From our house to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

May gratitude fill the moments of your day, whether with family or friends or in solitude.

We will be counting our blessings.

I am very thankful for you and your presence here in my little corner of the virtual world.

Have a lovely day.

    Today I give thanks for all the people and animals who have enriched my life with love, laughter, tears and compassion for all my years . I count all my favorite bloggers among those for whom I am thankful as unknown friends.
    Praying for grace, peace and contentment for you, Don and Scout.
    Have a blessed day.

    Claudia, I am a faithful reader but very infrequent commenter. I so enjoy your pictures, your lovely writing and the way you generously share a slice of your life with your readers. I don’t read nearly as many blogs as I once did. I sincerely appreciate and am thankful that you have kept it real. Wishing you and Don a lovely and peaceful Thanksgiving.

    Happy Thanksgiving! Your scarves are lovely. I started crocheting afghans for my family after my husband passed away. I know exactly how you feel about crocheting. I hope you have a warm, cozy day.

    Happy Thanksgiving Claudia! I hope you and Don have a wonderful day with Scout today. It’ll be a quiet day at our house, just hubby and I. None of our kids were able to be home this year. But I’m still grateful for everything that We have. The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day.

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.
