My 10 Favorite Abbott and Costello Movies
I have such fond memories of watching Abbott and Costello movies with my Dad when I was young. As goofy and corny as they were, they were also just plain fun to watch. And they still are.

Welcoming Spring
This weekend the weather was so lovely. It reached the high 70’s. We spent one day hiking at a local spot with our dogs. Then Sunday we picked up some lovely pansies and dressed up the tree at the end of our driveway. Pansies just seem to say “Welcome, Spring” don’t you think?

Carolina Snow
Growing up in Massachusetts we took snow for granted and considered it part of living in the north.
