Hello, friends! I hope your week has gone well. Mine has been a flurry of appointments and shopping with my oldest granddaughter. We shared a delicious piece of cheesecake at that one restaurant (you know the one). Sometime this summer, I’m going shopping with my youngest granddaughter. I know exactly which store we’ll be entering. …
Week 109! How’s the weather in your neck of the woods? Summer has arrived regardless of what the calendar says. It’s been warm and a little more humid than I like. My flowers are growing well even though I’m in a losing battle with at least one bunny. Some kind of bird has decided one …
It’s time for another Global Writing Challenge prompt. Our current membership consists of MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Women Over 50 Living Well, Suzy Turner, Once Upon a Time Happily Ever After, Rosie Amber, and me. Sue chose this month’s theme as it is her Word of the Year. I must say, she has definitely bloomed throughout the year. If …
I can’t believe we are already on the tenth of June! It honestly feels like we were just celebrating Nigel’s birthday in February. Life seems so much brighter these days. It’s funny how that happens. Nigel is now off the major pain meds, and the loopiness is gone (thank goodness). He still gets up several …
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 10 on the 10th is coming up. If you’d like to play along, I’d love to have you join in on the fun! There will be a link party, too! The lineup… From her Style Tips Series, Angie at Your True Self Blog has a new one to share: an easy way to dress up a black tee. It …
Week 108! We are now two weeks post-op. Nigel had his first appointment, and it went so well! He’s thrilled with the way his left hip is responding. Actually, I don’t know which one of us is happiest! He’s even beginning to talk about vacations next year! Friends, that’s a big one because he’d convinced …
I always feel like the rabbit in Alice! I’m always running late with the 10 on the 10th previews. I think about them way too early, and then I forget. But, at least, I get them out a few days ahead of time. I thought we’d try something completely new this month. Instead of just …
A couple of weeks ago, Nigel and I were walking somewhere, and I noticed shadows moving ahead of us. I told him we were chasing shadows. He just thought I was goofy. But, I thought Chasing Shadows sounded like a really good idea for a blog post. Where will that take me, though? You can …
I think this is such a sumptuous painting, don’t you? The last of Henry VIII’s queens was Katherine Parr. Unfortunately, we don’t know who painted this portrait, but it’s beautiful. If you’d like to read more about the artist, the art, and my interpretation, you can find that here. I’m so happy to show you this …
