I Have an Addiction
And here it is below. And I’ve ordered more today. Don’t send help. So, gentle reader, what’s an addiction of yours? Also, what are your favorite types of flowers to have in your garden?

Towels
I have the best new husband ever. Since he’s mostly retired and I still work full-time, he does most of the every day housework that needs to be done around here. While I mostly fix dinner on the daily (now with help from Martha Stewart’s food delivery service, Marley Spoon), he does the dishes, the laundry, making the bed, weekly…

Going to NYC
We are back from our epic adventure in NYC. We walked almost 90,000 steps and saw almost everything that we wanted to see during our seven days there. Below are some of the highlights.

I hope you’ll browse and decide to buy something. I struggled a bit with commodifying what I’m doing, however, more than a few people have asked to buy things…

So I did a thing
I’ve been encouraged by a few people to start selling my art online. I’ve been reluctant because I don’t want the pressure of creating to sell. Painting has been a way for me to relax during the craziness that all began in March 2020. It’s been very meditative for me, so the thought of commodifying that felt like pressure to…

ten things
We are getting ready for the holidays in our own little way being two people who lived several decades married to other people. We will visit my parents for Thanksgiving and the new husband will finally get to meet my sister and her family. I’m bringing my oft requested sweet potato soufflé along with my artichoke jalapeno dip and a…

Enhancement
Today is our one year wedding anniversary. It’s interesting being in a second marriage in the later half of our lives. I think that neither of us are delusional about being “in” love and it being the cure-all for life. Loving someone is hard work. Being “in” love and the fluttery feelings of a new relationship is the easy part.…

Every day holds something new
I’m so sorry. I love my blog and I always mean to attend to it more regularly and then life happens. 1. A lot has happened since my last post back in May. I’m still creating, albeit not as much as I would like because my workplace has reopened and so, I’m having to go into the office on a…
