Black Friday: Don’t Need That.

How do you resist temptation during all the Black Friday frenzy? I’ve been humming an M.C. Hammer song, and saying, “Nope. Don’t need that.”

When we travel, our trips are almost always enriched by the kindness of strangers. This was particularly true of our trip to Portugal.

It’s been nine days of Covid for Hubby and me. Nine days of sleeping, coughing, whining, and reading.

Blazer and sweater weather is in full swing. I had a few days of wearing my fall sweaters at least.

We’ve been home in Ottawa for a few days now. But my head and my heart are still in Portugal.

Our trip in Portugal continues apace, friends. With some lovely sights, a few glitches, in Coimbra and Porto.

Greetings from Lisbon. Here’s a taste of the first days of our Portugal trip.

This week, I’m packing for Portugal. Planning, making lists, trying on outfits, getting ready to pack for a month away from home.

How do smart women dress? However they please. They dress to feel like themselves no matter who they are, or what age they are.

I’m slow to capture that September feeling this year. But I’m being patient with myself. And slowly becoming absorbed in things I love to do.
