As part of “My 101 Things to do in 1001 Days” Challenge, I added the task to answer “50 questions which will free your mind.” These questions really make me stop to think. I encourage you to answer these questions. You may remember that I started answering these questions a several months ago. I am answering five questions a month. I answered the first five on June 10, 2016, and the next five questions on July 8, 2016. On August 5, 2016, I answered questions 11-15. On September 2, 2016, I answered 16-20.

I love simple tablescapes that don’t interfere with the […]
“So Come – Brush Against the Wall of My Life”
I wrote this blog post a couple of years ago, after the mass shooting in Aurora, Colo. Any death, whether I know the person or people personally, affects my life and touches my heart. In fact, I just found out that one of my former college classmates died in a hunting accident this past Saturday. There was also a tragic bus accident in Chattanooga, Tenn., just yesterday, in which six children were killed. These deaths are unfortunate and heart-breaking, especially since it’s right before Thanksgiving. In light of this news, I wanted to share this blog post again, as a […]
