Updated post: I have been thinking about doing a “day in my life” post for awhile and decided that Monday, January 18, 2016 would be my day. I would write down everything I did and then write a blog post about it. That got me thinking about the handful of times I’ve done this in…
Dee’s Week in Review
Yikes! I’m really late getting this post out. David and I decided that today would be the day to put away the Christmas tree and decorations. Each year I say I’m going to sort through all the boxes, throw out things we no longer use or lights which no longer work but by the time…
Learning to Love My Home
“Houses are like people – some you like and some you don’t like – and once in a while there is one you love.” ~L.M. Montgomery Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with houses. I liked to draw house plans, read decorating magazines, and tour other people’s homes. My favorite…
Did you know?
Did you know that I’m a Grateful Dead fan? I’m also very much in need of some time near water. Ocean, river, lake… Heck, I’d settle for a hot tub. There is just something about being near water which soothes my soul.

A New Year of Hope and Promise
I love the idea of a brand new year stretching out before me, full of hope and promise. Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. Today is my dad’s birthday so we invited my parents over last night to eat dinner with us. In recent years I’ve cooked a New Year’s Day meal with a couple…
Setting Goals for 2016
I’m still working on fine-tuning my goals for 2016 but I’m getting close. I thought I might give you a peek into how I am doing this. First of all, I’m asking myself the two questions I mentioned in yesterday’s post: 1. What do I want to celebrate from this year? 2. What do…
Two Questions to Ask Yourself
Tomorrow night we will bid 2015 adieu and welcome 2016 with a glass of champagne or two. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the coming year and what I want to accomplish. A couple of weeks ago as I was in the process of creating the 4-page Christmas newsletter I send in our…
