Lynchburg has abysmal choices for fabric shopping. Yesterday I went to Roanoke where the choices were much better. I think I found the fabric that I want to use for my dining room curtains. This would be the main fabric for the topper: This would be the fabric for the gussets: This would be the…
I love not working. I’ve been out of school for nine days and it has been terrific. I like my students, my school, and I love my teacher friends, but boy is it nice to be in my own little world doing as I please! I had two tennis matches last week – doubles on…
Mr. SP and I are off to Williamsburg for two days. We’re going to Busch Gardens the first day and shopping the next. I haven’t been to Williamsburg in a little over a year. The last time I was there, I was with a bunch of girlfriends and we had the best time. Roller coasters….Here…
It’s only Sunday morning and I’m happy to report that this weekend has been wonderful. The sky has been sunny, the temperature has been warm, and the humidity has been low. I went for a run by myself on Friday. It felt good to run again after several days of tennis and other commitments. While…
I love these! For winter they held layers of Hemlock cones and some sweet smelling pods that I bought at Buffalo Spring Herb Farm. For spring they had small eggs that were brown, dark green, or light green. One year for Easter they held jellybeans. Last summer they held sea glass. In the fall I’ve…
NINE more days of school! I can’t wait to get out and have some time to do exactly what I want to do. Mr. SP and I looked at the calendar last night and realized that we might not have time to take a vacation. That is SO depressing. We are going to the beach…
Horses consumed my life from 4th grade until I went to college. I lived and breathed horses. The smell of a stable still is one of the best things in the world to me. My horse died while I was in college and that, along with having a waitressing job instead of a stable job,…
I love this stuff! Using it gives you a very realistic light summer tan. The scent is light and not offensive at all. I’m very sensitive to smells and most lotions are too strongly scented for me. Not this one. If you are in the market for a faux tan, try this!
A week without blogging? That’s just too long! Here’s what’s been going on with me:Mr. SP (I’m going to call my husband that from now on) had to leave for an unexpected business trip last Friday. I was on my own until Tuesday. The time passed quickly, but I sure did miss him and was…

My running partner has a giant vegetable garden and some of its bounty was shared with me on Sunday. I picked two plastic Kroger bags of spinach. After it was washed, spun in the spinner, and placed in containers, this is what I have to use all week. I took the small plastic bag to…
I’ve made this every Sunday for the past three weeks. The recipe was given to me by my friend Jeannine. It’s from Cooking Light magazine. I leave out the crab and it just as good, imo. I’ve been using dried thyme instead of fresh and Russet potatoes instead of red ones. I highly recommend this…
