Scott and I have a Gratitude Jar. It is a fancy glass canister with a lid that his parents brought us from their travels to Czechoslovakia. It is lovely, it has heft. Light dances from the etched glass. I am sure it is for candy, or treats, but ours is for gratitude. We write blessings … Continue reading Searching for Gratitude
Costume Musings: Clue
CLUE: First. I watched the movie. It was painful.. I am a little embarrassed about that, most folks LOVE this movie. But. I am not a slapstick comedy person and this was slapstick at it's finest. The dialog DID make me laugh-out-loud though, and of course it made me reminisce about long ago family games … Continue reading Costume Musings: Clue
Costuming Musings: Honk
Last spring I was asked by my good friend to help her costume the play Honk. This was officially my first foray into being part of a costume team.

My parents scheduled a few trips, stayed at B&Bs and Country Inns, then came home to tell … Continue reading Our B&B Adventures.
Binge Watching Harry Potter
A movie trailer came across my social media feed. Interested, I clicked and watched the preview of a Harry Potter cast reunion. It had movie clips from over the years and I couldn't help but smile about how darn cute and scintillating they all were! And I couldn't help but think back to our family … Continue reading Binge Watching Harry Potter
It’s All in the Details.
How do you pronounce Hygge? Huggie? I guess it really doesn't matter, what matters is that this unique word just keeps showing up on my pinterest board and in Pottery Barn catalogs and home decorating/lifestyle blogs that I read. So... I investigated. I checked out and read "The Little Book of Hygge." I looked … Continue reading It’s All in the Details.
