So, I found this awesome tut through Pinterest.  It’s a rather modern art piece, simply made by any of us and quite stunning.  You can find the original here: Two Girls Being Crafty. It occurred to me while I was looking at it that it would be a little difficult for a young child to […]

It’s been a long time since I posted here. I’d like to say it’s because I was busy, or just couldn’t find the time. The truth is, I’m lazy and there hasn’t been much going on around here. Well, Steph is in college and Bill went off to the Navy last August, so I have […]

We’ve had several different kinds of dogs in our lives.  I used to breed Irish Setters and Cocker Spaniels.  When I was growing up, we had a toy poodle that I thought was the worst dog in the universe.  Everyone in town agreed with us.  But then I met the venerable Pekingese. We got Gizmo […]

I’m not talking about fall, either.  Change is everywhere and if there’s one thing I hate, it’s change.  I grew up in a house where the furniture was never re-arranged, where neighbors never moved, where nothing whatever changed for 15 years.  Now, everything’s changing.

Earlier, I talked about redecorating my son, Billy’s, room.  Well, against all the odds, I finished within a week.  Now, I know there are multiple shows that can do it in one day, etc.  But they don’t have to deal with my son’s stuff and a division of efforts between that project and the daily […]

This is my first attempt at styling a WordPress site, and I’ve done it for the love of my life, Patricia Lee Macomber. I’m sure she’s going to come in here and make this her own, but I wanted to give something back after all the years she’s been styling and designing things for me […]
