Week 108! We are now two weeks post-op. Nigel had his first appointment, and it went so well! He’s thrilled with the way his left hip is responding. Actually, I don’t know which one of us is happiest! He’s even beginning to talk about vacations next year! Friends, that’s a big one because he’d convinced …
I always feel like the rabbit in Alice! I’m always running late with the 10 on the 10th previews. I think about them way too early, and then I forget. But, at least, I get them out a few days ahead of time. I thought we’d try something completely new this month. Instead of just …
A couple of weeks ago, Nigel and I were walking somewhere, and I noticed shadows moving ahead of us. I told him we were chasing shadows. He just thought I was goofy. But, I thought Chasing Shadows sounded like a really good idea for a blog post. Where will that take me, though? You can …
I think this is such a sumptuous painting, don’t you? The last of Henry VIII’s queens was Katherine Parr. Unfortunately, we don’t know who painted this portrait, but it’s beautiful. If you’d like to read more about the artist, the art, and my interpretation, you can find that here. I’m so happy to show you this …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. I am this week’s curator …
This photo is almost six years old now. This is my oldest grandson who now towers over me. But, he’ll always be this little fresh-faced kiddo. This is from a Kusama Infinity Room at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This weekend, he’s swimming at an outdoor swim meet. And, it’s a little chilly for that. …
The right space supports how you want to live. Whether you’re working from home, raising a family, or planning your next chapter, your surroundings make a difference. It’s not only about location or square footage; it’s about how the space works for your pace, your routines, and your goals. Making smart choices now can bring …
Week #107 It has been a week, my friends. Nigel is one week post op with the left hip replacement. He’s doing fairly well with walking. Pain, though, is a hard one. The man has an extremely high pain threshold and hates that 1-10 scale (I do, too, for that matter). He’s on some powerful …
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on …
My own advice… I love to give advice. Just ask Nigel. Well, he’d probably say I nag more than I give him advice. My kids will tell you I give them too much advice. The one person who never listens to my advice? Me! Nigel complained for a while about his leg hurting, and I …
