Storage Units and Birthday Bashes
By · 20 Comments
It's official. We are some of "those people" who are renting a storage unit! Yikes. How did we get there? Quite simply put---we got there because Chris's dad's house in Ohio has sold and we don't have time to UHaul our treasures across the country right now. Whew. We had an exhausting but productive weekend and I wanted to share a bit of our adventures. Chris and I went and secured said storage unit on Saturday morning. Great owner and great conversation. I quipped to her that … [Read more...]

So You Say You Like Succulent?

I am always on the look out for neat things to have around my house and outside. We had our deck redone late last summer (got to spend one whole weekend on it before we temporarily moved to Ohio) and I am very anxious to start using it this year. We have a fabulous ironwood table set that we brought back from Australia that is still unassembled in the garage as our old deck had benches and it would not fit! That may be a project for the husband---it was all I could do to put together the … [Read more...]

Holding Grudges

I have to admit that I have a tendency to hold a grudge. I "say" that I don't. I say that I forgive and all of that but in reality it hit me smack in the face that I have been very guilty of not forgetting and forgiving. Today I read an article about a man who had said something to me in the past that really hurt me.

Teapot Tuesday
By · 17 Comments
This teapot is an itty bitty one that I got in the gift shop at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas years ago when Chris and I took a trip there. I fell in love with the bright colors and paid way more for it than I probably should have at the time but hey---it was Vegas!!! It is made by Rondo and I have not seen any other like it since then though I am sure they have them in gift shops everywhere. … [Read more...]
