Dumplings with Chili Sauce
I've been wanting to try dumplings with a really hot chili sauce for some time now all because of the food pics on Instagram.

Foxy Fix Traveler’s Notebook in Spice Latte
I shared a few images on my Instagram of the Spice Latte Traveler's Notebook I purchased but here's a few more. I'm loving this TN so much. It's a very soft and pliable leather. It feels so good in my hands. The color is a light taupe but more on the brownish beige side. I... Continue Reading →

Just before noon, most the snow and ice had melted. Teddy gets excited when she sees snow. She only comes inside after she's had her... Continue Reading →

I remember when I first found WordPress and wasn't sure if this would be a good platform to move my blog to. Initially, I was paying another hosting site for a website and... Continue Reading →
A Quick Hike at Castlewood Canyon State Park
Last Friday, husband's planned hike to a 14-er didn't work out, so instead, he and I went to Castlewood Canyon to do a simple hike, something I could handle. It was beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. Where I'm looking toward in the photo was once a damn built in 1890. The dam... Continue Reading →
