I am so excited about our new family room furniture. We moved into this house nearly 16 years ago and bought a matching sofa and love seat, chair and ottoman, coffee table, end table and entertainment center for this room. It was our first house with two living areas and we put our former living…

Geraniums and Pumpkins ~ On the Cusp of Change
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of Autumn, that perfect balance of light and dark. I’m truly a summer girl but Autumn certainly has its charms. Our temperatures are cooling but still nice and warm during the day. This coming week we should see highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s…
French Friday ~ Take a Walk
I’ve been so pleased with the increased participation on the French Chic Yahoo Group. I wish I had taken steps to jump-start things long ago. It seems many were quietly waiting in the wings, eager for a return to our more active days. I learned something from this: Don’t wait for someone else to do…

Amish Auction
Today was the annual Amish auction in Clarita. Lisa and I went with our friend, Mary, as we had done last year. The weather couldn’t have been better – low 70s with a cool breeze. AND we remembered sunscreen this time. We wandered through a large covered area of vendors and then opted to eat…
