Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~Ada Louise Huxtable Now that my oldest offspring is officially done with school, summer has truly started in the cmhl household. It started with a bang, actually,

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-resounding roar is the Ocean's voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. ~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850 I am thrilled that 2007 is over--- I feel refreshed and renewed with a brand new sheet on my calendar signifying a brand new start. I hope all of you have the courage and the drive to mold 2008 into the life that you

My favorite Chistmas carol? Ahhh, so glad you asked. My favorite carol is the ever-popular Good King Wenceslas... Good King Wenceslas looked out, On the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight, Gathering winter fuel. "Hither, page, and stand by me, If though know'st it

From "The Sound of Music" Words by Oscar Hammerstein 2nd Music by Richard Rodgers There's a sad sort of clanging From the clock in the hallAnd the bells in the steeple too,And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little birdIs popping out to say "coocoo". Regretfully they tell us,But firmly they compel us To say goodby to you. So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,I hate to go and leave this

Bennie is an exceptional artist; if you haven’t seen his work, be sure to go here to check out what he currently has up for sale. Bennie blogged recently about an uncomfortable situation

Much like most self-respecting southern women, I enjoy cultivating my eccentricities. In a land of sweet-tea drinkers, I drink unsweet. Yes, when you order unsweetened tea here, you simply say "unsweet." A little odd. The biggest decorating trend here I can see seems to be distressed black furniture with deep red accents. I am sticking with the shabby-cottageish-antique-ey theme I have

Benefits of writer's block: You assume too much, cmhl... perhaps blogger's block would be a more accurate representation... more time to obsessively clean! never good enough!! field trips! caught up desk at work! seriously moisturized feet. thoroughly walked dog.Ahhhhhhh. I'm going through a rather tough period right now, gentle reader. That is the thing about the whole "new leaf" situation, it
