Cool Southern Summer Night

It was one of those rare southern June nights. The temperatures dropped into the 60’s last night. I welcomed the cool breeze and opened up all of the windows upstairs.

Keep moving forward

  I was going through my photos early Monday morning and found this one (featured photo). I stopped to take the time to reflect on the moment I took it. I remember how I felt standing in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. I remember stopping, watching my #LittleLove peaking through the tall walled garden surrounding us….

Midsummer Night’s Backyard Party

About last night… I am a sucker for all things themed parties and I must say, it is great to have neighborhood friends that love it as much as I do. We have an Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, two Halloween parties and themed potluck dinner nights. To date, we have had Asian, Italian, Polish, and…
