Hey Sweet Lifers! If you ever thought you were the one to choose your fur babies, let me just tell you, they choose you. Recently, I went out to bring in my girls Sasha and Angela for the night, and each time I called their names, I heard a loud, “Meeeeeow!” in response to my call. Both of the girls came...

LIVING THE SWEET LIFE
Hey Sweet Lifers! On a rather brisk day in February back in 1976, I received a bike for my birthday. I remember wondering as I wobbled on the seat and with hands shaking held on tight to the handlebars, if I would ever not be afraid of getting up on that contraption! A few months later my sweet grandfather,...
Hey Sweet Lifers! I’m guessing that most of you celebrated the holidays and got to spend time with those you love – hope so anyway!

I know, what a way to intro my column this month, but keep reading, and it will make sense and perhaps even make you smile. I am constantly being reminded of the fact that at some point my garden became a home for others,...
Hey Sweet Lifers! One of the most versatile herbs to have in your garden is thyme. There are more than 400 different species used from culinary to medicinal to just fabulously decorative. The tiny petite flowers are a pretty addition to plates, and the scent is lovely when making floral arrangements from...
Hey Sweet Lifers! There’s a running joke between me and my oldest and best friend about when to buy things.

LIVING THE SWEET LIFE
Hey Sweet Lifers! Everyone should have a house plant, and I believe that like choosing a pet, the decisions about which one, or in most cases ones, to select is a choice made by personality. This conclusion has been based on deep research as both my sweet Brian and I have slid into the wonderful world of...
