Last week I won Elizabeth’s mystery giveaway over at Creative Breathing. It was mystery not because I didn’t know what she was giving away, but because you had to be Nancy Drew and solve a puzzle. It was a lot of fun.
In her blog, Elizabeth tells stories of her life. And my goodness, does she have some stories. [...]

(If you’re having trouble seeing the pictures, please let me know. I’ve been having trouble with them, and don’t know if it’s my computer, or something else.)
Today was another fun day at the local flea market. Although, it is getting much hotter, so I don’t know how much fun the next couple will be. I [...]
