My all time favorite DIY project was building my own desktop computer! In fact I’m using it to write this blog! I’ve been involved […]

Nothing too deep this week; I’ve spent most of my time enjoying our glorious fall days. Fall is my favorite time in New England. A big part of the fall tradition is the pumpkin displays at our local church. Enjoy! What are your favorite fall activities?

It was time for another road trip this weekend. And where else would we go but to our favorite Dairy Queen to get a Blizzard treat. This time we brought the “guys” with us, Sir Oliver and Sir Angus. As you can see they enjoyed the Blizzard too. We got our favorite, cappuccino heath bar […]

These days, it is the little things that make my day. For one, it is fresh corn from our local farmstand. It can’t get much fresher than this; they pick it every morning and bring it to the farm stand. Not to be forgotten, but we even have little corn ears for Sir Oliver and […]
