Life seems to be slowing down to a more normal pace. I even got to take the time to make sure that Dusty was properly outfitted for Halloween. For the past two months he has changed his costume wish on me about once a week, but he finally settled on VAMPIRE. Not that he really…

It’s been really hard to write lately because I’ve been so busy that I feel as though I’ve lost my short term memory. I’ve caught myself trying to make my coffee with a plate instead of a coffee filter. When I mean to turn the faucet on I turn the toothbrush. I wish I was…

Well, the time has arrived to reveal the room behind the madness. It is located next to my 4 year old son, Dusty’s room. It is very small. And thanks to some great shelving built by my favorite (and only) husband, Tony, it holds a whole lot of stuff. Probably too much stuff, but just…

Well, I was totally tickled yesterday to discover A photo of Genie Francis, who played Laura on General Hospital wearing one of my hats. It is on the web site of A CHERISHED HOME. This is a wonderful store in Belfast, Maine. It is owned by Genie Francis. The hat she is wearing is called…
