The lighting outside was pretty decent this morning so I decided to snap a few pics of my gardens and containers before I headed to the office. I wonder if my neighbors ever see me wondering around with my iPhone at 7:30 a.m. and wonder what I’m doing? Although … we’ve lived here for 16+ years […] Read more…

Another post so soon? I know – what is happening in my world right now? 😉 I just had to share a couple of moments I had with Joe today. Teacher Man left this morning for a two-day golf trip with his good friend, Jim, so Joe and I had the house to ourselves. Joe […] Read more…
My staycation has been … peaceful. Relaxing. Stress-free, even. As much as I love to travel (and I do!), there is something grounding about being able to stay home, follow my own schedule, do what I want to do around the house – when I want to do it. I’ve spent the past couple of […] Read more…
