Hi friends! How are you? I am back from my adventure – actually, I got back Wednesday evening but I have been SO busy! In the days since I have been back I have a) line read Inhale Exhale AGAIN, this time in order to approve the layout, and there were some small changes that […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things: The Fall Follies Edition
September 25, 2025 by
I was at the dog park last week, walking in my usual loop, when I passed by a man I see quite frequently. He’s probably in his 70s, and he has two dogs, one of them a very young puppy. This is against the rules – dogs less than four months are not permitted in […]

I considered a photo project featuring all seventy-six of my tees, but a) that sounds boring, and b) I […]
