It’s not always about Chanel. Yes it is — well, I say yes, our bank account says no. Whatev. Moving on. As much as I loves me some designer fashion — especially Chanel – I really don’t like to...
I love candles. I have candles covering virtually every surface in every room of our home. I don’t light candles while my tugboat man is gone. Not anymore. There’s a very good reason for this. I...
A beat up edition of The Cottage Physician – published in 1892 – has been around my house forever; I’m not sure where it came from but I’ve always been fascinated reading about diseases and cures....
