Our plan for the day is to fuss, organize, and buy some lamps. The fuss and organize part is to change and rearrange where this table is, and move those boxes downstairs. Then we’ll hang our hooks by the doors, so coats and hats and gloves can find a permanent home. I still have empty…

I don’t know about anybody else, but seatbelts like to creep around my neck and threaten to strangle me. This happens when I am a passenger and when I am driving so it may have to do with the shape of my body. In any case it is not a new problem and it is…

From our house to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Our turkey is in the oven at my parents, the ham is in the oven at our house.

I am always amazed at how holidays manage to come together and blossom into something memorable. My wonderful husband, sister-in-law, younger brother, and fabulous niece are all cooking and adding to the feast.
