R.I.P Daisy
My sweet beagle died over the weekend. We got her about nine years ago from a family that had saved her from the dog pound (and certain death). She had the sweetest temperament that I’ve ever known in a dog, but she had some habits that annoyed some people (and that’s probably why she was [...]

Apologies to all of Livvy’s ardent fans. Photos and stories of my darling Tabby Point Siamese have been few and far between, haven’t they? Well, Livvy was pestering helping me on my desk the other day, and I thought, “What a great time for a photo op!” The Princess was not amused. I have really [...]

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger. You can check out my other blogs here.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
