Wish List
I just learned a new word that I have never heard before. Apparently this term has been around for almost ten years. I’ve used the format on this blog and didn’t know it. I asked my very knowledgeable husband if it was a REAL word that could be found in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. He said…
Just Make the Damn Wreath!
For the past two years I have acquired an interest in crafting and being more creative. Gasp! My interest in crafting started two years ago when my stepmother taught me how to make mesh wreaths. She is an avid crafter and usually can talk me into jumping on the craft bandwagon. In this particular venture…
Shut the Front Door!
The end is near! The end of 2015 that is and I’m stressing a little over that. In January I wrote a blog post entitled “Word Search”. I was very excited to find my “word for the year” and explore it fully over the course of 2015. I chose the word “open” because I thought…

My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary last week. We met on Match.com. We are a Match.com success story! We should be in one of their commercials. I know at least four other married couples who met on Match.com. For “older” people who don’t want to meet someone at a bar or at…

Well, who are you? Who, Who, Who, Who?

Bloom Where You’re Planted
I spent Mother’s Day this year doing something I really hate! Gardening! I have many friends and family who love to garden. I don’t! Some think gardening is a spiritual experience. I don’t! But after a recent trip to England where the flowers are abundant and the gardens are spectacular I decided that I needed…
Writer’s Block
It’s confession time – “Forgive me for I have not written a blog post in awhile”. I have been suffering from writer’s block. For a time this Pollyanna was on a roll. I had loads of great ideas and even made a list of topics to write about. All these super-fantastic ideas would keep me…
Word Search
Better than a thousand words is one word that brings peace. …
