So this happened today: Never give up. After so many years and starts and stops and hiccups and bumps in the road, here it finally is. It’s not perfect but it is pretty freaking OK for a first effort and I am happy. Actually, I am thrilled to pieces. Squeeeee!! AND it is on Amazon… Continue Reading

Our Lady
Nope, not Catholic. Or French. But I have always loved Notre Dame Cathedral for the history and the architecture and the skill and the art of her builders. I imagine the thoughts and hopes and prayers and dreams of the workers infused into the raw materials. What were they thinking as they crafted something most… Continue Reading

First World Problems
Oh. My. Gosh. I apparently had a paper napkin in a pocket and it went through the washer. And the dryer. I didn’t realize the lint trap in the dryer could hold that much fluff…and all this from a small napkin. Yikes. I shook clothing out, used up half a lint roller and am still… Continue Reading
The New Gentleman in My Life
Ohmygosh the best thing has happened! I have a new gentleman in my life…handsome, classy, great smile, impeccable manners and furry muppet feet. This is how it happened: I have new neighbors and they have two little kids and a dog. Said dog doesn’t get out as much as he would like and that’s where… Continue Reading
