It’s only been 5 months since the remodel and last week the flood came…and stood for 2 days, 3 inches deep before I went downstairs to get something……I thank God that it was ONLY rain water and not sewage. We were blessed indeed. We live on a hill, but then so do numerous springs around Read more about #156…And it Rained 10 Inches…A 2nd Re-DO[…]
It’s so hard keeping up with LaDonna! She just out-flowers me all the time. I saw her beautiful rose moss that she planted right on her rocks and then told me it was so popular you couldn’t find it anywhere. It goes on the list for spring shopping 2021.

The canvas IS who I am….my passion, talents….re-design…re-purpose. This treasure I found recently at Rusty Chandelier. I hung it in a neat space above a credenza, but the lighting wasn’t right and the more I looked at it, the more I thought it should go above the fireplace….but it would have been dwarfed by the Read more about #151…The “I Ain’t Got It Right” Dining Room YET![…]
 He gave us eyes to see, a mind to inquire, ears to hear. Can you believe the colors He created for us, the strange crazy looking creatures for our pleasure? The color palette is around us.

I come from a rich heritage of incredible people. As a 14 year old, my mother became a decorated veteran in the underground army in the Warsaw Uprising. She carried execution orders wrapped up as cigarettes in her pack. There are no words to describe my feelings when standing next to her in Warsaw by Read more about #150…You Gave It All[…]
Just when I wanted to announce that my sabbatical is on schedule…..that ALL the main floor is completely EVERYTHING IN IT’S PLACE, that the garage is done, even to the mopping of the floor….AND there is not ONE WEED in all my garden plots…2 Too in Pensacola has to tell me my signs are too Read more about #149… #2 Too Daughter Upset[…]
I played with calling this Pandemic a “NEW” normal as everyone is calling it, but that particular “new” in my life happened when I got divorced after 33 years.
