Home

 I cannot believe that I have been in my apartment for 7 years!  It’s amazing how time flies. When my Mom died 7.5 years ago I never thought that I would be able to move. Mentally I was ready but physically there was so much work to do.  She was in her house for 55 years!!

Hope you are off to a good New Year!! 

Charcuterie

 Who doesn’t love charcuterie? I had my neighbor over the other night for a glass of wine and charcuterie. I had fun assembling the tray and hope to do more in the future. I may try a candy board too.

Happy New Year to all!!!

2022

 

Who can believe that the year is over?  The older one gets the quicker the time passes!  It’s that time of year again when we take stock of the year that is ending and the upcoming year.  My resolutions include saying no more-focusing on some hobbies and improving this blog-  what are your resolutions?

The Past

 

Holidays can be joyous and hard. The past creeps up on us.  It’s a time for joy, reflection, and relaxation. Another year is about to start . I have been thinking about my late parents and how they would be affected by COVID and the isolation that it has brought. On a happier note I think of how thrilled my Dad would be with all of the technology that we have today(he passed away in1986) and I think of how much my Mom would love to see her Grandchildren.

I hope that you have a good Monday!

Choices

 I have been down this holiday season.  Normally I embrace the season. This year not so much. I am stressed over some things in my life.  I am haunted and empowered by the phrase "every choice has a consequence".  I keep thinking about my past and whether I could have done things differently. Why did I make the choices that I made.  Why wasn't I a better Grand Daughter -a better daughter earlier in life-a better ?

Keeping it Blue and White

 I just love chinoiserie and anything blue and white. WhenzSara Fitz collaborated with Chappy Wrap the purchase of this blanket was a no brainer!  It makes the best gift!  Happy shopping!
