A Villa in Greece Beckons….

Broken Hearted.

Barely home, and now he’s off again. The hubby is being whisked off to war again for another deployment and I’ve been an emotional wreck. We’re close to the ten times mark for the number of times that he’s left and I’d say that’s way too many for just one family....

Too Much of a Good Thing…

Too Much of a Good Thing…

I have a tendency to wear something “too much” when it is my favourite item. These green pants/capris are currently one of my faves and I have to restrain myself from reaching for them every time I am putting together an outfit to go somewhere. In fact I was recently...

Newspaper in My Garden.
