Craziness & Renovation That has been the story of my life for the past 2 weeks.  We are having some renovation work done on the house inside and out.  That means workers inside and out, dust from sanding drywall, saws, hammers, paint.  You get the picture - basically chaos; but a good kind of chaos. ...

I believe that statement is even truer for my friends up north  as the snow drifts... Continue Reading →

Here’s to Leaving Behind a Crazy Monday and Looking at a Brighter Tuesday Yesterday was one-of-those-days.  There probably is nothing else to say except – It was Monday.  Oh, it started out pretty bleak (in my mind anyway) and went downhill from there.  My first mistake was that I woke up and from there the...

You've heard the phrase 'What a difference a day makes'. Well, that definitely applies here.  Yesterday, in Atlanta, was amazingly beautiful. The sky was clear, sun was shining, the morning air was crisp, and the high was 62 degrees. I went on a  3-mile walk that would lift any one's spirits.   Today it is... Continue Reading →

Valentine's Day, Sickness, and Tiramisu It has been an unusual 6 days since my last posting, which I believe was on Valentine's Day.   I was terribly sick on that day, but quite determined to make  a special meal for my husband and I to share. This was my menu:  As I write and share... Continue Reading →

 I love special occasions and Valentine's Day is one of those days for me.  It is  the one day that we pull out all the stops to show our love for that special someone.    *Of course, this should not be the only day to show your love.  This should be a daily happening.  Because of...
