I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Don't Drink and Drive, er, Mow

    Only in Wisconsin - where the state drink is BEER!

    We bought a mower to tackle the acreage up Wisco way...and when hubby and I unloaded it from the van, we were surprised and delighted to find it had a CUPHOLDER!

    I donned my goofiest (intentionally so) sun visor (bought on the Atlantic City boardwalk last summer), junky sweats, and was about to tackle the Great Green Way that is our yard up in Big Flats...until hubby came running out of the house with a can of Point beer for me to sip while mowing (its brewed about 40 minutes North of the cabin...)

    The cupholder is visible to the left of the seat. Try to find it in the picture!

    yep!

    Its kind of a "set-up" shot...I mean, I really don't like beer very much.

    But then again, the "Brandy-hasn't -showered-in-two-days" look in the pic isn't an affectation; it's REAL! Eeeewww!

    Now THIS is a side of you I have yet to see!

    p.s. the cup holder is recessed into the metal over the wheel???
