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 …

Since I retired almost thirteen years ago, I’ve been a bit lost. Blogging has helped so much with my aimlessness, but I really do miss teaching. I get some of that every spring when I do a mini retreat at my church and when I teach a class for special needs adults. But, I yearn …
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 …

Holidays… When both Nigel and I were still working, every once in a while we attended holiday parties. Nigel’s company would sometimes have the party before Christmas or after the New Year. I actually liked them better after the New Year. But, Nigel wasn’t necessarily a social butterfly (though you’d never believe it these days) …
I seem to have this penchant for picking Impressionist paintings. I have been trying really hard to find other kinds. Technically, this is a Post-Impressionist painting!

We had snow!!! Yep, we had about 3-4 inches. I’m judging because that’s about how high off the ground Jack’s potbelly is! And, he was having to jump through the snow. The dog loves snow, and I’m not sure who was happier to see it, me or him. Unfortunately, it was all gone overnight! Welcome …
