January Favorites: New Mattress & Puzzle Board, Kitty & Movie Room Finds, Plus, A Great Gift Idea For Any Age
My oldest grandson is currently skiing in Colorado with family, but just before he left, I gave him an early birthday gift, thinking he might enjoy having it with him during long airport waits and in the evenings after a fun day of skiing. My friend, Pam, told me about this game, The Genius Square, commenting how fun it is, and she was right! (Thanks, Pam!) It only takes around 30 seconds to understand how its played, so you get to the fun … [Continue Reading...]
Missing My Peloton Bike, So I Bought This!
Welcome to the 890th Metamorphosis Monday! I was supposed to be back in Georgia by now. The plan was to head back to Georgia right after New Year's, so I could spend the winter there. So why am I not there? Welllll, I ordered a dishwasher in December for installation before Christmas. When the installation guys arrived, they informed me I needed an outlet installed underneath my kitchen sink cabinet. All the electricians were booked up, so the outlet installation … [Continue Reading...]

The Plates Were A Bust, But That’s Not Stopping This Valentine’s Day Celebration!
Welcome to the 907th Tablescape Thursday! Sadly, my plans to set a table this week using these plates that I recently ordered didn't work out. I ordered two sets, and each set arrived on a different day. The first set to arrive was defective: the writing on the plates was crooked/cockeyed.

Puzzle Thieves, A New Murder Mystery To Solve & Making Special Memories
Ever since adopting sisters, Miss Agatha and Miss Beatrice, four months ago, trying to get any work done has been a challenge. As soon as I sit down at my desk, they race over to chase the bug that's always running across the monitor, aka the cursor. Anyone else have this issue with their kitties? On this particular day, Beatrice was busy writing out a Post-it-Note list of treats that she and Agatha need the next time I go grocery … [Continue Reading...]
Getting Organized: No More Searching Through Drawers For Bandages & Ointments
Welcome to the 889th Metamorphosis Monday! Ever since moving to Ohio, I've had to step up my Band-Aid game. When you live near two active grandsons, and you're accident-prone yourself, you can never have too many Band-Aids on hand. A few days ago, my youngest grandson needed a bandage for a cut on the lower part of his finger. I knew I had the perfect Band-Aid for it, but I couldn't find it since it was mixed in the box with a gazillion other styles/shapes of … [Continue Reading...]
6 Favorite, High-End Shops I Was Surprised To Find On Amazon
Last summer, while shopping for sheets, I started noticing that so many of my favorite stores, stores I consider to be high-end, are now available on Amazon. One that I've known about for a while is Yeti. After verifying with Yeti that their Amazon store is the real thing, I've purchased many a Yeti item via Amazon. I saw this newly released tumbler today called Moon Dust, and it reminds me so much of how the sky looked when I camped two nights in the Sahara … [Continue Reading...]

Welcome to the 888th Metamorphosis Monday! Happy Monday! Thank you so much for all your kind words and well-wishes for a speedy recovery from this awful flu that I've been fighting.

I thought I had turned the … [Continue Reading...]
