Two days away – Valentine’s Day is two days away, and there hasn’t been much time to decorate for the season around our home. Perhaps a couple of touches of love will brighten our abode. What I put together is super, super easy. A year or two ago I bought these darling beaded hearts. The […]
While in rehab, I started thinking about the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon by Helen Wise Brown. In this charming story with striking illustrations by Clement Hurd a little bunny goes through the ritual of saying goodnight to objects in his room. As I thought about this story, I began thinking about saying “Hello” to my home. My story does […]
The flowers on the desk in Room 106 came to be known as “My Garden”. I thought about calling it “My Secret Garden”, but it wasn’t a secret because the flowers were in plain sight for everyone to see and enjoy. What a bright and cherry corner these flowers created. Come visit “My Garden” The light pink […]

Block! As in years past, his strong suit is defense. Yea! He cheers when they score. In some ways, he is a […]
I never tire of the Christmas story. I try to imagine what it must have been like on that night. How amazing it must have been. Within this post I will share some of my friend Ann’s nativity sets. Many of my friends collect nativities, and they have simple sets handmade by children, plastic sets […]
The Christmas season chould not pass without me sharing some of the Christmas vignettes in Mrs. Ralph’s home. I love all the arrangements on her tables and shelves. I kid you not. I have enough pictures for many many blogs, and I am going to basically let the pictures do the talking. A sled sitting […]
From the moment you walk up the steps to Mrs. Ralph’s home, you get a clear impression of what awaits you inside. Her beautiful home has an off-set entry, and thus it has need for decorations on the walk and by the front door. Be still my heart. I love the large urns by […]
