The change of seasons can be hard on many of us. Even if you are right now transitioning to your favourite season like I am – fall! I just find the air crisper, the sky bluer and the lack of hot temperatures and pesty bugs gives me energy and desire…

Transformation!
Do you like my new coat? Actually it is an old coat, I’ve had it for eight years and I bought it at a thrift shop so who knows how old it really is. During some of the wet and dreary days of April here I had a hankering for…
Home Sweet Home
Good weather really is great isn’t it? I look happy for two reasons. One, it was a beautiful day, and was so happy to have one more great day on the ocean. But secondly, I was all packed to go home. I am a homebody and I was missing the…
“You Will Be His Whole World”
Meet my emotional support dog. My little Yorkie, Casey, makes a bad day better. He is like medication, therapy, and a good friend all wrapped into one little dog. He is my emotional support dog. Oh, I know, all of our pets are emotionally supportive, right? The picture shown is…
