I believe in mental health days. That is when you do something just because it sounds like fun. It is even better when it turns out to be so much fun that you cannot wait to go back. Yesterday, mom and I went with a group from church to Fair Oaks Farms. Fair Oaks Farms [...]

My husband likes to look nice when wearing casual clothes but he never likes to take the time to shop. A few weekends I gently prodded him to the men’s department of JC Penney and helped him pick out a new suit. We are going to a wedding tomorrow. He found some nice navy slacks [...]

To Read or Work

Today is a bit cooler outdoors and not humid so I think I will find something to work on in the yard. The patio cushions have been cleaned and the flowers weeded. I need to trim the bushes with my electric trimmer. I hate that job. My trimmer won’t stay plugged in. I am constantly [...]
