my journey, destination unknown
Since being back in Atlanta, I’ve only cooked a couple of times. For some reason, it is more challenging for me to cook while here as there are more people involved. Grocery shopping is more difficult. Mealtimes are no longer under my control. Plus, I’m here for only a short time, and I need to…
I suppose I’ve written about it a few times before…. What Season? Hello my name is Gwyneth and I like holiday cards Holiday cards done But I’ll re-iterate. I love receiving and sending holiday cards. Please keep them coming! I managed to get them sent out before Christmas this year, but the postal service has…
Goodbye 2020! Today, I completed my 2020 Passion Planner. When I purchased this planner last year, I wasn’t sure how much I’d use it (I’ve tried using planners before with no luck). Taking time out to not just write down my goals and steps to reach those goals, but also giving myself freedom to decorate…

Maybe it is strange to think about celebrations in these crazy times. I wrote about this five years ago, in celebrate! But maybe it is time to revisit why I continue with this silly project…. Now that I have been doing this for, oh, seven years, I have built up a list of holidays along…

Last spring, Chloe build some garden beds in the backyard and planted some plants that attract pollinators. In addition, I put in some veggies. While the garden didn’t get much love after I left for the Cape, the tomato plants are continuing to produce new fruit! I doubt they’ll make it through the winter, but…
For the past year, I’ve not had much in the way of peaceful moments. I’ve either been overwhelmed and axious or have felt guilty when taking any time for myself to read and rest. There have been very few moments of peacefulness. I have decided that I need to give myself a break and have…

Shingle cleaning. Who knew it was a thing? I guess lots of people, but not me …. Like many homes on the Cape, ours has cedar shingles as siding. I love the natural grey of the aging shingles. Unfortunately, mildew was covering many of the shakes and causing them to rot prematurely. In order to…
