Hello, gorgeous! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I’m loving the mild weather we’re having this week!  We planted some new plants in the back yard, this past weekend, so I’m so glad we’re not in the middle of a heat wave!  I’ll post pictures, when it’s all done.  The whole process has been…

Hello, beautiful! I’m sitting on the window seat, upstairs at our Tahoe cabin.  I’m listening to “Judy”, the movie soundtrack, sung by Renee’ Zellweger.  We saw the movie, when it was released, in the theater, years ago and I was so impressed with her acting and great singing voice!  If you haven’t seen it, I…

The inlay is called “Summer…

Are  you feeling Irish, today? I’m what I’ve heard to be Heinz 57.  According to my limited ancestry research, I’m mostly of Western European origin.  There’s a dab of Irish in me, but who needs that, to enjoy corned beef and cabbage?
