Walking in Abundance...March Favorites Hello, Friends! I am sitting in my favorite chair where I often watch the sunrise out the window in front of me and get a close up look at birds on the lawn out the window beside me. Huge puddles of water are everywhere and still rain comes down. Our sump pump is running practically nonstop and I'm praying it doesn't stop and flood the basement again. We still don't have everything back in place from the last battle with water we lost down … [Read more...]

Friday Fashion Fun….No More Drive-By Shopping
I have always loved clothes and preferred to have lots of them. My mom used to make almost everything my sisters and I wore, and I often wonder how she did it.
