Book Chat – Holiday Reading
Now that we are fully into the holidays, I like to read sweet stories with happy endings set during the yuletide season. I began reading holiday books a bit early this year so I would have some reviews to share with you now. Most of these are quick reads, light stories in easy prose, with …
Sunday Chat – Garden and Quilting
The flowers on the veranda continue to be happy with the high humidity these past days. The geranium keeps giving me gorgeous blooms. The plant is really leggy now, and I need to cut it back, but I want to wait until these blooms fade. Sunset one day last week after a rainstorm had passed …

A MINI Christmas
It was a rainy day with lots of fog on the route when we set off for the MINI Christmas event in the northeast Georgia mountains. Arriving mid afternoon, the MINIs were staring to line up in the parking lot. Some had added some holiday cheer to their cars. They are still fun to see, …
