50 Is Nifty!

I had such a beautiful birthday. Thank you to my friends and family!!

Retro Albert Nipon dress and COOL vegan handbag.



Shelly and me!


A dozen roses from a wonderful black belt father and son team at Hanko Ryu!


TRUE retro canisters as I slowly turn back the clock in my kitchen.



Vanilla custard filling - Boston Creme Pie Cake.  Mmmmmmm!



My girls!

Outgrown Mom

It's official. Bella has outgrown mom's shoe size. Height is next! 

Merry Christmas

Guardian Angel on Call

So, my nose was running and I walked into the living room to get a tissue. Only to find our nice chair BURNING having been pushed against a Christmas window candle! No flames thank goodness. Saved by snot. Go figure.
