In The Mail!

Hello again!
My daughters had another really wonderful time with their family on the lake in Naples, ME. Their aunts, uncle and grandmother really tried to give them a memorable week and as a thank you, I created 3 scrapbooks for each and sent them out in the mail. The books should be arriving hopefully today.

Thank you for stopping by. Please come again.

Refinished Green Mirror

Daughter's birthday is coming up soon and she's at the tween age. Time to give her an updated room.

She wants EvErYtHiNg green. Just refinished a mirror in Spring Green (she chose the color).

Will be antiquing for other furniture pieces and refinishing them in green. (She has a twin 4 post pineapple bed which is in great antique shape and matches her sister's twin bed. That'll stay the same.) May not have it all done in time, but she'll have a green room soon enough.

So Fun! This Is Where We Used To Live

And where we got married and had both our children! Holliston is more like my old hometown than my REAL hometown does. So much happened in Holliston....

In fact, we lived in Mudville. The very SAME Mudville as mentioned in the "Casey At Bat" poem. Learned that from a very good friend and town historian.

Holliston
"Holliston
Native Set to Star in New Horror Sitcom

FEARnet has issued a greenlight for "Holliston," a horror sitcom created by accomplished film director and former Hollistonian Adam Green."

New Halloween Cards

Hello again!
Halloween is my favorite holiday; always has been. I saw these stamps and HAD TO HAVE THEM. Really like the clear cling style stamps. Several images come in a package and the package costs about the same as the wood-mounted rubber stamps. There are a couple more images which came in this package but these are the ones which I've done so far.

The color border is really a bright orange but it's coming across as red on the computer.... oh well.
Thank you for stopping by. Please come again.

So Glad To Have My Girls Home.

So many great stories and photos came home with them, too. They really had such a great time and are beaming!

Another Long Term Contract! Congrats!

So pleased for my husband because another long term contract has been tossed his way.

Great news but at the same time a little scary. Can he handle the old contracts and all these new ones? After a year free of his condition, will it return with the stress of the extra work and long hours? (It's been a beautiful, stress-free year since his condition hit rock bottom.)

Thankfully these days he mostly telecommutes; the extra work doesn't mean more driving for me! I get so nervous driving in and out of Boston and on Route 128 in general.
