The cooler temperatures this week prompted me to do some sprucing up in my closet. I’m dreaming of fall and weeding out my tank tops and white shoes.
You know, no proper Southern girl would ever wear white after Labor day. As for the tank tops – I keep them around only to remind me that I once dared to wear them!

Life is sometimes tragic, but always humorous.
I got a good chuckle this week at my book club. Our hostess spent the first 30 minutes of our monthly meeting trying to get the hang of her new automatic wine bottle opener-which was quite handsome, I admit.
She was determined to show us how handy it was. It took all ten of us pushing and pulling to get the thing to work. It would have been easier and quicker to chew the cork out of that bottle. When everyone finally settled down with their glass of wine, we couldn’t remember which book we’d read!

Cleaning out my closets always reminds me that I have been living a life of excess.
Always in search of the perfect pair of black slacks or the most comfortable shoes on the planet, I shop till I drop.
As a consequence, I must have 10 pair of black pants, ditto for black pumps which are lurking around, like ladies in waiting.
All of them have something wrong with them – pants too short or too heavy and hot, or shoes that pinch or went out of style during the Crusades. Today I began the Great Purge and I plan to be brutal! (more…)

I’ve been calling all over the country for weeks, desperately seeking someone who could refinish my old claw footed bathtub.
I have a confession. I bathe in olive oil, but it leaves a greasy mess in the tub. Since a Clorox soak worked so well on my porcelain kitchen sink, I tried it on the tub.
My bad. It turned the tub an garish yellowish orange color that forced me to wear sunglasses. I’ve taken to bathing in my guest bath room.
