Dream House – Writing Prompt!!
I was just over to visit Lorna at Gin & Lemonade. After reading her post on accessible house-hunting and her writing prompt "dream house" I decided to tackle it.

Valentine’s Day – make it your day
Valentine's Day can be hard. We have so many expectations. Social media and the rest of the planet doesn't help with advertising roses, cards and taking your sweet heart out to dinner.

A year of challenges – spending less
I decided to shake things up a bit in 2019. Not make year-long resolutions but break the year down into goals or challenges. Last month was self-care. Just slow down.

What do you know about the Harvard Classics?
Last year a friend had the hard job of moving her mom to a long-term care facility and her father to a small apartment. Two homes to scale down a life-time of items. Her mom kept newspaper clippers of anything she thought her children would be interested in. So it was a walk down memory … Continue reading What do you know about the Harvard Classics?
A year of challenges – this month self-care
I’ve been thinking about posts for 2019. I’m seeing challenges on various blogs from no shopping, more reading and less eating variety. I’m not someone who likes to set a total ban on my activities.
