I’m married to a DIY- GUY. You know, “Do-It-Yourself” — which is both a blessing and a curse. I must admit that it is more on the “blessing” side of life though. I’m pretty sure my DIY-GUY, a.k.a. Drummer Boy can do just about anything I can dream up in my “remodel, redo, redecorate & … Read More
The Fox and the Hound
If you’ve ever seen photos of Yorkshire Terriers — or stuffed-toy Yorkies, you may have noticed that often times they have a little pink tongue sticking out. Our Yorkie, Maddie is no different. However, she has an EXTRA long tongue….and she likes to lick the air with it! At this point, it isn’t cute — … Read More
Out of the closet
I’m amazed, ashamed and astounded at all the CRAP we have accumulated, acquired, and stored. CRAP that we don’t need yet let it take up space in our home — cluttering our lives and space. Stuff we no longer use – (but someday might “need”) —that we just “put” somewhere. Like the closet, the garage, … Read More
All in a week

Save, Toss, or Give-away?
What the heck….it’s midnight and I’m just now starting my blog post. That’s what happens when our kids are home from college….we somehow start to think we can stay up as late as they do. Tonight it was unintentional — but it happened. I should have known I was in for a late night when … Read More

October evening
Tonight was the perfect night for gathering with friends for some warm chili and snacks by the fire… enough said.
Cheri gets scared
Our two youngest came home from the university this afternoon. along with their laundry, laughter, smiles, jokes and hungry tummies. So we let them choose a place to eat. I realize good moms would have made their favorite meal — but I have a wicked cold and I worked today — so don’t judge. Picking a … Read More
