    Happy Summer Solstice

    ByMary Crozier June 20, 2020June 20, 2020

    Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. This year it is today, June 20, 2020. Lots of 20s in there! I’m beginning to think 20 may be an unlucky number as this year has been very unsettling. The Summer Solstice occurs when the Earth’s North Pole…

    When It Rains It Pours

    ByMary Crozier May 20, 2020May 20, 2020

    I am always curious as to why there are times in life where “things” happen in multiples. And not good things. Well, I seem to be in one of those downpours lately. As I mentioned in Saturday’s blog post, the 75 gallon water tank in the basement split and flooded two rooms. A plumber, two…

    Post Christmas News

    ByMary Crozier December 28, 2019December 28, 2019

    It was a very rainy Christmas morning here in Phoenix~~just perfect for lighting each of the fireplaces. This is one of the first years we didn’t have guests, so it was just our family. That set the tone for a very relaxing and easy day. After reading Santa’s letter and opening presents, Dad made his…

    Simplifying Christmas

    ByMary Crozier November 30, 2019November 30, 2019

    I don’t know about you, but I am STILL cleaning up after Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful day, especially with the weather being moody and overcast. If you are looking for a cocktail (or can be made without alcohol) for Christmas, this one is certainly the right color! I am not a fan of anything…
