The imayo has a lot of […]

I’m back from a whirlwind visit to the Windy (breezy) City of Chicago. We did so much walking that I have blisters on the bottoms of my feet. Thank goodness for bandaids! Once we adjusted to the bigness of everything, we enjoyed the restaurants and the many things to do there, of which we only […]

On my way to the Windy City
Apparently, this is Chicago. I feel like a cavewoman taking a time machine into the future. I’m going to develop a crick in my neck from looking up. I’ll be away for a long weekend enjoying some book award hoopla, tasty cuisine, and long river strolls with the hubby. I’m leaving my laptop behind, but […]

May Book Reviews (Part 1) and a Blog Break
Spring came and went in about 5 days. The garden is demanding immediate attention as are a bunch of other chores that I’ve been delaying until the sun returned. I have my dad’s storage unit to empty and sort, and a deck to scrap and paint. And I suppose it’s time to move the spiders […]
