I’ve been a baseball fan longer than I can remember. My first girlhood crush was on a baseball player (Carlton Fisk then of the Boston Red Sox). I followed every season from about 1974 on religiously. I collected baseball cards. I’ve watched a LOT of baseball over the years between MLB games and youth baseball... Continue Reading →
Hair hair, beautiful hair!
Have you seen this year's version of the Lexus holiday commercials? Where the adult receiving the shiny new car with the enormous bow on top flashes back to a Christmas past when they received some other awesome gift? Well those inspired me to think about gifts I received as a child that stick out in... Continue Reading →

Indoor decor
Heh - I rhymed! I'm so pooped. Sore sore sore. Yesterday in the yard kicked my butt. I filled up all three yard waste bins to the brim with trimmings and weeds and I was not done. The front hill still needs to be edged to uncover the red brick wall that does truly exist... Continue Reading →
Let the decorating begin
Or, as you can tell from the change in the header image here - let it continue! Major changes in the decorations this year. The tree has to move to a new spot thanks to the piano. Which means that the mantel is now a more stand alone project rather than being a compliment to... Continue Reading →
