Veronica Takes A New Quiz

This is one of those “Last Thing” quizzes fromPeople magazine….

Last thing I purchased: A Modcloth gift card for my younger daughter, who adores them and who looks fabulous in All Their Things! Last thing I purchased for myself: new lingerie on sale after Christmas yesterday O_o and eyeliner from Drew Barrymore’s Flower line. Oh, and blueberries!

Last thing I prepared in the microwave: Lean Cuisine Santa Fe Style Beans and Rice. Yum. Of course I add a lot of sour cream, which probably defeats t...

Wednesday Whimsy Disney Ornaments Hats and Shoes

We do have a more conventional Christmas tree in the living room of course, but I also keep

this “tree” full of my Disney mouse hat and character shoe theme ornaments. I started collecting them a few years during a trip to Disneyland and now each time I go back, I pick up a few more. (You can also find them on eBay.) There are usually some new ones for the new movies – this year I added twoFrozen shoes. I find these ornaments enchanting and fun – whoever designs them does a great job.

Disneyland in the Rain for Wednesday Whimsy

We had that huge, severe rainstorm here in Southern California last week and aminor ripple was my plan to go to Disneyland. (Which was nothing compared to mudslides, a tornado, etc., that many people had to deal with.) My best friend and I go annually right around this time of year and in all the time we’ve done that, it’s only rained twice. Rainy days have a magical effect on Disneyland – many fewer people! I have four layers on in the photo to the left – it was freezing in the morning! The...

Winter Fun for Wednesday Whimsy

I used to love walking the in the snow, having snowball fights, building snow forts…of course I lived in upstate New York at the time! One of my favorite sub genres of romance is the Christmas Regency. I love those big house parties where the governess and the Duke waltz and go sledding and fall in love.

And a little girl who missed all the fun – such a wistful face.



Here’s an intrepid couple who decided to go snowshoeing! And someone who voted for skating…although she seems a bit dubious at th...

Love the Rain Wednesday Whimsy

I’m totally enjoying the rain in Southern California this week! There’s nothing I like better than curling up with a good book (reread Nalini Singh’s Caressed by Ice, seem to be on a binge of working my way through the Psy-Changeling series again, start to finish…) and my two cats and just savoring the cool Fall weather, accompanied by the sound of rainfall.

We need the rain out here of course, although I feel sorry for the areas that are getting too much too fast and which may have mudflows t...

Pilgrims, Turkeys and More for Wednesday Whimsy

I’ve been saving some of my Victorian 1880’s trade cards for this week because they have the right theme. I’ve written before about being descended from Priscilla Mullins and John Alden (along with literally about 1,000,000 other people!), so I was thrilled to find the ad cards from “Alden Fruit Vinegar Company” that featured some of the family. You’ll see those further down in the post.

I like this quote from Buzz Aldrin, and wholeheartedly support his general stance that we should be returni...
