After our trip to Yosemite earlier this summer, I have a new found adoration and appreciation for trees (Silver Lining). Not only are they are truly magnificent…but they are profoundly important to our lives. The importance of trees cannot be overstated. It’s likely that if not for trees, human life on earth would not even… Continue reading Sunday Sweetness #13: Trees

Happy 4th of July…Through the Decades
In case you haven’t noticed, I love-love-love the 4th of July! It’s an easy, relaxed, pressure-free (i.e., NO GIFTS!) holiday. The decor is festive but not frivolous (though don’t get me wrong, I do love my frivolity!). The food is fresh and delectable. Triple Silver Lining. I also happen to think that the 4th of… Continue reading Happy 4th of July…Through the Decades
