We fell in love with this poster so long ago, after we lost our first Jack Russell Terrier. We saw this in the window at the Farnsworth Museum. What a treasure. Since that time very dear friends who know Jamie sent us the poster with an inscription and a JRT digging, which is exactly what Charlie looked like when he would get to digging in the yard for something.

Many people are starting to downsize and build smaller homes. I read about the latest trend (and the trend to do away with excessive hallways to maximize space). I think a lot of people think they’re sacrificing so much by not having a large home. This plan shows that you can have your cake and eat it too! Small, yes. Livable, absolutely!

I applaud those who can come up with an excellent sandwich (other than PB&J, cheese and lettuce, bologna & muenster, etc.) Something a bit different yet adds a touch of WOW. This mighty little sandwich was a delight. It was the tastiest blend of flavors, some expected and some unexpected. Absolute perfection and available nearby!

Mariella Bisson. Her paintings are a delight to the senses. Her waterfall paintings provide a sense of calm and hung in any room create a zen-like atmosphere, perfect for relaxing. You can almost hear the waterfall can’t you? Read on for the exhibition info…

The view from my window… It’s a beautiful house, don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s a little close. I love looking out and seeing this but, things aren’t always what they seem, are they?

I love this painting in so many ways. Charlie, looks exactly like he used to when he would come into the sunroom and jump up on one of the teak chairs where he would bask in the sun and ultimately take a nap. Oh, the life of Charlie – it was good.

There is a wonderful restaurant in Johns Island, South Carolina (Charleston outskirts) that needs to be applauded for their extremely good salad (and oh, their salmon is out of this world and I’m not a big salmon eater!) – it’s a small place (good to make a reservation) with excellent food. It’s consistently good, which is so important!

Janette Jones. A wonderful artist from California. I featured Janette back in 2017, a wonderful oil painting with geraniums – beautiful! I love the happiness of this painting, fabulous colors, beautifully painted flowers, so you know what they are without every single detail.

It’s hard to imagine how some artists are able to capture the little things about an animal without ever meeting them. Charlie had a funny sit, we called it his “old man sit”. He would sit like this when very relaxed. This is one of the treasured pieces we have of Charlie. We always have our eye on him…

House plans. I love them and I’m finally getting around to featuring another one. I think this plan has so much curb appeal. I love the peak and the Tudor influence. The porch is so different, so inviting! I love the lowness of it, no spindles/railings it’s just lovely! Read on, because the interior is just as fabulous as the exterior!

The need for COOL. The hot days of summer are upon us. I’ve been sharing some cooler main dishes, but a little something sweet is always nice (although it’s hard to beat watermelon, cherries, strawberries and cantaloupe right now!) – if you’re looking for something quick and delicious that you may already have the ingredients for (2) keep reading!

Steamy photo taken at 6AM. Summer is steamy as can be here in Charleston, SC – but also areas that aren’t typically steamy. So much heat and humidity spreading across the country. What do you do to beat the heat? One thought, whip up an Orange Julius…

James Richards. An accomplished artist from Georgia, there is literally nothing this man can’t paint. His ability to capture the very soul of his subject is astounding. No wonder he is such a sought after instructor (workshop information below) – James’s paintings sell like hot cakes – and they reside all over the world and in some of the most distinguished of places.

Flowers make people happy. They just do. They’re stunningly beautiful whether they’re all by themselves or mixed with other flowers. There is no ugly flower to me. If we had dandelions I would even cut those and plop them into a cute, small vase. Who says those pretty yellow flowers are weeds, ha ha.

Charleston, South Carolina. It’s hot. I love to have dinner ready early so I don’t need to be in the kitchen when it’s at its warmest. This was a wonderful meal, prepared ahead (except for the corn, which took 6 minutes). You could easily substitute a salad or whatever else you like. Everything here literally took minutes and is the freshest of the fresh!
