in Tommy's memory

Almost 2 months ago my husband's brother Tommy died. Tommy was born with hydrocephalus. He was blind and couldn't walk. I feel guilty describing Tommy by listing his disablities. You should also know that he was loved by everyone who knew him and we miss him so much.

Our family is doing a walk for March of Dimes in his honor. If you'd like to sponsor me on this walk, here's a link.

at the cottage...

It's Tuesday which means I'm at The Cottage. It is awfully chilly today and something is wrong with the heat. And I dressed for warmer weather today forgetting how chilly "in the fifties" can be. My fingers are frozen. :( I keep putting my hands up to the light fixture and rubbing them together to warm them.

I thought you might like to see more pictures. It is never the same here...new things added, big pieces moved or sold.

Here's one thing I just added to my little room. It's a jar of vintage bridesmaids and groomsmen. How cute do they look all piled in there? Oh, I had some questions about whether the items represented in my room at The Cottage are available for purchase...absolutely! I can even make the letters, customized for you.































p.s. Jenny, I'm so excited about your planning a visit to see The Cottage! I will definitely plan to be here!

My father made this bunny costume (the head he bought from ebay).



I took these pictures of him with my nephew Seth.





Here's a picture of my father at the door of my parents' house with my sister Jessica. We wanted to show Rich the costume and Rich was outside taking a walk with my sister's dogs.



Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of Maggie's birthday party or of anyone else all weekend.
