    The BBQ Project is Complete!

    ByMary Crozier June 13, 2020July 5, 2020

    Back in March we established the quarantine Honey Do list, which included deep cleaning the outdoor barbecue area. That led to the discussion, ” let’s tile the backsplash behind the grill”, which grew legs from there. To see more projects we are tackling, click here. In search of tiles that aesthetically fit a 110 year…

    My Art Studio

    ByMary Crozier June 10, 2020June 10, 2020

    When It Rains It Pours

    ByMary Crozier May 20, 2020May 20, 2020

    Escaping to the Cabin

    ByMary Crozier May 2, 2020May 2, 2020

    After a very stressful week meeting unpleasant deadlines, I jumped at the chance to join my husband in his annual “take the geraniums to the mountain” trip. The high temperatures in Phoenix are distressing the many potted geraniums we have. Each spring we pile them in the back of the pickup and drive them to…
