This month we’re giving away two wonderful books. Perhaps you remember someone reading them to you as a child, or maybe you read them to your children. To have your name included in our Wednesday, May 26 drawing, just answer this question. Did anyone read to you or tell you stories when you were a…
Yep, I know. Dr. Seuss is getting a bad rap right now. I did a little research on my own. (Better than believing everything you’re told!) And yes, I found some objectionable political cartoons in his past, done during WWII. Also some illustrations in his books that could have been more politically correct. As a…
Each year in February, I’m afflicted with a strong case of the dreaded Garden-Longing. However, I live in a part of the country where you can’t put tender plants into the ground at least until the end of May. Even then, you’re risking a total frost kill, and I’ve had it happen. Last year I…

About two weeks ago, my husband and I received a wonderful gift from cousins . Take a look. You might not have seen anything quite like it! It’s called a violin-uke and sometime in the past–circa 1930–my husband’s great aunt and great uncle purchased it. As you can see it’s almost in perfect condition even…
