The Pond

I love Meryl Streep. She can take on just about any role and make it hers. By that I mean, she becomes the person she is portraying.
Her latest movie, Mamma Mia, is getting rave reviews. I cannot wait to see it. It looks to be an uplifting and fun movie. I might not wait […]

One thing I like about traveling is trying out different foods. You would think that living in the US would mean we all eat basically the same foods. You would be wrong. There is so much diversity in all parts of the US. In the south, you will find lots of beans and cornbread on […]

Traveling in the Smoky Mountains certainly gave my digital camera a workout. I have noticed that I am unable to get good pictures in certain settings. I need to check with my friend Drew to find out what digital camera accessories I need to take pictures at twilight and other times when lighting is not […]

I have been accused of giving “the look.” My look is a look that I have perfected over the years. I have worked hard to achieve “the look.” It is a look that moms strive for and one that says, “I mean business” or “you had better get with it.” I have another look. My […]

It is crunch week. We began planning our vacation back in the fall of 2007. My family decided it would be fun to sell some of the crafts and purses we make and so we rented a booth at a flea market in Tennessee. We have been sewing our little hearts out as we try […]

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. This is the time of the year when my flowers look their best and the weather isn’t quite so hot. It is nice to sit in the swing and watch the dogs play. Whether you are enjoying a day off or working on upgrading computer memory, I hope […]

What are your plans for the fourth of July holiday weekend? I hope your weather cooperates enough to allow you to enjoy the day outdoors. I plan to help hubby work in the yard in the morning before it gets hot. We may have to fire up the grill in the evening and then […]
