Docents… Traditionally, docents are guides at museums, zoos, parks, etc. They usually have lots of information and tell you what they know about a specific piece of art, animal, or plant. It’s lots of facts and figures. At the Indianapolis Museum of Art (AKA Newfields), that particular definition has fallen by the wayside. Today, the …
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) …
The weather here in Central Indiana has turned quite crisp. It’s just the way I like it. We could use some rain, though. Our yard is not looking too happy right now. The oldest and I are going to be doing some digging next spring. Our front yard has several spots where the contractors just …

An update… I’m sure you’ll get tired of these updates, but since Nigel is a large part of my life and blog, I’m going to keep you posted! He has weaned off of the pain meds which has led to a bit of an increase in pain. You would not believe the bruising. They told …
Holy heatwave, Batman! It is just plain miserable here in Central Indiana. Most of you can probably tell I’m a night owl. The temperatures have been in the 80s at 11:00pm! That’s approximately 29C! Thank goodness we have central air. The heat also makes my hair go flat right away which makes me feel even …
Old movies… I love old movies. And, by that, I mean the really old ones…like the black and white ones! One of my favorites is “Sunset Boulevard” starring Gloria Swanson and William Holden. I mean, who can forget this: Creepy, but… It’s a bit creepy, sad, and uncomfortable as you watch it, isn’t it? I …
Nigel just showed me this video of Tina Fey and David Letterman. It must have been when he was ending his late night show. She’s got on this gorgeous blue dress, and it is definitely body con! I’m guessing they had this all worked out because he’s all about how beautifully she dresses when she …
Classic clothing… How do we define classic clothing? Hmmm…I am no expert so, of course, I googled it. I don’t have a subscription to the New York Times (shocking, I know) so I couldn’t read their piece. But, I did manage to find a couple of other things. One of the suggestions was to see …
Spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere! But, I don’t think Mother Nature got the memo! The days are sunny but cool. I’ll take it as I am completely over the cold weather! Anyway, welcome to the last Monday in March and another edition of Songful Style! Suzy and Shelbee decided to riff (see what …
