It's a dreary and windy day, the leaves our neighbors never rake :-{ are blowing around and dancing about in the air. Lake Michigan is on a flood warning from Superstorm Sandy until early evening and the waves are more like an ocean instead of a lake. It seemed like a perfect day to [...]
We hubs finished the dining room window repairs last week. The area rug was cleaned and the room is all dressed up for fall. Isn't there's something missing? Where's the furniture?

I haven't been out much the last few weeks, been under the weather. Today hubs and I headed out for an early dinner which unexpectedly turned into an "out 'n' about in the neighborhood excursion. We were headed to the restaurant, haven't been to in a while, and took a wrong turn. As we [...]

Morning, I've always loved dishes, been a dish girl for as long as I can remember! My first set of dishes were from my ex mother-in-law back in the 70's. I've never liked the set, it was way to "traditional" for me back then. The funny thing is I've never broken a piece of that [...]
