Hi!  Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Over to the right you will see recent posts  as well as posts broken down by category. Feel free to browse, reply, and even contribute!
As you can see, I have very eclectic tastes! So you will see everything from gardening and food preservation, to cooking, business tips and DIY stuff too! At times you will read posts about places I have visited that I thought worthy of either a good or not so good review! Feel free to contact me with ideas of things you would like to see or read about. I grew up on a farm, I have had a wonderful and exciting life with lots of travel! I love meeting new people and interacting with new cultures! I was raised by a mother who was ahead of her time and allowed as well as encouraged us to always explore new things, after all, how do you know if you enjoy something, unless you attempt it! I have two wonderful daughters, and an awesome husband! Life does not always give you roses, so I do my best to make every situation a good one!
