Valentine’s Day is perfect for having a wonderful romantic Victorian Breakfast! What a way to start off this special day! I decided to bring out my silver….and of course it has not been polished in quite a long time. And it still isn’t!! Polished, I mean. I like the “used” look. Okay, I am just…
Wow! How is it already time for Thanksgiving…. and this is my first blog hop since my illness. Well, to be honest, I have been out of the thick of things for a year and a half, but with God’s help, I am back among the active people. However, I have to admit that I…

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? You know, the dishes are done and the kitchen all cleaned after supper and you are just minding your own business….

The Captain and I love the Red, White and Blue and we really need no excuse to celebrate, but here are a few tablescapes and vignettes we have used in the past and present. There are so many occasions to celebrate during our calendar year, including President’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Columbus…
“Old Dogs and children and watermelon wine” is an old song lyric. Tom T. Hall sang, rather he recited it and I have always loved the sentiment behind it. “There wasn’t anyone around ‘cept this old man and me The guy who ran the bar was watchin’ “ironsides” on tv Uninvited, he sat down and…
Fiesta Time! Cinco de Mayo! Ole! Can you believe that May 5 will soon be here before you know it? We have the Kentucky Derby on May 4th and then right into another entertaining day and tablescape. I love Mexican food. Yes, I am getting a head start on Cinco de Mayo. I posted…
