    Halloween Memories

    ByMary Crozier October 30, 2017October 30, 2017

    I know some people are not fond of Halloween, but I have such great childhood memories going trick or treating with my siblings in our small Connecticut town.  There was a cemetery across the street from our Dutch Colonial house. We would run by it really fast imagining all sorts of ghoulish things, squealing the…

    The Art of Gift Wrapping

    ByMary Crozier October 26, 2017October 30, 2017

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,…

    What is on your bedside table?

    ByMary Crozier October 6, 2017

    As you know, I have been on a cleaning, sorting and organizing whirlwind.  Starting at one end of the house, my goal is to go through every drawer, closet, dresser and attack it with the mindset as if I am moving in 2 weeks. Expired makeup, business suits with shoulder pads, miscellaneous paperwork – GONE!…
