    A Colorful Walk

    ByMary Crozier October 22, 2017September 14, 2021

    It is so rare for many of us to experience solitude.  Even when I am not on the go, my brain seems to be racing . With all the hats we wear, having calm and quiet time is a luxury. I went on a long walk this morning as I am by myself at our…

    Who doesn’t love chicken soup?  I always like to keep some on hand, especially when the weather changes and sniffles start appearing. My daughter who is a junior in college wasn’t feeling well and I whipped up a batch for her.  I don’t really have a strict recipe, but it’s hard to ruin this soup,…

    ByMary Crozier September 28, 2017September 14, 2021

    Spicy Apple Candle

    ByMary Crozier September 19, 2017September 12, 2022

    I don’t know if I have confessed that I do not like to shop.  I really dread going to the store, especially if I need new clothes or shoes, or heavens forbid, a bathing suit or underwear. But I do have one or two favorite stores because they don’t feel like a chore, but rather…
