Yesterday Brett and I bought our pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks and other fall decor at Dussel’s Farm, just around the corner from us. It was a busy day for them. Here are some pics I snapped of their decorations. I hope to get mine finished by Wednesday.
Heart Health Report Card for 2007
This weekend is the second anniversary of heart attack and the beginning of my 17 day hospital stay that included a triple bypass. One of the things I was determined to do was change my life and live a healthier life. Last year I put together a report card to track my progress to a healthy lifestyle. I think it keeps me accountable and is…
Happy National Coming Out Day!
I had forgotten to mark my calendar for this event. It wasn’t until I received an email from HRC that I realized it was today. According to HRC, today marks the 20th anniversary of the 1987 Gay and Lesbian March on Washington and the unfurling of the AIDS Quilt on the National Mall. National Coming Out Day events are aimed at raising awareness of the…

Crafty Week
I love crafting. It seems like I have so little free time at home to do anything. A few years back my cousins Linda and Joan made me a fleece tied blanket as a gift. We love it. It’s so warm and soft. Brett and I love watching TV with it covering us on cold winter nights. Abby, our dachshund, makes a beeline to craw…
It’s already Friday!?!?!
Why do vacation weeks go so fast and work weeks go so slow? Today was a full day for us. We woke up to no electricity and decided to venture out early. We turned out spending the whole day on a road trip. We started with some shopping in Duck. We had lunch at Pigman’s BBQ in Kill Devil Hills. It was the best! We…
Vacation at midweek
What a perfect week! The weather is so nice and keeps getting better. Yesterday we spent time at the beach. In the late afternoon we went to Manteo on Roanoke Island to take the sunset cruise on the Downeast Rover sailboat. It was a perfect evening for this cruise. We packed wine, sushi, veggies, cheese and other snacks. We all decided it was one of…
