On my most recent trip to the cabin, a tailgate picnic was on our agenda. The weather was spectacular and the Blue Ridge Parkway beckoned us to sit for a while. We came prepared and I thought I would share just how easy and fun it was. Supplies It’s pretty obvious that you can’t haveContinue reading “A MOUNTAIN TAILGATE PICNIC”

MOVING ON
Moving on has been the focus of our past week. Our youngest daughter moved into a new condo last week. While she did all the packing and unpacking, “Two Men and a Truck“ (three in her case) did the heavy lifting. Robby and I sat back and let our youngest take the reins and workContinue reading “MOVING ON”
LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR
While trying to decide on a “Friday post”, my mind was captured by the thought of loving your neighbor. As I’ve mentioned previously, I have a lovely new neighbor right next door that get’s me! My husband would tell you “that’s a hard thing to do!” LOL! Yet, just a stones through away is someoneContinue reading “LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR”
DIY MASTER CLOSET REDO
Well, I have been waiting quite a while to do this DIY master closet redo post. At long last it is “finished” enough to reveal.

CORDS AND OTHER THINGS WE HIDE
I have a lovely new neighbor who has been so excited to show me all the updates she has done in her home. One of the things that she does well is placement.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FAIRNESS
A simple argument between my grandchildren in our pool caused me to ponder the truth about fairness. As you can guess, it sounded something like this, “you’re not being fair” (response) “you’re just not getting your way!” And then there was stomping and tears with a “time-out” following. Kind of sounds a lot like ourContinue reading “THE TRUTH ABOUT FAIRNESS”

AN UNEXPECTED GUEST
Have you ever had an unexpected guest? I certainly did on my last visit to my cabin in the woods. A visitor came for breakfast and it’s not what you think!!!

THE ART OF CONVERSATION
This week I found myself pondering the question “Have we lost the art of conversation?” You see I was faced with a minor HOA conflict that could have been easily resolved with a simple phone call. Instead, I received the dreaded “violation” notice. No questions, no chance to respond, no neighbors being neighbors, just aContinue reading “THE ART OF CONVERSATION”
