Teacup Tuesday: Texas Ware
photo from the Internet Just to clarify: I do not own any of these dishes. I have no desire to own these dishes. I have eaten many, many meals off of this pattern of dishes. My parents married October 9, 1954 after a brief whirl-wind courtship. They met in July and married in October and, … Continue reading Teacup Tuesday: Texas Ware
What Have You Been Doing?
Two friends and I met for lunch this morning to enjoy some time together and catch up on life events. As best as we can remember, we last saw each other in May or maybe even April. We had a lot to talk about over lunch and lingered well after Frappuccino's were finished. During our … Continue reading What Have You Been Doing?
Fall Officially Arrives, But Where Is it?
Welcome to Fall 2022! It is still very hot where I live, but already the daylight hours are significantly shorter and the angle of the sun has changed. Soon pumpkins will appear on my porch and the chrysanthemums will bud. The long, hot, dry summer is over and we welcome autumn! And yes, four of … Continue reading Fall Officially Arrives, But Where Is it?
Farewell to Her Majesty
Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II. I felt so sorry for her children and grandchildren as they bid their Mummy and Grannie, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, farewell. The past ten days of mourning and the funeral have been stressful for them, and I admire their dignity and composure as they honored her today. The … Continue reading Farewell to Her Majesty

But when I saw what it was then I was really startled - what on earth is this? Shaped like … Continue reading What is this?
Tuesday Tablescape: DT Lemons
I'm not sure what drew me to these lemons from the Dollar Tree (DT) in the first place. I had seen others using them for table scaping in a social media group that inspires me. The bright lemons did make a pretty table, but I had no plans to incorporate them into my summer table … Continue reading Tuesday Tablescape: DT Lemons
Teacup Tuesday: Countess
how 12 place settings and serving pieces look on a table! Last January I posted about How to waste a Friday afternoon researching my thrift store find of a gorgeous 12-place setting of Homer Laughlin Eggshell Georgian china in the Countess pattern. I honestly thought I had done another post about this set of china, but … Continue reading Teacup Tuesday: Countess
Little Free Library: Oh, the places you’ll go
While looking for a short cut through a neighborhood, I almost ran directly head-on into this Little Free Library. It was on a small island surrounded by a somewhat cul-de-sac and a sharp right turn. Coming down the street I saw it immediately and pulled over to take a look! Red, white, and cute all … Continue reading Little Free Library: Oh, the places you’ll go
Tracking the Tropics
In our digital world I honestly thought paper hurricane tracking maps were a thing of the past. When I found this one in my grocery bag yesterday, I was quite surprised and had a quick memory rush. Hurricanes are intertwined through the years of my life and have always fascinated me. Watching them form and … Continue reading Tracking the Tropics
