We’ll worry about the declines over the weekend.

Another Sunday means another Small Project Sunday. Today was our bedroom closet. I feel like the before and after photos are less dramatic of a change but, trust me, things are far better cleaned out, organized, and easier to see.



Research…

Valentines Day dinner at home…

Inbox Zero.

My January? Not so dry…

Out with the old. In with the new.


Finally replaced my missed-so-much Volvo XC70 that got totaled back in September. This is a 2015 Volvo XC60 in great shape. Hopefully, it will serve me just as faithfully and long.
Some things to note about these senior photos of Beatrix…

Five generations of her family attended convocation in this chapel.

Her Great Grandmother’s ashes were scattered at the base of this tree.

These were taken by her aunt, my sister, Patrice in New Orleans.

They capture her well.

I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone reading the happiest of this holiday season. Times are complicated and sometimes everything seems so hard. Yet, in the past few days I’ve experienced heartfelt joy, unexpected wonder, and moments I’ll always treasure. I’m grateful for it all.
