Life of a Renaissance Gal
I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been working on some pattern designs and they’ve been pretty time consuming. Watching… Bosch. I flew through Season Four last weekend. This season was really good. I don’t want to give anything away. Something big happens this season that I suspect will be the focus of…
I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been low on creative energy and have been working on building up my reserves. I think I’m making progress. Reading… Still Me. I loved Me Before You. The sequel was okay, but I didn’t like it nearly as much. That isn’t stopping me from giving the…
Doris Day poses in a massive Easter basket, 1952 via Mashable Do you have big Easter weekend plans? My mom will be visiting this weekend. We may try to hit an estate sale on Saturday and my sister is hosting Easter Dinner on Sunday. I’ve been hard at work in the front yard this week…
Building the Flatiron, 1902 via History in Pictures Do you have big weekend plans? Spring is here; it’s time to get going on spring cleaning and yard work. Some spring cleaning inspiration. This might account for the weirdness. We should all read. I love books set in exotic locales; I need to check out some…
Reading… The Grace of Dogs. After hearing the author on a podcast, I was excited to check out this book. It explores our relationships with dogs. Do they really love us or just love that we feed them? Do they understand us when we talk to them? If dog books are a trigger for you,…
Filming of MGM Opening Credits 1928 via History in Pictures Big weekend plans? I’m spending some time with my mom and hopefully spending some time outside. This woman is living the dream.

Reading… The Last Mrs. Parrish. I think this may be one of those books that was recommended as the next “Gone Girl.” I had the twist figured out pretty early in the book, but it was still entertaining. Watching… The Golden Girls. I require a good comedy in my life at all times. I’d finished…
Auto Palace, Portugal via New Old Stock Do you have big weekend plans? I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. The weather is supposed to be pretty nice – maybe I’ll start prepping the yard for spring. Okra! Thankfully, this hasn’t happened at my house. My kind of camping. My dream. Stay awake….
Reading… The Good House. I listened to the audiobook of this one. It started off pretty good. The (unreliable) narrator is a realtor that may or may not have a drinking problem. That question is settled about halfway through the book and I found the rest of the book a bit irritating. I’m a little…
Costa Litoral, Leiria, Portugal via New Old Stock Do you have big weekend plans? I’m planning to check out this home tour. Dog days in France. So pretty! This may inspire me to shop at Whole Foods. Have your accounts been compromised? Hmm… What color are tennis balls? I’m always up for a good twist….
