I like doing crafts. I also like Pinterest! Frankly, I love Pinterest. My friend Lynne turned me onto it and for a while I was a bit addicted. I'm amazed at what I can find among the millions of pins that pinners share every day! Food, fun, fitness...and crafts...lots of crafts. Two of my pin … Continue reading Pinterest Junkie

Stone Cold: Moving Day
I've moved, a LOT; just ask my friend Lynne who told me once to "Stop moving. I've erased your addressed so many times, I've worn a hole in the address book." All those moves happened pretty much when was in my twenties and thirties. By the time I'd hit forty, I was in one place … Continue reading Stone Cold: Moving Day
Beyond the Pale, Again: Hope It’s As Good as Yesterday’s Post
I so enjoyed writing using yesterday's prompt, Beyond the Pale; I had two ideas pop into my head at the same time.

It’s Movie Night
Who doesn't enjoy the movies? From the time I was young and the family would pile into the Chevy station wagon to head to the drive-in on a summer weekend night, I've loved seeing movies on the big screen.

Some on-line dating efforts proved occasionally to be fruitful but nothing so long-term that we had to give up our shopping, movies and dinner dates. We accompanied each other to … Continue reading Judy, Judy, Judy (Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy)
December 26th Remembered
The day after...the day kids actually get to play with the toys that were ferociously opened on Christmas day. What I remember about the day after is going through the pile of opened gifts to choose a favorite. I may have mentioned that I grew up with seven siblings, so there were always lots of … Continue reading December 26th Remembered
Amy Grant Restored My Christmas Spirit
My holiday spirit has been a challenge to find this year. I've baked, shopped, wrapped, sent cards, sponsored a family for the holiday drive, visited our elderly neighbor. The house is decorated; tree is in the window, wreaths are on the door and porch, candles are lit and the house smells like Christmas. To get … Continue reading Amy Grant Restored My Christmas Spirit
