    Cleaning and Caring for Roman Shades

    ByMary Crozier November 15, 2022April 17, 2023

    With the holidays coming and the expectation of house guests, I am trying to spiff up our home with some additional cleaning tasks. In our kitchen, we have a corner of windows that overlooks the pool and the backyard. Twenty years ago, I had someone make Roman shades on each window. It dawned on me…

    Sorry to have missed last week’s Saturday Meanderings. Technical issues, frozen phone and too many hours trying to fix everything put me a bit behind schedule. But here we are now into November and I am trying to put the brakes on everything life related. Happy Saturday and thank you so much for being here….

    10 Tips On Aging Well

    ByMary Crozier October 25, 2022November 2, 2022

    Unfortunately, as I grow older, I spend more time on thinking about the concept of aging. The basic fact remains that each day we get a little bit older. Gravity takes over at some point and even though we feel 20 from the neck up, the rest of our bodies don’t follow suit. Yes, we…
