Change Happens

OK, so I like change.  I am  one of those women who moves furniture around to create a new look...(alot). They keep telling me one day I'm going to regret it in my back. Well, I think I'm almost there, but I just keep telling myself to use my legs (right?!)  But in changing to this new look for my blog, I didn't even have to use a muscle.  So I'm OK. 

As our seasons change...like the one we just had...changing from the Thanksgiving season to the Christmas season usually changes some of our decor too.  I've left a few photos I found online help inspire some Christmas decorating ideas.

Tid Bits

Today was grocery day and as usual my cart automatically went to the magazine department.  There were a couple of new August issues out so I bought the Martha Stewart "Living" and the Phyllis Hoffman "Celebrate". 

It just so happened that a watermelon made it's way to our house today and as I was reading the Martha Stewart - Living magazine, she had a little tid-bit in it on cutting a watermelon.  It was called "on the level".  She explains how to cut a wobbly watermelon where it's easier to handle.  She says to remove both ends and stand the watermelon on a flat surface.  Carefully run your knife down the side of the melon to remove the rind, then slice into wedges.  So I tried it.  Easy, breezy!  It save alot of time doing it this way. 

I love watermelon and as hot as it is here in Florida, watermelon is a staple in our house (and it's good for you). 

With the heat raging at 92 degrees, it's a little hard to start thinking about the Fall season.  But... it is going to be here before we know it.

Phyllis Hoffman "Celebrate" did it again.  What a great magazine.  This is her Festive Fall Issue and it is loaded with all the fall decorations imaginable.  Gorgeous!
