Happy Monday! We just had a glorious three days in a row of 100% sunshine. I knew it had been a long time since that had happened, but even I was shocked when the meteorologist confirmed this morning that the last time was May 2014. Wow. If you aren’t familiar with where I live (West …

Happy Monday! I hope you have a good weekend. I spent quite a bit of time working on my basement cleanout project and made some great progress. This morning I recorded another coronavirus update and put it in the forum. This is the one for today (February 17) and here is the previous one I …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. We had a lovely, snowy weekend. We’ve had very few days of pretty snowfall all day this winter. Yesterday was one of them and we thoroughly enjoyed it. So it’s time to jump into the week with all its possibilities and make a list of small …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a pleasant weekend. Ours was quiet. Caroline came down with something midweek and was still trying to work through it this weekend. We finally had some sunshine! During the first 32 days of 2020, we had 21 days of zero sunshine. Zero. As in none. For almost three weeks …

Happy Monday! We had a low-key weekend in our home, something all three of us needed. On Saturday, David and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary and 14th anniversary of discovering we were expecting a baby. We are thankful for our blessings. We also had some unexpected news that is going to impact our family …

We just got our first real dumping of snow!” But then I remembered I’ve seen pictures of pansies on blogs written in …

Happy Monday! It’s a cloudy and snowy morning here in Cute Little Town. The cardinals, juncos, and downy woodpeckers are happily at the birdfeeders. I’m in my fluffy red robe and cardinal pajamas so we’re all cozy here. I know some people don’t like Mondays, but I do. I always feel like the week is …

Happy Back-to-the-Routine Monday! I imagine this is the first week of regular living for most of us after the weeks of holiday upheaval. We took our Christmas decorations down on Saturday afternoon and evening so we could wake up on Sunday with that task already behind us. I was very thankful we did. I spent …

Happy last Monday of the decade! With Christmas and New Year’s Day falling on Wednesdays this year, the holiday weeks seem very long and less well-defined. It’s interesting how the way Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day fall on the calendar can make such a difference in how we perceive the holidays. I mentioned to …

Happy Christmas Week! I hope you are healthy and enjoying this special time of year with people you love. If you aren’t, I am truly sorry to hear it. We’ve had more than a few difficult Christmases over the years for a variety of reasons and it always brings with it a lot of emotions. …
