    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier March 14, 2020February 20, 2021

    We have arrived safely back in the USA after our 6 day Spring break trip to Vancouver, Canada. It was a spectacular mother/daughter adventure with my youngest child and college freshman, Elisabeth. Traveling was very enjoyable. I felt as if the planes were the cleanest I have ever seen, plus nearly all passengers were happily…

    The Best Kind of Friend

    Ringing in the New Year!

    ByMary Crozier January 7, 2020January 7, 2020

    Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.  ~~Benjamin Franklin Holiday decorations started coming down yesterday. It is tradition to leave them up until the Epiphany (January 6th). Technically, my “new” year starts this week. It feels good to get back into a schedule! Here are my top priorities for 2020!
