There will be no blog post this week because of technical troubles. My computer has been in the Apple "hospital". Hopefully all will be back to normal for next week. xox Judy❤️

The Angels…
"The Angels", (translation from Spanish to English for Los Angeles), walk among those broken by the devastating fires that have ravaged their homes, businesses, schools, churches, and the unbearable loss of loved ones and pets. What has struck me through all the heartache is the sense of community and caring for neighbours. The tireless, heroic… Continue reading The Angels…
A New Year…
Recently, I revisited a speech given by Ruth Bader Ginsburg on optimism. Even in troubled times, she was confident that when the pendulum swung as far as it could go in one direction, eventually it would swing back in the opposite direction. RBG was a champion of gender equality. Would she be as optimistic today?… Continue reading A New Year…
Do you believe in magic…
Whether your Christmas is a religious celebration or a time to spend with friends and family, you must agree that seasonal decorations and the lights that twinkle in your tree or the ones you see as you pass through your neighbourhood make it a magical time of the year. … Continue reading Do you believe in magic…
Simplifying Christmas Decor…
Charlie has been pretty good about not destroying the "Town Square" village I set up on the coffee table a few weeks ago. However, I've decided not to tempt fate by setting up the Christmas tree. This has saved many trips up and down the stairs hauling heavy boxes of treasured ornaments,… Continue reading Simplifying Christmas Decor…
Follow Up to Preserving the Past…
Last week's post, Preserving the Past, was about gathering the photos I'd taken on my phone and creating photo books. The only book ready to order was for the "pop-up boutique" I operated during the pandemic. I received my book in the mail today, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out...especially… Continue reading Follow Up to Preserving the Past…
Preserving the past…
Do you remember when we took rolls of film in to be developed? That seems like a lifetime ago! Now, our phones are an extension of our arms, ready to take photos on a whim. Unfortunately, these photos are often forgotten and are forever stored in our phone photo library. I take so many photos,… Continue reading Preserving the past…
A Spring Bouquet…
The current "nose" for Dior, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, has reinvented "Miss Dior". And it smells divine! Last week (when it actually felt like Spring!), I received my new "Miss Dior" perfume order. I couldn't have been more excited...the packaging is beyond beautiful, and the buzz before the release was so enticing. The original "Miss… Continue reading A Spring Bouquet…
Love Letters…
Have you ever received a love letter? Lucky you if you have...I haven't. Yes, I've been given fabulous gifts and heart-warming cards, but never a love letter. In fairness, perhaps I'm part of a different generation than when this custom was popular. Love letters have been exchanged for centuries, but it's an art that's dying… Continue reading Love Letters…
Groundhog Day…
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day... You may remember the movie "Groundhog Day", about a cynical weatherman (Bill Murray) who finds himself reliving the same day, February 2, over and over while on location in Punxsutawney to report on Phil, the Groundhog who predicts when Spring will arrive. We, too, may feel like we've… Continue reading Groundhog Day…
