We’re getting there, Peace and I! I thought you might enjoy seeing an update of the dress I’m currenly working on. I was able to spend the majority of the day yesterday, working on my dress, and by last night, felt as if I’d made progress. I’m hoping by tonight to be able to say [...]
Forty-two degrees out and windy! Pascal and I choose the sunny side of the street to begin our walk this morning. At first it felt freezing, (I was glad I had put Pascal’s coat on.) But as soon as we got a good pace going it felt wonderfully exhilarating!! As I have mentioned before, I [...]
I love children too! I have two grandchildren of my own who I love dearly and want them to have the very best, illness- free lives, possible. I would be devastated if they were to get lead poisoning.

Pascal and I returned to Heather Farms for our morning walk, as “Spring” continues- It amazes me to see that the hills are turning green. We’ve had so little rain! The grasses on the hillsides are getting long and, swaying in the slight breeze, they looked like feathery strands of green velvet; so pretty! I [...]
Hello it’s Sping in Ca. today! I began the day by taking Pascal on a beautiful walk at the nearby park, Heather Farms. The little lake was filled with ducks and geese this morning and it seemed they were all talking at the same time. They seemed to be very excited about something. We stayed [...]
Change.org has been conducting polls to see what the top issues are that Americans are concerned about. The issues that come out in the top 10 are going to be presented to President Obama. The CPSIA came out in the top 10!!! That is such encouraging news to me. If you’d like to read about [...]
I have recently found a wonderful online site that is a world-wide collection of shops exclusively for all things handmade. It’s called Etsy.com. I’ve opened a shop and listed some of my dresses for sale. There are so many wonderful shops to see there I’m continually amazed at the fantastic items people are making. It’s [...]
