Loving Geraniums

A cottage is the perfect way to slow down the aging process!

How To Be Happy

Pretty much to remind myself of the fact that just because we (as parents) have new responsibilities, we do have a right to be happy too. Sometimes I forget and then there's the thing about worrying just for the sake of worrying. The minute I became...

Alarm Clocks

I don't think that there is a person on the planet who loves what an alarm clock has been constructed to do, but the funniest one I ever heard of was one that if you didn't shut it off the first time, it would roll off the table (it had wheels) and y...

It's Picnic Time

Vintage Salt and Pepper Shakers

Muffins Even I Can Bake

Rice Pudding

Potatoes... Not Just for French Fries
