Household Thing

 I do love my blue and white things- whether it be old or new pieces-antiques or fun mugs. As sad as I am about the clocks being turned back I do like the warm cozy feeling of winter. It reminds me of hot chocolate and hot toddies at Skidmore and sitting with Mom in front of our fireplace.  Do you like the coziness of winter??

The mug is from Flowerbrook Pottery in Dorset Vermont.

Enjoy the day.

This and That

 

It’s been a long time since I have updated my blog. This is a selfie from last week. It is a clear reminder that I am now 63.I don’t feel 63. I know that my hair is grey but I see the brown.I am still working and everyone asks me when I am going to retired.

The year has been stressful.  The company that I work for was sold although one of the principals has stayed on.  COVID presented more challenges and loneliness than any one of us could imagine. I never dreamt that I would experience a pandemic. 

I am still living in my apartment and loving it. My favorite part is the convenience of not worrying about a house and the responsibilities that come with it.

Until the next post!!

Faux Pas

 I came to the realization this weekend that I am not as young as I thought that I was.  I am a big fan of Tieks at www.Tieks.com.  They have a message board where their fans interact.  I follow the board  but have never posted until yesterday.  I asked a question and members really took offense.  I asked why men wear Tieks?  Clearly that was not politically correct but I asked it innocently-no malice intended- I feel old and ignorant-

This and That

The last few weeks have been very busy.  A family friend is being married in Charleston in September.  I panicked when I thought about being in a sheath dress looking fat. I decided to take the plunge and do the Noom diet..  I find it very easy and more importantly I lost 11 pounds in three weeks.  I kid myself and say that I am shredding for the wedding.

I always feel funny when I change hairdressers. My stylist has Covid so I decided to make a change. I went to a new salon and am very pleased. I am going for a Keratin treatment on Saturday.  My hair is so frizzy lately \.  It needs the treatment.  Do you feel funny when you change hairdressers?

 

Childhood Home

 

My childhood home is up for sale again.  I sold it six years ago to a lovely couple.  They have had more children since moving in so they put the house on the market.  Our family was there for 55 years.  The current owner sent me a tour of the updates and I. Was blown away.  Do you visit your childhood home.

Jewelry

 

I admit it- I love jewelry. I had this flower ring made last year and I adore it. Are you a jewelry lover?
