Last Friday, Nigel and I celebrated 50 years of being together. We went on our first date May 26, 1973! I know, I know…I was only 1 or so! I’ve told our story before (here). Yes, I was young, but when you know, you know, right? I had been reminding him of the occasion for …
Since February, I have joined the fabulous women from Is This Mutton, MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Grownup Glamour, Frugal Fashion Shopper, and Following My Muse for a global writing challenge. So I was thrilled when Gail asked if I wanted to be a permanent member of this group. Obviously, I accepted! We also have three other new writers in the …
Since February, I have joined the fabulous women from Is This Mutton, MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Grownup Glamour, Frugal Fashion Shopper, and Following My Muse for a global writing challenge.

Say what… If you think I’m going to bemoan the fact that it’s already April, think again! I’ve always liked April for many reasons. I think the biggest reason is because it’s when Spring starts to really appear here in the Midwest. Another reason is my mom’s birthday is in April as is my oldest …
Number 3! It seems many of you enjoy the words and photos much more than just me blathering on and on. I like photos to clarify things, too. If you’re new to the blog, this is my monthly recap with a few opinions thrown in. Those opinions are the “for what it’s worth” part of …

Suzy and Shelbee decided to riff (see what I did there) on Style Imitating Art only with music! Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, Suzy of The Grey Brunette, Michelle of Funky Fashion Style, …
Memories… Once upon a time, I remember thinking I would have made “it” when I owned a pair of green shoes! Isn’t that a weird thing to think? You’re probably wondering where in the world I came up with this idea! As always, there’s a story. Many, many years ago, we were in church waiting …
Something new… As you can tell from the graphic, I’m joining in on a new challenge. This one has nothing to do with fashion, though! And, yes, I love to play in the snow! These photos are from about 10 years ago when we lived in Northeast Indiana. And, they are not black and white…these …
Happy New Year to all of you! My Norwegian boyfriends were talking about how long one should say that the other day. They decided up until Epiphany. I realize we’re a few days away, but it seems appropriate given the topic today! I remember calculating how old I would be when 2000 would arrive. I …
Bucket list item… I am one of those people who loves snow! I love to wake up in the morning and see white where there had previously been green. Is there anything better than a pine tree with branches dusted with glistening snow? Well, yes, there are lots of things better than that, but you …
