Hello, Sunday. Getting back to normalcy post-vacation is a beast sometimes, and it’s been go-going since I got back last Sunday. Lots of tennis this week, followed by a tourney this weekend, all while packing and cleaning and getting my condo ready to list and…

Hello, Monday.

Hello from Maine!

I’m out on summer vacation, working and playing up the New England coast and I was a bit delayed in sitting down to write to you this week. But now, belly full of maple bacon ice cream (more on that later), a few fun things to get us going in July.  

wishing: on stars in the clear Maine night sky. always wishing on stars.

hoping: 2022 is more back to normal

thinking: of my moving/house selling to-do list that is hovering over my head.

praying: my family and friends continue to stay safe during the pandemic.

planning: the rest of the summer- it’s going by so fast!

dreaming: of a Euro adventure this fall?

watching: Happy Endings!

eating: so far? lobster rolls and ice cream cones.

reading: The Bone Code.  so hard to read on vacation when I don’t want to put it down.

wearing: hiking shoes and bathing suits. a summer uniform.

loving: all the nature. and scenery.

missing: my Crawley, always. he’s getting good snuggles while I’m away.

Have a great week!

Hello, Monday. We’re long weekending here in the US and Canada and gosh, it’s needed. Especially here, where I’m heading east for my summer New England road trip next weekend for two weekends, so this one was filled with errands, pedicures, returns, cleaning – all…

Raspberry, Chile and Ginger Jam

Raspberry, Chile and Ginger Jam

It’s berry season, my favorite season. It’s the time of the year when I can go out to brunch and not get a gross bowl of melon melange as my side of fruit. I love berries so much and raspberries – well, they just might be my favorite. And I’m paying homage to them today with this homemade raspberry, chile and ginger jam.

Hello, Sunday! Yes, I got my act together in time to wake up with you on Sunday morning. Seems like it’s been a minute.  I spent yesterday tacking my guest room closet, which for me was akin to Monica’s closet. If you know, you know.…
