Childhood Possessions
I placed some items in the top of the box that I have collected over the years - small mirror, gloves that were mine, shoe pin cushion, little iron pitcher, pearls, and a photo of me at 6 months. Notice the lack of hair. Didn't have much until I was 2 and then it came in curly and is still that way.

Supporting Operation Smile
As you may already know I am a retired college professor
and between my husband and I we have 6 college graduates and
several grandchildren who are nearing college age. As a parent and professor I
was constantly reminded of the huge cost that students
incur when buying their text books. If any of you are parents or even
students, I’m sure you can relate. Well, for a nominal advertising fee I
have been asked to endorse a program being offered by CampusBookRentals and I have agreed. This post was written by me and all opinions are 100% mine.
While they have an excellent web site and there are
great advantages to renting from them;
such as
- saving 40-90% off of bookstore prices
- saving 40-90% off of bookstore prices
- free shipping both ways
- allowing you to highlight in
the textbook
- and flexible renting periods,
I want to focus on two items of note. The first and very important is
that they partner with Operation Smile.

Hubby's Birthday Cake
Yesterday was my husband's birthday. We do not get much into gifts these days, but I wanted to do something special - make him a cake. His favorite is devil's food with chocolate butter cream frosting. Nothing fancy! But what to put on top?

Guest Post: Going Retro
Going Retro!
In home décor retro is the new 'now.' Even if your home has all the mod
cons, latest gadgetry and shiny new furniture you can add a touch of vintage
warmth to any room. You have great freedom of choice in your particular decade
of retro, with everything from the 1920s to the 1980s making a comeback in
interior design and on the catwalk alike. You can choose to remodel the entire
room, or just add touches of retro glamour here and there to hint at homage to
days gone by.
