In A Blink


The first day of December has arrived, in what feels like the blink of an eye.

This year has been filled with some amazingly happy moments, and some very not so happy ones. It does not feel like there has been nearly an entire year of them, it certainly does not feel like it has been 4 months since we lost our grandmother, or 2 months since Troy went home again. It seems nearly impossible that another year has come and gone, but I think all years tend to feel that way don’t they.

Alternative Meals


Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and in some homes that means more than just the traditional items we all love. Every family has it’s members, usually the younger ones, who refuse to eat what everyone else is eating. They may eat anything and everything all year round, but soon as there is a family gathering, they only like dinner rolls, peanut butter and jelly and chicken nuggets. These were the alternative meal items available at our grandmothers house if you did not want what everyone else was having. You were also welcome to a cheese sandwich, but it was not going to be grilled.

Unexpected Guests


Today’s public service announcement is to always give plenty of notice of your intentions to visit other people who do not have children still living at home. This includes the older generations, including your parents and grandparents.

How many times have you heard the joke about ” Oh I can’t wait till our kids all leave home, then our empty nest can finally have that workshop / craft room we always wanted!” We have all heard it, but how many of us have actually seen the inside of those workshop / craft rooms, or evidence of the activities they claim to love having the privacy to work on in them ? EXACTLY !

So visit without notice at your own risk, and be ready to explain to your children why Aunt Agnes prefers to hang her clothes to dry on the cage beside the fireplace and why you should never ever lick a wooden spoon that is not yours !

Seven Hells


Oh the very thought of this much snow in November, while it is not unheard of here in the North East, is still not something we look forward to. We have no issues with snow on Christmas Eve, and it can last till New Years, but then it has to go. 10 days at the most would be fantastic, but nothing longer than that. Tho, the UK gets alot less snow than we do, so there is something else to look forward to !

Warmth Of Autumn


Leaves are falling even tho fall has been here for months it is finally feeling like it. Here in the North East US, we normally see our fall colors by the end of September and most of our leaf raking is over by the end of October. Due to such an abundance of rain over the summer, our trees were still too hydrated to change into their fall wardrobes on schedule. Now it is November, and there are still leaves yet to fall around here, so we are hoping the snow holds off until they are all down. Snow plus leaves still on trees is a nasty combination that just screams for downed power lines and extended cleanup.

The prices are also dropping for some of today’s items. The Dreamland Designs offerings are available this weekend for Slept On Sales and Soul2Soul has the Colours of Autumn decor out for Happy Weekend. Both sales are available at their respective main stores !
