Goodbye, 2020!
Hello, friends. Like you, I’m quite happy to put 2020 behind me. I won’t lie. This year has been, shall we say…challenging…in a lot of ways. I have made it through the year better than I started it, and for … Continue reading

A Smokin’ Hot Adoption Raffle!
I try pretty hard not to be a promotional kind of gal, but this is something I would be remiss not to mention. My friend Brian Rowley of Growley Pipes makes some of the most beautiful tobacco pipes I’ve ever … Continue reading

Longing for Home
Today I am experiencing a deep longing. Two weekends ago, I went on a writer’s retreat in Rockport, Massachusetts (blog post forthcoming) with my Hutchmoot pals, Jen and Chris. The retreat was excellent and was very helpful for me as … Continue reading
