I think some of you will be inspired by Super Sister’s bathroom, and I wanted to share it with you. Be still my heart. I never cease to be amazed at her and her unique style. The walls are painted a creamy buttery pale yellow. I love the white beadboard that comes about halfway up […]
While the paperwhites were reaching for the stars, and one amaryllis bulb displayed its crimson glory, there was another amaryllis bulb that did not bloom. From the beginning, one amaryllis bulb was larger, and had a longer “neck” that displayed a green stalk. Oh, Little Bulb did have a hint of a stem. While Big […]
Pretty Baby has a bright and cheerful room. Momma Jenny and Aunt Becky worked hard to make her a room that is girly but not too frilly. This room combines modern and nostalgia touches. I like it. I love it. Walls were painted a bright green called Peas in a Pod. It is by Behr, […]
Meshack’s Bar-be-que is in a shack – trust me on this. Maybe that is the meaning of the name – Meshack (My shack). Or could the name be a reference to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who survived the burning fire as recorded in the Bible (Daniel chapters 1-3)? I see the analogy – the pure […]
Minetta has a new hobby – Geocaching. Have you heard about it? Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. (From Geocaching.com) The website claims there are about 2 million Geocaches […]
Anytime I get to have lunch with Carolyn and Minetta I consider it a treat. Our lunch destination on this day was downtown Plano – Jorg’s Cafe Vienna. Jorg’s is a family run cafe that brings a little of Austrian cuisine to the neighborhood. It is also considered a beer garden, but I wouldn’t know […]
It is like the Odd Couple – Felix and Oscar – when two different businesses share the same building. Just like the movie – it makes me laugh. While in Austin I noticed an Allergy Clinic that shared space with a Subway restaurant – strange but true. The Austin Antique Mall is in the same […]
Chocolate – It does the body good! Honestly it is a health food filled with chemicals that makes one feel wonderful. I like it. I love it. Cocoa solids contain alkaloids such as theobromine, phenethylamine and caffeine. These have physiological effects on the body and are linked to serotonin levels in the brain. Some research […]
Christmas decorations are put away. More exactly – they are crammed into the closet. The home’s feeling a little bare. I wanted the dining room table to be wintery, cozy, and inviting. Here is how it began. While shopping the Pottery Barn sale (Wish I would have gone earlier.), Ever-Lovin’ said, “That hedgehog is cute.” […]
Basketball season has begun and there are games to attend. For forever and a day, Hot Rod played Upward’s Basketball, but this year the church decided to join the YMCA league. Hot Rod is a sixth grader, and these boys can play ball. It is fun to watch. Be still my heart! Some of these […]
