On the top of my places to visit wish list is Ireland. There are so many wonderful things that I would love to see there. Friday O' Freebie. I don't do much in the way of decorating for St. Patrick's Day given that some years Easter takes precedence. But this year I gathered up a few green bits and bobs and placed them on a tray. Starting on Monday I will begin a two-week salute to all things Irish. In the meantime let's celebrate my one year blogging anniversary with a wee ... View the Post
A Lesson in Love and Friendship
You just never know when you will meet a person who will change your life forever. A Lesson in Love and Friendship. In the third grade, I met T. She sat at my table in Miss Dobson's class.

Ready for a Tuesday Trip? Here's a little-known fact about me. I love aquariums and zoos. I am Decor Doolittle. Sweet Boy loves the zoo too. He's been asking to go to the Wildlife World Zoo on our side of town because they opened up a new aquarium. Its A Zoo Around Here!
