I learned that social networking is incredibly important. And one of the most important things I learned it to always have…
I love the smell of cinnamon. It always reminds me of the holidays. And cinnamon scented pinecones make the whole house smell fabulous. You’ve probably seen them in the local craft stores, sold along with the scented brooms. But here in Georgia, where pine trees are everywhere, we have our choice of free pinecones everywhere….
As in any sitcom, sometimes real life gets gets in the way. This weekend, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful German Shepherd, Sandy. A rescue dog, she has been our constant companion for the past twelve years. Her calm, good nature was always a good mix with the other dogs. And she was…

WaZ UP?? 1. It has been a busy week here at chez Sitcom. Saturday was the Georgia Quilt Show and I was very excited to attend just to see my quilted wall hanging there with all the others. I didn’t win a ribbon, but I was thrilled to even have it accepted into the show….
The daughter and I wanted to carve pumpkins this year, and of course we wanted to make ours a bit different. Because that’s the way my family rolls. You certainly can’t expect the norm from us. I have been playing around with the idea of a “jeweled pumpkin” and my daughter wanted to make something…
