Day 2. Many of the older buildings in New York City have amazing stone work on them-usually unnoticed as it means walking looking up, which can lead to disastrous results on the crowded streets.

When we moved into our home I unpacked everything immediately and had pictures hung and bookcases filled within a day. I hate blank, bare […]

I grew up in a house just a few blocks from where I live now. My childhood home was sold over 15 years ago, and my mother moved away. It changed hands twice since then, and the last seller knocked the house down. I happened to drive by the day of the demolition, and it […]

Daily Prompt: When was the last time someone told you they were proud of you? It has been interesting to read the responses to this prompt. Many of them had real disdain for the word, the concept.

Hello again- I barely have a minute to sit for a coffee today, I promised myself I would stay away from the computer in order to accomplish the long list of things I must get done! In the few minutes I do have I would tell you we had a snow day off from school […]
I recently discovered I had lowered my expectations of someone so low that they were no longer on my radar. It was a very welcome discovery. The end result was my no longer feeling slighted, unloved, ignored. Pining for the relationship I wished we had. I am not sure if the actual acceptance of the […]
