In all of the horror that we witnessed on September 11, 2001, the amazing thing we also saw was the incredible generosity, bravery, selflessness, and compassion of people from all over the country, who came together to help one another, the survivors, the victims’ families, and their communities. It was a shining ray of hope […]

Sharing a picture today that I took when on a rescue transport and I just saved it, not sure what I’d do with it. But, it’s a beautiful weekend and today is the perfect day for it! The Hubs and I will be out early this morning, participating in the Walk To Defeat ALS in honor of his former […]
Honestly, peeps, this is exactly what I need today. It’s been a long week. Nothing awful – mostly your run of the mill aggravations and, of course, missing The Girl Child, who won’t be home from Nebraska until Sunday…I’m on Brain Overload and a long, empty trail would be just what the doctor ordered… Sometimes, […]
Since it’s Easter weekend, I thought I’d share a quirky little thing I found when prowling around one of my favorite neighborhoods in St. Louis. You have to understand, there’s a lot of religion in The ‘Lou, particularly Catholic. It seems like there’s a huge, gorgeous church on every other corner. People have devotionals and […]
During a recent day trip down to historic St. Genevieve, The Hubs and I came across a beautiful old cemetery with graves dating back to the Civil War. This monument was a centerpiece. This cross is an unusual mixture of materials. (After the jump, check out the detail pic!) This shot just begged for a […]
Hi, guys! I wanted to share this story I ran across last night, while joining up on some blog hops. I stopped by Sarah’s terrific blog, A Catlike Curiosity, to join her hop, but I got totally sidetracked by the wicked cool photo and the story of the little woman in it. (She has another […]
So, today, I am another year older, which really doesn’t bother me much. If you ask me, I’ll tell you flat-out how old I am (45) and we can marvel together that I’ve lasted this long. Take that, March of Time! LOL Today, I will probably be incredibly self-indulgent (as opposed to any other day, […]
You have heard, I’m sure, the old adage “The cobbler’s children go barefoot,” right? Well, unless you are talking about cherry cobbler (and why would we be talking about cherry cobbler?), the same can sometimes be said of rehabbers and decorators!While I love making things pretty for others, my own bedroom has been a room […]
I didn’t intend to do a full makeover. Really, I just meant to throw a new coat of paint on the walls… First of all, your sanctuary should be inviting! You should want to spend time there, rest there, read there, snuggle with the spouse there, bounce on the bed with the kids there! Mine […]
First of all, let me introduce you to Nano, my wonderful Scottish mother-in-law. She is the youngest 81-year-old you would ever want to meet! Unlike many of her contemporaries, Nano LOVES to change things up. That’s her, trying out an iPod. LOL And when Nano wants to change things up, you’re likely to arrive for […]
