Oh Happy Day! Today is a very special day for me. It is Mr. Décor’s birthday. Oh, Happy Day! Some of you are well acquainted with Mr. Décor. You know that he is a man of honor.

Holiday Rooooooad!
Who loved the 1980’s classic theatrical gem National Lampoon’s “Vacation”? Sweet Boy and I recently hit the Holiday Rooooooad! We were on a quest to go to see dear friends and visit Legoland during his fall break. The boy LOVES his lego’s and was beyond excited.

I will stop right here and let you know I DO NOT take it to ... View the Post
Silver for Sunday Supper
When I was a little girl it was my job was to set the table for dinner. It was always Silver for Sunday Supper. Except on Business ~ Lucien Davis, 1885 Silver for Sunday Supper My Grandmother Mary and Papa Jack had a set of silver plate that they used for their everyday utensils. It featured lovely swirls and curves and a small rose right below the “V” monogram. My tiny fingers would often trace out the design. To my eye it was the loveliest set of silver I had ever seen.

For our 10th anniversary we went on a cruise. Our second port stop was the island of Cozumel (Mexico). You ... View the Post
