I’m proud to say I have over 400 followers!

The First of Octember

Originally posted on from the sticks to the bricks and back again:
The first of Octember is here. A cause for celebration in my world. Octember, or October as most people refer to it, is one of my favorite months. I don’t give up on summer until we are well into Octember, some years November.…

My Trip to NYC

I ❤️NY! I’ve been twice and want to go again. The second time was a gift from my daughter, Candice. We had seen the movie “Once” together and both love it. When I learned they were making a Broadway play, “Once, The Musical”we decided to go.

Our House

Our assignment is to look at our stats and see which posts were most popular and use that idea for a new post. By far my most popular post was a photo blog on my old homestead. You can see it here. I’ve posted many pictures of my gardens but I haven’t shown you the inside… Read More Our House

March 25, 2014

The traffic was particularly heavy on my drive to work that Tuesday morning and I wondered why. I got my answer when the news came on the radio.

You Might Not Believe This

You might not believe this but I had no interest in any type of creative expression until very recently. I never drew, painted, did crafts, or wrote. I have never taken formal art classes or creative writing classes. The fact that I could even do any of these talents never entered my head until I… Read More You Might Not Believe This

I’ve reached 2 of my SMART Goals!

When I wrote my goals for WordPress 201 in July I set three specific goals. I wasn’t sure how many followers I could expect but I set my sights high and put 300 by the end of 2015.
