Recently Nikaela and her family came to visit. We had SO much fun with them! We did lots of fun activities and still managed to say, “Oh, we never…” after they left. It’s just so hard sometimes to live this far away from them. They got here on a Sunday and the fun started immediately. [...]

Who ordered snow at the end of May? Sure, it’s pretty, but I’m a bit worried about my garden. Have a lovely Spring day, wherever you are! Me? I think I’ll skip Spring Fever and move on to Summer Fever. It’s got to be right around the corner!

What a Great Day!

Welcome to the New Year! Yes, I am a bit slow this year. And I had plans for many lovely posts during the holidays that just did not materialize. As I told my Journal this morning, “I was too busy living life to write about it.” Sorry excuse, but it will have to do. To [...]
