Another time and place


Years ago, a long long time ago, in the year 1950 to be exact, this is what the license plates in Idaho looked like.

Today this license plate is the cover of a book.  A very special book.  It is a book of my life.

The author of this book is my baby girl.  She will always be my baby girl. And this will always be a book about me. About my childhood, my high school, my early motherhood days, right up to the present.


This is above the cabinets in a corner of my kitchen.

I love these French Chefs.

They know good food.  And I love good food.  I appreciate what work goes into good food.



When you enter the front door of my house, this is the tile in the floor.

It is beautiful.

I would never had thought I would have this as the entrance of my home.

If I built this house, I would not have spent the extra to do this.
That makes it all the more special to me.



Directly under the French Chefs is this grouping.

That is a photo of me and my DH (dear husband).

I need him near me, so I have this photo to get me through each day.



In the family room is an apothecary cabinet.

The silver pieces are on top, in the dust.

I love the way they shine.



This was a gift to me from a very good friend.

I painted the magnets red, to match the French Chefs.

The tin plates are a great place for notes and reminders, business cards, etc.

I miss my friend.

I love seeing this each day to remind me of her.



And this little fellow is in my studio.

The studio is having a hard time getting put together.

I need some muscle to move a few things.


Yes, this is the now and where I live.
Just a peek into my world.
Join me often for updates.
It is nice to have some visitors come and see me.
Please, come again soon.
