Speaking from experience… Last week, I mentioned I had gone to a women’s retreat but had to leave early. I was very lucky another woman had come and was only staying for the day. Once I saw her and realized the ramifications, I was so relieved. You’re probably wondering why, right? I didn’t double check! …
I was not going to talk about the weather, I promise. I wasn’t, but then it changed so dramatically. Last Monday, we had the air conditioning on. Nigel turned the furnace on Thursday or Friday…just to see if it was working! We have had very cool days in the 50s (10C) and lows in the …
No coffee, though… I am one of the few people you probably “know” who doesn’t like coffee. I’ve tried to like it; I’ve even tried the flavored coffees. But, it’s just not my thing. I do love the smell of it, though. So, I don’t necessarily get excited when pumpkin spice time rolls around when …
On my mind… I have been looking for a new rug for the dining room…hahaha!!! It’s not a room; it’s a sad, pathetic space stuffed full of my dining room furniture! I realize most people who have built in our neighborhood are downsizing their lives and are my age or older. They have not only …
I apologize from the beginning. There will be no photos of pumpkins in this post. But, I do have pumpkins on my mind. We went to Newfields (aka Indianapolis Museum of Art) today. The architects knew what they were doing when they designed the gift shop. One full (almost) wall of the gift shop is …
Number 8 Well, August is coming to an end, and I, for one, am ready. We began the month with lots of rain and have beautiful yards to show for it. But, this past week, the weather turned hot and humid with heat indices around 107F (41.7C). That is miserable. We also have an air …
Has this been the strangest summer (Northern Hemisphere, of course), weather-wise? I know some of you are sweltering; some of you are freezing, and some of you have had way too much rain. We started off the summer with lots and lots of dry hot days. I was really worried about our grass and newly …
You know, coming up with titles is hard. There’s that SEO to worry about as well as trying to interest readers. Anyway, I like matchy matchy things and usually wear some version of it all the time. It might be my earrings match my shoes, or my shirt matches my bracelet. It just makes sense …
Number 7 The last two months have been rather stressful. I’ll spare you the details, but I had surgery on July 5th. My energy levels have been pretty depleted for most of the month. Most days, I feel better, and then, BAM! I feel like I hit a wall, or I’m all up in my …
This is a sponsored post. A little background… As many of you know, I have struggled with thinning hair for a bit now. There are some things I do every day that I shouldn’t…like washing my hair. Actually, I don’t wash my hair every day. I tend to wash my hair every Monday, Wednesday, and …
