L.L. Bean Boots – An American Icon!
🎶The boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do…🎶
Ok, so these aren’t technically boots – I have had the LL Bean boots as well – and they’re just as awesome. I’ve owned Continue reading “L.L. Bean Boots – An American Icon!”

My Swiffer… Charlie!
Who needs a Swiffer when they have a Jack Russell with long hair that everything is attracted to?
A quick wrap with red cabbage, havarti and hummus!
My latest addiction… lunch each day consists of a homemade wrap (Trader Joe’s) heated for a few seconds on each side – Continue reading “A quick wrap with red cabbage, havarti and hummus!”
Adding to the collection…
Barbara Biel creates the most amazing hearts and crosses. No two are exactly the same. They are so special. We have bought them as gifts throughout the years but never bought one for ourselves. Thanksgiving we bought the cross, and I bought the heart this year for Fred for Christmas. They have larger of both that are amazing, but the small ones are magnificent and look so dramatic in the sun, don’t they?
Man’s Best Friend
We have great windows for Charlie in our sunroom. It’s where he spends a great deal of time. Watching for anyone “suspicious” – he is wonderful about letting you know when someone is approaching – he watches for the cats, birds and the squirrels that climb in the tree and sit and stare at him.
Snow Days – Charleston, SC
This may look like a regular snow day to most of you well-seasoned-in-snowy-weather peeps. But here in tropical, sunny Charleston, SC this was a rarity. A very welcomed one! I’ve never seen so many people outside enjoying themselves. You have to admit, it’s really cool as a kid, but as an adult, it’s JUST as much fun. We had about 5″ of wonderful snow – some areas around here received almost 8! As I write this…

This post may look familiar to some of you who are on my mailing list. This is the one time I hope no one opened their email, ha ha. I write my posts ahead of time and schedule them to publish (appear online). Well, since this was scheduled for 01/02/18 – I had forgotten to change the year from 2017 to 2018 (this happened in December) – so it published it immediately. I heard *ding* and saw my email.
Ruh. Roh. So please forgive me, won’t be the last time this year I bet 🙄 – Happy Day to you – barbara
Ahhh, it’s that time of year – to set goals – might as well get in on the fun, and join the masses that have goals to eat healthier, exercise more, learn to cook or maybe a new language, read more books the list goes on and on…
Some of my favorites:
👍Learn to say “No” sometimes – it’s OK. You can’t be everywhere at the same time and it’s hard when you’re stretched thin with work, home, life to try to fit in one more thing. Sometimes it’s barely possible. It’s OK to say no (thank you for teaching me this, Mom!).

Happy New Year – Today begins year 8!
