I have never been a big fan of Halloween. Oh sure as a kid I loved getting candy, but I never liked dressing in costume and going out at night. All the other kids were running around squealing. I was scared and holding onto my dad’s hand for dear life. Go figure. As a result, I have never done a lot of decorating for Halloween. We… Read More

Fall Photos from Blue Hill Bay It is a beautiful Columbus Day weekend on Blue Hill Bay. The water and sky are so blue against the fall foliage. Instead of talking, I thought I would just share a few photos I took over the weekend. I’ll be back in a few days with the bathroom reveal.

It sounded like so much fun. My friends and I were thinking of trying it out. Then I saw Jennifer Rizzo’s post… Read More
