It was COLD this weekend. Nose hair freezing cold. We really didn’t have to go anywhere. So we didn’t. It was so cold they closed the pool! Was I really going to swim this weekend? Nah, probably not. So instead, I made lemon cream scones and cleaned out the guest room. On Saturday, we woke…

I do realize we are day 44 into the new year and I am on day 24 of my Delights. In fact, the last time I posted something delightful was 10 DAYS AGO!!!! This is not to say I have not been delighted or found my daily delights. It is to say however, that I’ve…

Ah. How funny that when I typed the word Friends, I felt my body relax a bit? Ah, Friends. Friends are good. Friends are Delightful. A friends’ daughter once told her mom that she hopes she has a group of women like her mom when she is older. That was the best compliment ever. And…

It snowed today and is still snowing on the 20. I love the monochrome of winter; white snow, brown bare branches, white steamy…

Dodie was my paternal Grandmother. There was always something about Dodie- her style, her martini, her clothes, her hair…….it did not matter that she lived in small town Plano, Illinois, she lived her life dressed for the paparazzi. I still carry her pocketbooks. I open the latch and inhale the 70 year old scent of…

Eating spaghetti with a four year old is delightful. I encourage you to do this as often as possible. Spaghetti is difficult for any adult to eat with grace- a four year old just dives in with vigor and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Last night I celebrated my birthday with the nephews. They made…

The Oxford Dictionary defines Democracy as: Government by the people; that form of government in which the sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them or by officers elected by them. You may not agree that America is functioning as a Democracy, in response I ask you…
