Playing Dressup at Charming Charlie’s
My cousin Veronica and I (and our boys) chaperoned Ella & her good friend on a shopping trip last night. While the girls wandered around Charming Charlie’s looking at all the accessories the baby boys had a field day playing dress-up. I’m not sure who had more fun…
The Pie Safe
This pie safe has been in my mother’s family for five or six generations. It stood in our kitchen when I was a little girl, and now it is in my dining room, holding my precious sewing and crocheting work, and also Ella’s sewing box. I’m hoping this pie safe will inspire me to “find”...

While visiting Tammy York, who wrote one of my favorite books (60 Hikes with 60 Miles of Cincinnati) I learned about the game Enchanted Forest.
