Thanksgiving is almost here – how did that happen?  Each autumn we come to Vegas, and each year even though we extend our stay a little bit longer, it never feels like enough time.  I had so many home improvement projects that I wanted to tackle.  Far too ambitious those goals were, but I did … Continue reading →

Before I met the hubbie, he painted all, and I mean ALL the walls of the Vegas house tan.  A pretty dark tan.   Some might call it dreary.  And then for the family room, he got a sofa and love seat to match, and they are also tan… so much tan.  Tan sofa against a … Continue reading →

Things are definitely cooling down here in Vegas.  Nearly hairless Pupusa has got a sweater on for most of our days… Our thickly coated black cocker Mabu always runs hot so he’s comfortable now… and Lucy the yellow lab gets a cozy blanket every night to keep her delicate joints warm… It’s so funny looking … Continue reading →

Hello, my friends!  My mother came to stay with me for about a month, and since it was a rare opportunity to spend quality time with her, I decided to put some of my other commitments to the side for a bit while she was in town.  Hence, the relative quiet here on the blog.  … Continue reading →

I hesitate to make this confession to you, my artsy cardmaking enthusiast followers.  But I am often tardy with the cards that must be mailed.  I know!  It’s unacceptable!  I have no excuse lol!  But… as the old adage goes, “Better late than never.”  Even though it’s late, I think my aunt will like the … Continue reading →
