Week One of Social Distancing is now nearly complete and we survived. So yesterday Eva and I got all dressed up and had a tea party. Three kinds of tea, cucumber sandwiches, scones, lemon curd, the works. It was just what we homebound girls needed. You may think you have no reason to get out […]
I hope your Christmas was as fabulous as mine was. Lots of family time, which is just the best. My cousin Dennis from Michigan was visiting his brother Paul, and it was just lovely to sit and visit with someone who I grew up with and don't see very often. He is an international pilot […]
My sweet son in law hosted a cookie decorating party for our Eva and some of her friends and neighbors. After eating pizza, we cleared the decks and he brought out gingerbread cookies he and Eva had made. The kids were given decorating frosting and loads of sprinkles and goodies to decorate their cookies. You […]
Christmas will be here in one week. I still have some gifts to wrap, last-minute things to pick up, a school performance to attend, cookies to bake, menus to plan and shop for, my son arriving from Ireland today, a guest room to get ready, and I have Eva overnight because her parents are entertaining […]
Hope you all had a great weekend! I got a little sewing done, and finished my piece for the snowman applique. The snowman and his broom will go on the right in the empty space. It will be just the right amount of wool applique to get me started. Of course I don't have any […]
This is just a quick check in to let you all know I am still alive. If there is anyone out there who is still reading my blog that is… We had a great Thanksgiving. It was a small gathering of just four of us, but very nice all the same. After this dinner, I […]
I've been packing for our annual trip to visit our son Ahren in Ireland. We leave in just over a week, and I am determined not to overpack this time. I swear the last two years I packed ten outfits and ended up wearing the same three over and over again. I set up my […]
Yes I really did buy two of the same book. Luckily my random number generator picked commenter number 17, Nancy Watkins, to take one of them off my hands! Congratulations Nancy. Send me an email with your address and I will get one of these in the mail to you right away! Thanks to everyone […]
My son in law knows how to do things right. He hired a professional sushi chef to come to his house and prepare five hours of sushi for 16 guests. It was amazing. Just imagine this happening in your own home and not a restaurant! The sushi master brought an assistant and they made the […]
Ozzie and I would like to wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July if you live in the US, and a happy Thursday if you don't! We plan to go to a barbecue with the family, and my corn salad that I posted on a week or so ago has been requested. […]
