As you know, I’m on vacation this week. I’m “down the shore“. We have had bright, sunny skies all week. However, the wind has made for some pretty chilly temperatures. But, it’s been warming up and the rest of the week is shaping up to be in the 70′s. I’ve had time to catch up [...]

Vacation “down the shore”
I am “down the shore”! Wait, what? What does that mean, you ask? I had never heard that term before I moved to Lancaster County almost 30 years ago. (30 years?!?!) When someone says to you: “I’m goin’ down the shore” it means “I’m going to the beach”. It seems that this expression is commonly [...]

My DIY Kitchen Makeover (Part 3)
My kitchen is going to be primarily black and white so I’m thinking it needs a few pops of color. That’s a pop all right! Don’t panic; that vibrant, beautiful apple green color is just for the pantry door. And the fabric? I am going to attempt to make Roman Shades. Since the last Kitchen [...]
