I don't know how or why I had never before tasted a Persimmon (nor seen one for that matter!) It could now be one of my faves! Do you love Chevre Cheese like I do? Do you love Pomegranate Seeds? Chopped nuts like Pistachio, almond and walnut? This just may be the quick and easy appetizer or nibbl...

I have been a huge believer for decades now about the importance of random acts of kindness, paying it forward, just being a good steward within my community. For the most part, the fun is in being anonymous!! I still enjoy the above but I also decided there was strength in numbers and discovere...

Well this was the year to throw out the old lights and start fresh! Decisions, decisions - WOW - there are soooooo many to choose from. We knew we wanted energy efficient but didn't realize what a selection there would be. I found this amazing tree for our sun room that was done in silver with bl...

I love my personal, get-it-done taglines to begin each new year. Half the fun is in creating them, discarding them and coming up with new ones! Do you continue along the same path or do you anticipate making slight directional changes? Is what you're doing working so well that you have the luxur...
