My favorite is the red and white tablesetting, just beautiful.

Very nice!

I will report back with photo of results!

You are making great progress with this Rosa. I got rid of one of my rolling pins because it developed a large crack. Still have one left, and...

That sounds like you decluttered perfectly! I am putting up my artificial tree now and it looks horrible. The lights don't work and the branches...

So far the fruitcake project is expensive!! I ordered two antique tins and I have a third non antique that will work. But the tins are too small...

I'd hang it and see if it fits into your new life. If not, sell it.

I have felt a lot of discontent, sadness, and foreboding since djt was elected in 2016.

I would definitely keep that car; it should run to 250000 miles. But I can see why your husband would want a newer bells and whistles car. I...

Your post about Salem made me remember a trip to Salem about forty years ago when we went to the Salem Witch Museum. I am thinking my granddaughters...

Maybe fil is trying to harsh your Christmas buzz.

I like to buy paintings from Denmark but now too nervous to do so.

Yeah, that does sound electrical!

Is anyone on the other side trying to get your attention? The first year and a half after Dad died, the lights would flicker on and off. A lot.

That sounds delicious and stress free.

Thats what we are having tonight, happystuff, made the soup yesterday and will have it simmering all day. My daughter in law made the turkey and I...

Our dishwasher died and the new one was labeled a Black Friday sale. It was a good price, for sure.

We are as well!

Good point!

These are great articles. This jumped out at me: "About 1.7% of humans are intersex, an umbrella term for any variation within a person’s sex...

Naw, I don't think so, from the things I have read over the years and interviews with survivors.

Lasagna with homegrown basil and portobello mushrooms. But more excitingly just bought three cookbooks, hooray!
