The retirement party that I hosted last Thursday was a success. After nearly a week of on and off rain, we were lucky to have blue skies with big puffy clouds for the party with not a drop of rain in sight. I raced home after school to get everything prepped before my guests arrived. …
This weekend we made a long trip to Baltimore to buy a new toy for Mr SP. The trip was an easy drive until we encountered the DC and Baltimore Friday evening traffic. I wouldn’t fight that kind of traffic on a day to day basis for anything. Blah! We finally made it to our…
I noticed today that my neighbor had three boxes at the end of his driveway with a note saying “Help Yourself.” I couldn’t get over there fast enough to see what treasures might be in the boxes. Each box was full of old bottles, many of them old liquor bottles. I don’t need any bottles. …
Another Friday is here! Hip-Hip-Hurray! I hope that everyone has taken time to do some exercise this week. With the Blogger glitches last week, you may have missed my “Week Nine” post featuring a great calf stretching device. If you missed it, you can read it here. This week I’m sharing one of my very favorite core exercises. …
Today is day ten in the count down until school ends. Nine more days until I am free to do as I please. One thing that I’m really looking forward to is having more time to read. I made a trip to Sam’s the other day to buy supplies for the retirement party that I’m…
My friend is in the process of selling her mom’s home and asked me to help her take some things to the dump yesterday. There were some treasures in her dump pile that made it home with me. My favorite is this old tea cart. I think it would be great to use for parties…

It’s been a crazy week here and it’s only Wednesday. We’re doing state testing at school which makes for a stressful few weeks for both students and teachers. I volunteered to host a retirement party next week. When I think I might prepare for it, I’m not sure. Adding to this, my tennis team has…
Last weekend Mama and I were in an antique shop in Staunton when I spied something that made my heart pitter patter just a bit – a Christmas themed punch sets from the 1950’s for only $10.00! The cups say “Egg Nog” on one side and “Jingle Bells” on the other. This makes my third…
Last night we took my mom and father-in-law to see Cirque du Soleil Alegria in Roanoke. I knew it would be good but I had no idea how impressive it would be. The strength and flexibility of the performers was unbelievable. To be honest, I watched with my mouth open in awe most of the…
I was the lucky winner of the cutest hair bow from Harper’s Hat Box on Etsy. I don’t have a little girl who can enjoy wearing this, but I do have a former student who just had a baby who is going to receive this as part of her gift. I know she is going…
