Today I have a few special purchases to share with you. I enjoy shopping at junk stores and thrift stores but I get the best finds at rummage sales. I’d forgotten just how good this particular sale is. I went knowing that I needed a couple of things but found some extras as well! My…
The weather in October gets a bit cooler and many turn their thoughts to Halloween decorating. Darker decor and spider webs are everywhere! Cooler weather always has me thinking about cleaning and reorganizing. I’d really like to clean up my front walkway and brighten up the entrance. Unless I’d like that creepy Halloween vibe!…
I’ve had more days where I’ve forgotten to wear my pedometer these two months. But I’m still trying to keep track of my steps every day. For August I managed to wear my pedometer for a full 22 days. I continued to exercise regularly in August and my average number of steps per day was…
I used my pedometer every day the first couple of weeks in July. Every night I wrote down my steps for the day. For July 1st through July 14th my average number of steps per day is 8,465! Of course I think I was unusually active for these two weeks. I also still think my…

Knitting in public does attract attention. It can be a great conversation starter. Many of you knit in private, and that’s OK but it’s time to get…
We are now FOUR months into the New Year of 2012! Hard to believe. Do you even remember if you made New Years Resolutions? Mine are hard to forget because I blogged about them! “New Years Resolutions or Changing our Habits” My January update, “New Years Resolutions January Update” was brief and focused on what…
Many years ago I knew a lady that had an expensive leather purse that matched each of her many pairs of shoes. She never left the house with a black purse and brown shoes. In fact if she was wearing brown shoes with tassels she had a brown purse with tassels to match! Are you…
I love it when an author I enjoy reading comes out with a new series! Ann Purser is the author of what I call the Day Series. It begins with “Murder on Monday” and continues through the days of the week. They are written in the Mystery Cozy Genre. The books are set in modern…
