Art on the Pier at P-Town

While on vacation at Cape Cod this summer, we visited P-Town (a.k.a. Provincetown) at the very top tip of the Cape. While we walked along the pier waiting for our whale watching boat, I was able to enjoyed three lovely yet very different pieces of art. Each inspirational in their own way.

An unexpected gift from my childhood Christmas

I don’t live near my family, so we mail our gifts to each other. This year, I got a huge surprise when opening the box from my parents. The cling-on Nisse characters I played with at Christmas time as a little girl. I’m half Danish – my Dad’s parents were immigrants from Denmark. Growing up [...]

It’s time to switch out closets, test the furnace, gear up for lots of holiday entertaining, and finish those nagging little projects to get your home ready for more “inside time” with your family.
