Fun times in Boston, despite the Nor'Easter

Well I manged to visit Boston between the Nor'Easters! Only one day of the whole trip was really horrible and that was Friday night when we ventured out to go shopping! The umbrellas were a total fail in the horrible winds! Thanks goodness the shopping was inside!

Saturday was spent wandering around Brookline and the local shops and of course Trader Joes!!
The highlight of Saturday was going to see "Waitress".

We were way back in the rafters but that was fine. It allowed me to bring my contraband of snacks in!! It also gave us a great view of the lovely Boston Opera House.

On Sunday we went to a lovely old church on the Boston College campus. There were some very talented vocalist in their choir!

We had brunch at our favorite local spot and then headed over the the Boston Museum of Art. I realize I really don't get modern art, but the they had plenty of classics to admire, along with some mummies!

Sunday night we watched the Oscars and did a little facial therapy! I would of included a picture but I promised I wouldn't put it out for the world to see!

Monday was a little more shopping this time in Copley and in the Back Bay area. I took pictures of somethings that inspired me, thinking that I could make these myself!!

It was a jammed packed week and I had the absolute best time, despite the weather. Until next time Boston!! 💜

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Craft night!

Daughter #3 and I have been wanting to do a craft night for quite awhile. When our local studio offered this Map String Art class I knew we just had to go! The class was set up to do the map in red, white and blue. We didn't want to have two of the same thing so I decided to do mine in different colors. I went out and bought ... you guessed it .. purple and white string!! We had so much fun!! think they turned out pretty well! Here's a close up of mine after I cleaned it up: This wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. They used this site for their inspiration: http://thetwinery.com/2013/08/inspired-by-pinterest-map-twine-art.html I think I'd like to do one of our home state of Kansas next. Pinterst had some pretty good sites; http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2014/10/missouri-love.html#_a5y_p=2693507 And finally here's a picture of our class: I can't wait for our next craft night!!

Capsule Wardrobe

I have thought about doing a capsule wardrobe for quite awhile. Now that the season is changing I thought I would see if I can make it work. I scoured the web and Pinterest for information. I found this great site that at least helped me find a starting spot. One of the tips was to chose a base color, black or blue and go from there. Black was the obvious choice for me. I need to say that I decided to start this project at 9pm at night. I decided to clean out my closet at 9pm, was I crazy? Yes, but I forged on... I cleaned out my closet, then I started with pants, skirts, tops etc. I used the website to help me figure out what I needed. Long sleeve knits, in three basic colors, grey, white and black. Same for the short sleeves. Then I moved to the next thing skirts, three skirts, grey, black and denim. Next was sweaters, grey, black....are you starting to see a pattern? I realized as I moved through the ...
