    Happy New Year’s Eve!

    ByMary Crozier December 31, 2017December 31, 2017

    Happy New Year’s Eve….hard to believe it will be 2018. I want to push a big brake pedal on life…it’s is going TOO fast! We are having a nice dinner this evening with no plans for anything formal tomorrow. When I made my Thanksgiving centerpiece (to see the post, click here), my friend Tracy, wished…

    Coffee/Beverage Center Re-do

    ByMary Crozier August 2, 2017August 2, 2017

    The lifeblood of our household revolves around the kitchen, especially the coffee/tea counter. In the mornings, this portion of the kitchen is crowded, with each family member making their favorite beverage.
