    Random Saturday Morning Thoughts

    ByMary Crozier February 22, 2020February 22, 2020

    This week began with my husband going out of town for 4 days. Do I tackle a big project or sit and watch chick flicks and relax? As his plane was departing I was already pulling things out of the “does a hoarder live here?” garage. Two out of the 3 bays are relatively organized,…

    The Table is Set!

    ByMary Crozier November 26, 2019November 26, 2019

    I didn’t intend for the Thanksgiving centerpiece to match the artwork in the dining room but it happily does!

    My Afternoon Walkabout

    ByMary Crozier November 5, 2019November 5, 2019

I miss those days 🙁 My daily walkabout is not only a chance to get outside, but a way to free myself from technology, projects and…

    September Projects

    ByMary Crozier September 21, 2019September 21, 2019

    Happy Saturday! It has been a whirlwind lately~~so many meetings and pending projects. I keep reprimanding myself that I want to post a new blog once a week, but I blink and time has slipped away. There is a distinct weather change here, finally! This morning it was 68 degrees. Though that may sound warm…
