yet. But, the good news is I’ve started a walking regime. For many years, Nigel and I used …
An update… I am so glad to have finished with my docent graduation tour. I promise to write a post about it soon. I have already scheduled my first public tour as well as scheduling additional training for two different kinds of docent experiences. I’m so glad Nigel doesn’t mind me being gone so much. …
