{What Enriches Your Life?}

Our dog, Walter does a lot of things.  Here are just a few… This has been a silly post, so what’s the point?  (Not that there always has to be a point to all our posts.  Sometimes we may share something “just because”.)  However, I’ve shared pictures of our dog Walter because he truly enriches ourContinue reading “{What Enriches Your Life?}”

{Holiday Homes Tour}

This HoLiDaY Scott and I were asked if we would participate in our town’s Holiday Homes Tour to help raise money for a non-profit animal shelter, called the Castaways.   How could we say “No”?  WaLtEr our chocolate lab is a rescue dog.  So here is a sample of what people saw on the tour: Kitchen #2. InContinue reading “{Holiday Homes Tour}”

{LOL}

Sometimes in life you just have to “LaUgH OuT LoUd”.  That is, at YoUrSeLf.  Stop taking yourself so SeRiOuS (and trying to impress people) and just roll with it. This happened to Lara and I a few months ago.  We were trying something new on our blog – using a SmArTpHoNe to record a video.  WeContinue reading “{LOL}”

{I’ll Be Home For Christmas}

This WiStFuL World War II song has special meaning as it depicts so beautifully the yearning of SeRviCe MeN and WoMeN (as well as others who are away) to be home for the holidays.  This song is still a special one and the Suede Sofa wishes you a WaRm holiday season whether you are home for Christmas or there onlyContinue reading “{I’ll Be Home For Christmas}”

{Take A Picture. It Lasts Longer.}

I was recently thinking back to an event in my life and wanted to go back and revisit it for a second.  The only problem was I had not taken any pictures, so I was left to reminisce in my sketchy memories.  Boy, did I wish I had taken pictures.  I know it is easy toContinue reading “{Take A Picture. It Lasts Longer.}”

{Peace With Food – Numero Uno}

{Subcribers–sorry your link didn’t work again today.  We found the problem.  The email subcriber link will work tomorrow!} There’s a verse in the Bible I love that says, “WiSdOm is SuPreMe; therefore get wisdom.  Though it cost all you have get understanding.”  Proverbs 4:7 (NIV) I personally believe the first step to peace with food is gettingContinue reading “{Peace With Food – Numero Uno}”

{Mean People}

You can call them “the Scrooge”, “the Grinch”, or “MeAn PeOpLe”.  We all either know of some or come across them from time to time.  And for whatever reason it seems that their antics are more AnNoYiNg during the holiday season.  Maybe that’s because their negative persona is in stark contrast to the cheer and joy of the Christmas season.Continue reading “{Mean People}”

Biggest Bang For Your Buck {Take Stock}

From time to time its good for us to TaKe StOcK of our life.  Where we’ve been and where we’re going.  What has worked and what has failed.  What stays and what goes. I find the end of the year is a good time for this.  January one is synonymous with new BegiNniNgs.  And here is the questionContinue reading “Biggest Bang For Your Buck {Take Stock}”
