houseplants

 These beautiful succulents sitting on the window sill beside our table

 in a downtown Lancaster PA restaurant last week

 reminded me of how much I enjoy plants

 and missed those back home!

I have only a few -

and the ones I DO have require very little attention.

Still I would miss them if they weren't there...

dress shopping

 It's been a long time since I've shopped for clothes.

I needed a loose-fitting, long cool dress(es) to wear

at a conference we'll be attending.

I have NO luck in stores and shops.

So I turned to the internet where I encountered sticker shock!

Before I took the plunge, I ran up the road to a thrift store.

To my pleasant surprise, I found two dresses that will work just fine,

thank you!

$1.50 each.

Now to dig through my lingerie drawer to find a  suitable slip for the see-through dress above.
