Before July 17th, our Frankie became sick with an upper respiratory infection (possibly pneumonia) and we took her to our local animal hospital. The vet gave her an antibiotic but wanted to try a stronger one the next morning.  We...

Hi. My name is Chelle, and I am addicted to antique interior lighting and lamps. 💡 Especially slag glass! Maybe it's because I grew up in the era of twirling disco balls shimmering over the Bee Gees, glitter-bombed roller skating...

We are in the middle of a melting ice storm and it's snowing with a refreeze warning tonight. Our electricity shut off last night, after midnight; but was magically restored when I woke up mid-morning. Whew! As it turns out...
