Yes, it is close enough to September to put my new calendars on sale! I will be outside All Through the House on Main Street in Stoughton from 10AM til 1PM (weather permitting) on Saturday, September 3 with both wall and desk versions, as well as and greeting cards. I am very pleased to say […]

The big windy storm that came through the Madison area on Thursday, July 20, knocked down a big tree outside of the Magic 98 building on Ray-O-Vac Drive in Madison. Here are some pictures I took of the tree. It took a lot of wind to do that.  

This is my newest dynamic duo for this wicked hot weather! Notice that both bottles are empty! That’s is because they are so-o-o-o refreshing and so good for me, and I drink buckets of it. It’s 100% juice from pomegranates and I prefer the strawberry kombacha, but your own taste buds will guide you. Probiotics and electrolytes, low sodium, […]

This baby bird fell from its nest, or maybe its flying lessons did not go so well. Its parents were still in the tree, basically hysterical, while this little critter was pretending it was just another petunia in the flower box. Yawned, blinked its eyes a few times, and nestled down between the window and the […]

You are looking at Lucille, the new and fabulous place to hang out in Madison! Pat Sweeny invited Gregg (my son) and I to take a look at the new digs. They have opened to raves, and it’s no surprise!  Right where the Isthmus used offices to be, Lucille has added the coolest huge, sliding […]

I recently learned that after water, coffee is the next-most-popular drink worldwide. I have NO idea how they figure out such things, but it’s no surprise to me. After my son Gregg and I had a very nice birthday dinner, we noodled over to Sur La Table to look around at all the cool cooking […]

As long as I can remember I have been naming my cars. Back in the day ,people wouldn’t think of not naming their horse. My car is MY horse. Right now Murry is my car. Well, I’ve taken it a step further, and have named my phone. Eddy. He’s a flip phone, and of course […]

Spring has sprung! The snow in the picture above will look positively great when it’s 110 in the shade later this year. I will re-post this photo to remind you!   Since the downtown Steep & Brew closed, Saad and his crew are doing a fantastic job of keeping Madison in great coffee shape on Odana […]

​It has been awhile since we had a view of Joe! I took this one day when he first woke up. He has been very sluggish this winter, (haven’t we all?) but there were years when he would sleep through the whole winter. I suppose in ‘turtle years’ he is a teenager.  I had a dream about him some time back that […]

I had a marvelous time on my trip home to New York. Trains are the way to go. Wonderful to be met at Penn Station by my most favorite man in the world! One big treat was going to Daryl Hall’s restaurant for brunch. (The picture above is of the inside.) Of course he has his house […]
