A castle room renovation included an up-cycled door insert as a mercury glass mirror.
Don’t buy that stuff ! You can make you own at home and it’s super easy.
When your cousin marries a fabulous guy, you make her anything she needs for the Big Day! That includes 100 jars of tasty, low sugar blueberry jam with berries straight from the farm.
Get out there, it’s lovely out. (well, it was today)
Check the Local Haunts for some places to visit. Why did the chicken cross the road? Beacuse it’s a railroad CROSSING! And besides, it’s Ybor City…urban poultry.
I spend an inordinate amount of time in my favorite space, creating and changing recipes to fit a more healthy – and completely doable – lifestyle.
“to dance artlessly, without particular grace or skill but usually with enjoyment” – That pretty much sums up what goes on in my head most of the time. Here’s a collection of miscellaneous fun favorites.
Get out there! Check out my adventures near and far.
It’s so hot out – I can’t wait for Fall. – I think I’ll just go there in my mind a while – I love Fall, cool weather, fire-pit nights, pumpkins everywhere (and you know I love pumpkin), and food laced with maple syrup… Besides loving all things pumpkin, I love, nearly, all things maple. Western […] Read more…
It is soooo hot ! Another weekend is on it’s way. What do you do when it’s 95 outside? Get into some 71 degree crystal clear water…oh, yeah! We here in Hernando County are fortunate to have the perfect spot to cool off – the Weeki Wachee river. It’s not just for mermaids – Stop […] Read more…
I love veggie lasagna ! There I said it – and I really do. It’s such a tasty way to get everybody into veggies, and no moaning about being served health food. I actually have 2 versions of a healthy lasagna but the other one has meat and tofu, so this one’s for the veggie […] Read more…
It seemed as if it took all summer, but it really didn’t. We joked with the crew that we only needed them for a couple of days. “Just some drywall work – 2 days tops!” Right! As it turned out, they had other jobs they could fit in when we didn’t need them and then […] Read more…
Well, I’m back after a nice holiday weekend – hope you enjoyed yours as much. Over the weekend I had some other visitors stop over and I found myself giving the 50cent tour of the kitchen again…I’d better finish these posts so I can just tell people “Read about it on the blog!” LOL Now, […] Read more…
This is a quick one…(lie!)…now that the walls are up, now we need the floors done. I know you’ve seen the other photos where the original builder had installed the kitchen and THEN called the linoleum people to come in. Yeah, well that also meant that since the floor didn’t go under anything, then all […] Read more…
Now that we’d decided on the cabinets, we need to get them here. That actually entailed a couple of trips to IKEA (twist my arm) and having them come and do a measurement. I went ahead and paid for that service, because if we bought the cabinets, the fee came off the bill. OK, I’m […] Read more…
Some years ago I discovered that I was a ‘remodelista‘,…not that I was an original, but certainly this was long before there was the Net and even HGTV. I think it really started when I was in JR High. I came to realize that I was actually allowed and capable of changing my surroundings. I hated […] Read more…
Yesterday, I posted that I’d taken a tasty treat as an offering to the Mermaids, as they once again were kind enough to include me in their trek to the River. Their little park, that they share with a few other ‘members’, is just a slice of heaven! Normally, I’d bring a salad of some […] Read more…
The Summer Solstice means that the retired Mermaids are called to The River once again for a semi-annual meeting…and drinking and eating, to enjoy the longest day of the year. Since I was invited, I thought I’d post some pics. Why would they call it Gum Slough Day ?? Well, that’s a funny story – […] Read more…
