We had family out to celebrate birthdays at what I lovingly referred to as the ‘Meat Party’ … We served beef ribs, homegrown chicken and rabbit … Doh! (Along with many, many sides…) I decorated with zinnias from my garden. Speaking of which, that garden is still producing! I’m pretty sure I will end with …
I know – it’s been a bit. But I am alive and kicking, and enjoying summer pool time, along with Chloe … So, to hit some highlights over the last few months: Our oldest son graduated from law school, and is presently in VA for tax law. Our youngest (the twins) turned 25, and we …
But first – here are some of the bulbs I made in the glass blowing class with my sister. We had a great time, and now we’re looking at other classes to take. It is THAT time of year, so tax prep is well underway. I’m hoping we can pull them together within the next …

AND I am! I’ve started the long-list project of turning my old studio into a ceramic studio, clearing out a large (which now will be 8 foot long x 7 foot tall x 2.5 foot deep – THIS is the BEFORE photo) area in our ‘storage’ basement for hydroponic growing; reorganizing the mini-closet/tanning bed space …
Lots to share! (Yep, the picture post I talked about…) I’m so excited. Our garden is producing: Oh Summer, I love you!!! We have Cornish chickens (meat chickens) … So, hear me out. I researched and grew into this phase, FOR A WHILE – on my OWN. One …
Yep, I sure did. I’m not sure how much mileage I can garnish from 31 years of marriage … BUT, I AM GOING FOR IT!!! (Our anniversary is coming up … 8/11/90! Thirty-one years of wedded bliss! OMGosh!!!) A few weeks ago (the Twin’s birthday), BabyGirl asked about doing ceramics – making a mug, or …
