Went to Roots market today. It was cold and damp but that was a great excuse to wear my black and white rain boots, yellow sweater coat and a huge zebra scarf. Sort of like a chubby demented bumblebee, but a cute one! Got two compliments on my hair and outfit from strangers. I was [...]

Yikes! How did it get so late in the year? My daughter Jennifer, her husband Jason, and son Nate were here for a whirlwind visit over Thanksgiving when the shop was closed. They live in upstate New York and we don’t get to see each other very often. I cooked dinner and my folks and [...]
