Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…

These are oh, three of my favorite things: The Victorian Trading Company : It’s expensive, but  you can get pretty good deals every so often. Their Halloween stuff is most excellent. I get at least one thing every year. This year may well be the Apothecary Jars (with Poison labeling of course) and the Apothecary Banners.  I love LOVE the… (more…)

Heat or sun stroke? What’s the difference

So this summer, my husband got sun poisoning by being out on the lake, having the boat break down (he was with friends whose boat it was) and forgetting sunblock. What is sun poisoning? He was sick for over a week, developed blisters all along his arms that sweated something icky and he was just out of it. Uncomfortable and… (more…)

#wineparty is the big fun
