I found a website that I absolutely love. For a long time, I have avoided going to open houses and show home tours. I have issues when I visit those types of events. I have big house envy. I know I do and I am not proud. I want to be satisfied with what I [...]
Did you know that the tradition of a placing a decorated tree in the White House began in 1889 on Christmas morning during the Presidency of Benjamin Harrison? Benjamin Harrison was from Indiana. Last February, my sister Grace and I stayed at a B & B not too far from his home in Indianapolis. It [...]
When you decide to visit a touristy place it is best to have a plan. When our family gets together, we have so many chiefs! Everyone has their own idea of what to see and where to go. Personally, I like to use the USA Hotel Guide and make a plan. I am right brained. [...]
Do you do your part to keep the earth free of pesticides and other things that will hurt it? I try but I don’t know all of the ways I can do more. You can test your GreenIQ and see how you measure up. It was easy to put information into the quiz and come [...]

When I think of people that lived their lives to the fullest, I think of Evel Knievel. He got a high from taking risks. I remember watching television to see if he could jump his motorcycle over a group of buses that were parked end to end. He made it! I don’t know how he [...]
Sunday, while driving to take dishes back to their owners, I spotted a cat. He was sitting on the curb and looking straight up! Noting his stare, I glanced up to see a squirrel running along the telephone wire. He would have been that cat’s dinner if he had fallen at that moment. Cats are [...]
When we got home from vacation, there was a lovely package awaiting me! I had to open it right away because it said Vat19 on the return address. They are the company that has the most unusual and fun items! I could hardly wait to see what I received. They did not fail to amuse [...]
Our bed and breakfast hosts in Elizabeth City feel like friends to us. Our stay with them this past weekend was the second time we used their facility. It was sheer luck that our daughter, Stacy, chose their bed and breakfast inn. She tried another B & B but they didn’t return her phone call! [...]
