Every day is a gift and a chance to start over…to try new things, meet new people, have new adventures. I don’t dwell on the past much, but sometimes it’s nice to reflect on happy times. Our wedding is one such day. Unlike so many brides, I didn’t stress out about my wedding. I simply enjoyed the process. I know. It’s easier said than done.
Cowboy Santa (& Some Organizing)
Talk about a weird post title for SEO, not to mention that it’s the end of February and Santa is a distant memory for most of us. And he would be for me too, except I’ve got a Santa on my porch that greets me every time I go to the cabin and there’s no escaping him. Let me ‘splain… A few years ago there
Post Surgery Update
It’s two days since I had my minor meniscus knee surgery, and I’ve been getting some emails asking about how things went so I thought I would do a quick post about it. Today is Sunday, and as you can see, I’m feeling well enough to sit down and put a quick post together. There was a lot of back and forth about when the
Surgery, Lightroom and Moving
I usually post about 3 times a week. This week I’m one short. Not because I have writer’s block. Just the opposite. There’s so much going on I don’t know where to begin. You know the feeling of having tons of clothes but nothing to wear? It’s sorta like that. Just too many choices. I want to tell you about my upcoming meniscus surgery scheduled
Small Houses
Do you have a ‘dream house’ that you see in your mind’s eye? What does it look like? Small, large, modern, traditional, victorian? How about the setting? Do you prefer lush forests, mountain or water views? While I fully appreciate the majesty and stately designs of many larger homes, I must confess I don’t dream about living in one. I much prefer the efficiency and
What I’ve Been Up To
No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, but I HAVE gotten a Mac, so it’s almost the same thing. 😉 We need an additional computer at the office, so I figured we would use the one that I’ve been using for what seems like the last three decades and get a new one for the house, which is where I work my
Wrapping the Year Up
Although we had a lovely Christmas, I had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit. Every year it seems to come earlier and earlier, and by Christmas I feel like if I hear one more rendition of Dominick the Donkey I’m gonna wrap my stocking around my neck and call it a day. Things have been relatively quiet in blog land. I think this
The Good, The Bad, and You Guessed It, The UGLY!
Now that the year is quickly coming to a close, I was thinking about some of the projects I’ve blogged about this year and thought it would be a good idea to highlight some of the ones I really think you should give a try and one project in particular that maybe you shouldn’t. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or do projects all the time
Paper Mache Glitter Houses
Last year I made these glitter houses which I posted about here, and this is about the extent of my Christmas decorating at the cabin. As I’m typing this, I’m not at the cabin, but our rental, and I’ve done such little decorating it’s not even worth mentioning. It’s cold and windy today, and the decorations are in the basement of the detached garage (yes, you
Two Brothers From Bari-Epilogue
This is a narrative written by my cousin Billy as was told to him more than a quarter of a century ago by our great uncle Dominick, our paternal grandfather Nicola’s brother, pictured below. These last few chapters concludes the story of our family and their struggles as they immigrated to the United States in the early part of the 20th century. If this is
