In Memory of Patrick Weseman & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #762
Last Tuesday, I woke up to very sad news in my Facebook feed. My dear blogging friend Patrick of Adventures in Weseland passed away suddenly on June 16, 2025. I can’t even describe how I felt when I saw the post. I guess it was just pure sadness. I simply sat there and cried. Patrick was one of the kindest, friendliest, and compassionate people I have ever encountered in this life and the world was a better place with him in it. I sure am going to miss reading his lovely comments, checking out his adventures on his blog, and opening his unexpected emails that always brought a smile to…

“Sommerdag ved Roskilde Fjord” (Summer Day by Roskilde Fjord) by L.A. Ring | Style Imitating Art
We returned home from our festival weekend yesterday, stinky and exhausted. Today I have about a thousand loads of laundry to wash. Sadly for me and my oversensitive nostrils, the laundry is even stinkier than we were! I am very thankful for my laundry machines today. But let’s stop all the stinky talk and get to this week’s Style Imitating Art challenge! About Style Imitating Art Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle.

Hiking Coney Mountain & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #761
We are currently unplugged from our phones and computers while we are enjoying the beautiful views and stellar music at the Smoked Country Jam Bluegrass Festival in “God’s Country”, Pennsylvania. Because we are unplugged, I rarely take photographs at the festival so I never have anything to share here afterwards. Instead, I am going to share some photos of our family hike at Coney Mountain in Tupper Lake, New York. Memorial Day week was a busy one for us with my husband’s birthday falling on the actual holiday this year and my birthday arriving at the end of that week. To celebrate his birthday, Jeff really wanted to go on…

SIA Gallery of Style | Wave I & Wave II by Vanessa Barragão
I am loving the beautiful results of this art inspiration on our outfit choices this week. The soft blues and creamy whites are really appealing to my sartorial senses as the heat and humidity are on the rise leading up to the summer solstice. I know I complain a lot about the cold, the snow, the rain, and the mud, but now it is the season when I complain about the heat and humidity. I guess the weather will not ever satisfy me. But if the weather is my only complaint, then I guess I’m still winning at life! About Style Imitating Art Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14…

The Thrifty Six in Nautical Style
Sally said, “Nautical Vibes for June!” And Shelbee silently replied inside her mind, “Ummmmm.” Every now and then, I have been known to enjoy a good Breton stripe, a comfy pair of boat shoes, a cute pair of sailor pants, or a red, white, and blue color palette. And once upon a time, I did have a nice collection of preloved blue and white striped shirts and dresses that were perfectly nautical. But with my recent style aesthetic being much more woodsy boho than coastal chic, I have purged most of those things from my closet. I am certain there are some ocean inspired pieces that remain in my wardrobe…
