10 on the 10th 11.2020: Thanksgiving Q & As

Sweet friends, talking turkey today for 10 on the 10th 11.2020.  Thanksgiving here in the U.S. is just a few shorts weeks away.  And I venture to say this year’s holiday may look nothing like Thanksgiving from years past.  Just two weeks but I am not certain how the day is going to pan out […]

Sentence a Day, 11.2017

Sweet friends, Here we are again with another post in the “Sentence a Day” series.  And as I type this we are already into the last month of this crazy-fast year.  I just don’t know how it’s possible that I am writing my last sentences for 2017.  These days I don’t dare blink for fear […]

Happy Thanksgiving from My Table to Yours: Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I’m as full as a tick, as my Missouri mama would say.  While I didn’t completely clean my plate – the one in the photo above is actually PC’s  – I didn’t leave much for the dishwasher at Bob Evans to do. Which reminds me of a little joke… What do you […]

Hello

OOTDs and SIAs: My Fashion Haus 07.2020
In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here...

Let’s Be Friends

Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashi Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashion Haus 01.2021.  First 'fashion' post of the shiny new year.  And this one is a 2'fer.  Last month's fashion haus post was an 8'fer.  A real bargain because I shared 8 different looks.  Most of them started with a monochromatic base to which I added different wraps.  #FashionOver60 #HodgePodge #LifeAfterRetirement #MyFashionHaus #SIA #Styleimitatingart
Mis amigas, hello!!  Hoping to keep this Word of Mis amigas, hello!!  Hoping to keep this Word of the Year or WOTY reveal short and sweet.  Thank you for finding time in your day to spend a moment with me.  Looking at the graphic above do you have any guesses about my WOTY 2021?  Those of you who know me well are probably wondering if it could be *S*N*O*W*.  Hmmm, maybe!
