Being back in Texas has brought back a rush of childhood memories. I was born in the town of Corsicana, right up the road from where I’m now staying. We lived there until I was five, then moved to the suburbs of New Orleans. Every summer we returned to the Dallas area to visit first with one set of grandparents and then the other.  Read more >

Winter is dwindling away and we'll soon be throwing our windows open to springtime. This is traditionally the time of year when we give our nests an extra-good cleaning, a ritual that might date back to cave-dwelling ancestors shedding their insect-infested winter wraps on the first warm day of spring.  Read more >

In my mailbox this morning: Body Solutions - Look better in a Bikini. I don't care how I'd look in a bikini. I won't be checking myself out in thong and bra in the changing room any time soon and I certainly wouldn't inflict such an image on the public at large. I didn't do that when I was in my twenties and won't be adding a bikini to my midlife wardrobe any time soon. What I do care about is how I look and feel and function in an everyday wardrobe and the answer is: better!  Read more >

Gearing up for springtime pest invasions

It was warm and slightly breezy when I arrived in Texas last week, with open-window, one-quilt nights. The hundreds of post oaks on my cousin's place are covered with tiny buds and her irises and daffodils are blooming already. I'd have thought I was still in Hawaii but for the absence of palm trees and plumeria. It would have been nice to have moved right into the full glory of spring, thus allowing me a full cycle of seasons before I need to face my first winter in fifteen years, but that's not to be.  Read more >

About Me: 
Fifty-something Southern US gal living in Hawaii, getting by one day at a time. My blog is mostly little slices of my daily life. The one theme that runs through it is my battle with a cluttered house and an attitude that has allowed the clutter to accumulate. All are welcome to visit, and I do indeed hope you'll drop by. I don't recommend that you take your shoes off at the door, as you might never find them again!
