Great Product: Trader Joe’s Dryer Balls!
I’m sure you’ve heard of dryer balls. Made with wool, they’re balls (tennis ball size) that you toss in the dryer with your wet clothes. I’ve read that it makes your load dry faster, keeps clothes softer and untangled. I’ve also read it can help with static electricity which usually gets me at times. I did some research and…

We had a few errands to run the other evening. So we headed out expecting the every day traffic, and it didn’t disappoint. So we took an alternate route and this was our view. How stunning to live in such a beautiful area. January in Charleston, sunset. It kept getting better and better. I mean, THESE CLOUDS!!!! Wow…

So far, 2026 is proving to be a motivational, “get things done” kind of year. From drawers to moving furniture around (again) and the subsequent cleaning that comes with each move, it’s exciting to be in the same house, yet have it feel so different. Future 2026, make a shift from white walls to walls with color? We’ve always loved saturated color, darker colors. Then made a change to all white. Fresh. Now, it’s getting tiresome. Especially with all…

On a few streets in the historic neighborhoods in Charleston, SC (not on the peninsula) there are the most gorgeous live oak trees. Many of them have been here since 1927. The Spanish moss grows thick. It’s how we can quickly see which way or how strong the wind is blowing. It’s graceful and beautiful with the sunlight shining through it.

Well! We can definitely add a few more candles to the cake since this photo was taken. We were in Michigan, and my dad made a cake for Fred’s birthday (with MANY layers). My dad disappeared into the kitchen and when I popped in looking for him he was in the midst of baking up a storm. It was getting late…

Today is a big day for several reasons – but it’s also a day to be grateful/blessed for growing up in a loving environment. I don’t take that for granted, I am thankful every single day. This is my family on our sailboat many (many, many) years ago. I vividly remember the curtains my mom made for the boat, they were a very cool purple/gold/off white stripe. I ran across this photo of a photo and LOVE IT!

I don’t have a lot of “stuff” that I keep. Mentally, too much “stuff” can be exhausting to some people (me!). However I do have a few treasures that I have saved from when I was a (very young) kid. I’ve always loved paper (still do), writing, reading, art. Some things never change…

A year ago, WHO would have thought that we would be adding “washing masks” to our weekly reportoire? This was a chilly day, I washed the masks and then needed to find a sunny spot for them to dry. Hehe… Worked like magic! Also a tip for getting the nose piece back in place…

Glorious! The arrival of fall like weather is nothing short of glorious to me. I am so excited for hot and humid weather to be on its way out! I am looking so forward to fresh air, cool breezes, open windows, flannel and polar fleece.
There, I said it. Ha… I am in my happy place when I can be *me* – born and raised in Michigan, here are a few of my fall memories…

A Photo From the Archives | Rockport, ME
I have so many images on my computer – it’s getting a little mind boggling. Last year I spent a good week going through images and deleting. But I love so many of them and keep them – time to “spring clean” again! Continue reading “A Photo From the Archives | Rockport, ME”

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year with my niece and her family – they’re on top of things and already had their Christmas tree up and decorated… so of course I had to snap a few photos of their ornaments! Beautiful! Continue reading “A holiday message!”
