    The Importance of Friendship and Kindness

    ByMary Crozier July 18, 2022July 19, 2022

    Yesterday I was feeling out of sorts.  Blah.  Not physically sick but emotionally restless.  I try exercising and that didn’t fix it.  I eat healthy food all day to no avail.  Typically I wake up each morning in a happy state ready to tackle the day with lots of focused energy.  But on this day,…

    Growing Roses

    ByMary Crozier March 7, 2022March 7, 2022

    Christmas Catch-Up

    ByMary Crozier December 24, 2021December 24, 2021

    I am so excited to be back at writing my blog again. We finally took my husband’s very belated big birthday trip to St. Thomas last week. This whole pandemic thing truly makes everything so much more complicated. The trip originally started as a river boat cruise down the Rhine River to see the European…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier November 13, 2021November 13, 2021

    Happy Saturday to you! I’m a little late getting out today’s post but all for good reasons. My son and girlfriend are in town visiting for a wedding, so the latter part of this week is full of those celebrations. Since this will be the first time in 26 years that our son hasn’t been…
