Getting Around to Stuff, Some, Twenty Years in the Making
Check it out, I finally changed up my banner picture, made it a little more seasonal. I usually get that changed more regularly but I haven’t been doing much “regularly”, I still have tulips on my lap top screen.

Up In The Middle of the Night
This use to be typical of me but not for a long while now. So I don’t really know what to do with myself. I could do all my Ol‘ Befana baking but since my girls aren’t little any more no need to do that in the middle of the night. It would require me … Continue reading

A Flag On the Ceiling and a Promise Kept
I made a promise a moment ago to a new friend, A_Joyful_Chaos, (a blog well worth the read for sure) that I would attend to an award she bestowed upon me over a week ago. And even though the pumpkin patch is growing hotter by the moment I am going to take care of this … Continue reading
