Isaac’s Visit

Being in Florida, we of course felt a little bit of Isaac yesterday.  However, I am amazed at the difference just a little bit of distance makes (and I mean just 15 miles or so) in destruction in these types of storms.  Some people had homes destroyed from the tornado that came along.  Others had […]

Hi, Autumn Fairies!

It’s my favorite season—while up north, that is.  Living in Florida, fall is a lot different than in Pennsylvania.  I do so love the Northern fall—the colors of the changing leaves, the smell in the air, the sounds of the leaves crunching under our feet, the feel of the crisp air.  I love jackets and […]
