It was a revelation to me when I married and moved to northern Michigan that many of the older population traveled south to Florida for the winter. This did not occur in the state I called home where...
Oh My Goodness! Doesnt every craft room need a little bit of Florida? The answer is "yes" if you love this peninsula shaped state as much as I do. I have loved the State of Florida since I wa...
SIGH! I cant tell you how many times I have stopped in to visit Renee of My Vintage Mending and lingered over the Cute as Can Be fabric creations adorning her adorable craft room. I absolutely fell i...

I have loved sidewalks for as long as I can remember. For me they call to mind the times I would plead with my father to allow me to accompany him on his daily constitutional. My father was so tall, ...
If you have read my blog for any time at all, you will have come to know that I am someone who is not comfortable in the company of others. I am a very shy person by nature. I once heard that i...
