My Hide and Drink leather composition book cover and matching mini briefcase paired with the Retro 51 Tribute 250 pen and Rickshaw case. I’m savoring this “everything is new” moment. All of this, except my coffee cup and the cupcakes will be interred in a time capsule until America’s 300th in 2076

This is absolutely infuriating. I am fearful this is only going to get worse over the next four years.

It’s Santa Troll in Hoosierland!

These are the best kind of surprises!

Relaxing on a cold autumn night.

First snow and dropping temperatures, the roads are slick.

Look who is watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade! Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. #instax #thanksgivihg #macys

Dust off your old tape recorder and take it to your family’s holiday get togethers. Now is time to preserve stories, recipes, recollections, and memories before they slip away. I cherish the Sunday suppers I tape recorded when my Mom was still with us. You won’t regret it. #TheGreatListen
