Thank you, my friends. Your sweet comments are such a comfort to me. Riley is a bit better today and for that I am grateful.

Watching over Riley was my priority yesterday, but I did manage to go out and do a little garden clean up. The timing was right because I saw this:



A symbol of change, metamorphosis, transformation. And just plain beautiful.

A Request

August 5, 2010 at 10:55 am by Claudia


My friends, our sweet Riley is having some problems right now. We have given him some medication and are waiting to see if it helps him. If it doesn’t, we will have to take him to the doctor. He has always had health challenges and they seem to be getting worse. Today he couldn’t get up from the floor.

My Mother is also ailing and I will be going down to Florida to see her next Wednesday. I am trying to stay positive about things, but it is next to impossible at the moment. Whatever your beliefs, could you send your thoughts, prayers, healing energy and love to my Mom and Riley? They need them. I need them.

Thank you.

Adventures at the Bookstore

August 3, 2010 at 3:14 pm by Claudia

Husband and I took a little trip today; one we’d been planning since I knew I was going to be mentioned in Romantic Homes. We wanted to see the issue on the magazine rack at the bookstore. So off we went to Barnes and Noble.

We oh-so-casually walked to the magazine rack and what did we see?

Whoo hoo! Don took a photo of me:

And I turned around and took a photo of him:

What the…?????

At least this gentleman appreciates my blog.

Alright, you’ve redeemed yourself.
We celebrated. Don had some coffee, I had a decaf mocha frappacino and a cupcake.

When I was checking out, the young woman behind the counter very sweetly said, “Are you sure you want all these copies?” So I had the perfect opportunity to say, “Yes! I’m in that magazine!”

Don was adorable. He proudly told anyone who was near us in the House & Home section that I was featured in that issue. What a guy…

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
