Up until a few months ago, Devin had the smallest of our three bedrooms. Even though we were only officially occupying two of them. The third, as big as our master bedroom, housed my office. I never thought the office deserved such a big space, but eight years ago the […]

It’s a hat actually, but “me and my hat” didn’t sound as nice for a title. It’s winter. Cold, snowy. I love my hat for such occasions. I took my dog for a walk tonight. The flakes were drifting down and it was so quiet and peaceful. Those are the […]

At least that’s what it feels like this morning. All I wanted to do was set up a new blog.  But I started that process last night at 9:00, which was not a wise idea. I’ve transferred domain hosts, lost my email address, retrieved my email address, lost my husband’s […]
