It's Nutcracker season! Our production is coming up soon!

Here is a throwback to Gelsey and Misha dancing together.

I was lucky enough in my career to work with them both.

I needed a "homey" meal today. My great grandmother's Amish pot-pie recipe. This is more like dumplings.

I wanted something more permanent on my tabletop than a vase of flowers.

Let's see if I can keep it alive.

I cut these from my mom's hydrangea bush yesterday. They smell wonderful.

Some pansies for the fall. This pot held a plant that was at Jim's mom's funeral. Then a plant at his funeral. Now it brings life to my balcony.

He loves to climb on this pillow and sleep. He's the light of my life.

An interesting photo of my living room this morning. I love the way the light in the corner illuminated it.

I spruced up a lamp that I've had for about 10 years. It felt good to give it a new life.

I made it to 60. It's emotional after all I have been through the past few years.

Don't give up. Keep going.

The resin pendant I made today in the class a group of us attended today. I love artistic adventures.
