Daylight Savings Time...

My favorite saying this time of year is comes from our Native American friends, "Only the white man would cut the bottom off a blanket, sew it to the top, and think they have a longer blanket." Seems most appropriate to me. (Can you tell I'm not a fan of Daylight Savings Time?) 

Oh, well. If you don't want to be late for your appointments over the winter, I guess we all better turn back our clocks - unless you're fortunate to live in one of the few - or only - states that doesn't subscribe to this silliness.

Another Peek and a Reminder...

Here is another peek at an element in our master bedroom redecorating project. This is part of a large wall clock that we first purchased when we moved to Florida.

It says "Cayman Islands Plantation Company" on the face, and features a beautiful big palm tree. After Handsome and I married in 1984, we honeymooned for two weeks on Grand Cayman (British West Indies) and we have been back another four or five times since. This clock reminds me of wonderful, lazy days spent on white, sandy beaches in the middle of the Caribbean.

Now that we live in Florida, there are places here that remind me of that fairytale place...Siesta Key (Sarasota) immediately comes to mind. Those same white, powder, sand beaches; palm trees swaying with the rhythm of the waves; a laid-back lifestyle. Instead of dreaming of warm weather while my toes are freezing in Northern snowy winters, we now live full-time in our own corner of Paradise. We are so blessed.
