A little history When I graduated from college, finding a teaching position was darn near impossible. I remember attending a senior “symposium” (aka senior meeting) letting us know only about ten percent of us would actually end up being an employed teacher.

“When Doves Cry” Usually, I begin these posts whining about how short a month has been. July is crawling like a puppy stuck in peanut butter and taking time to clean off his paws all the while having said peanut butter stuck to the top of his mouth! It is dragging, my friends! But, having …

Not mine anyway… My mom didn’t wear dresses as she got older. In fact, the last time I can remember her wearing a dress was for my youngest sister’s wedding in 1984! And, I just happen to have it as well as the one she wore to my wedding. I have no idea why I …
Scouting it out… Nigel and I have been considering moving house. Before moving to Brownsburg a few several years ago, we lived in the same house for almost 25 years. We built that one and had done many remodels and updates over the years. I loved that house, but we decided to move to be …
When it’s palazzo pants! This is the second pair of palazzo pants (similar) I ordered from Kantha Bae. I picked these up during their recent warehouse sale. Let me tell you, they are gorgeous!!! I love the subdued colors in them as well as the stripe that runs down one side and across the hemline …
