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 …
“Freak Flag” Well, the heat and humidity have arrived in Central Indiana. I think they used to call them the dog days of summer, but I prefer to think of them as the slog days of summer. There’s nothing to do but slog through this air. Anyway, welcome to the last Monday in July and …
It all started in February… The kids bought Nigel a subscription (not sure that’s the right word) for his birthday. Basically, Storyworth sends you a question a week, a day, a couple of days a week, or a month. You respond to the question. Your responses are kept somewhere…haven’t figured that one out just yet. …
“All About That Bass” The month of May must have been doing its Indy 500 imitation because it just sped by! Surprisingly (that’s sarcasm), we have an air quality alert for the next few days. I know part of that is because the temperatures are going to climb. But, there’s a part of me that …
I thought so… At the end of this past week, Nigel and I were busily planting plants and trees. Well, I was planting plants, and our oldest was planting trees. We visited a local garden center where I found the tree of my dreams. Or, maybe I should say trees. It was a clump of …

Queen of… If I am a queen of anything, it is the Queen of Procrastinators. I tell myself I work better under pressure, but, really, I just think I’m lazy. I will put off almost anything until the last minute if I possibly can. Here’s just one example. The Banana Republic rewards program used to …
A January challenge… In January, Jodie hosted a month long challenge of wearing bright colors. She did this for a few reasons: 1) Jodie loves bright colors! 2) Bright colors (think dopamine dressing) cheer us up when it’s dark. 3) The girl likes a good challenge! You may or may not have noticed I didn’t …
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 …
