It is quite odd actually.  I was waiting for my car to be serviced at a local dealership.  While I … Read the full blog post →

I think the fall roses are always my favorite. Perhaps because they are richer in color their scents are stronger this time of year.  This is a climbing rose getting ready to bloom again.  It looks like it is floating through the air.  I Just love it. My favorites are Eden roses. What kind of roses do you like? Do you prefer scented? And what about your favorite color?  I hope you have a wonderful day my friend. .. And remember to take time to smell the Roses…    

Hi! How’s your week going so far? Mine is swell. My new good friend here on the coast is back from vacation. So, I’m getting ready to head out for a lunch date.   However, I wanted to share about a very special party a good friend in California recently hosted. btw…I’m a pretty lucky gal to have such wonderful friends. (grin) Anyway, my California friend belongs to the SoCal Chihuahua Club and for several years has been hosting their Halloween Party. This group of friends bring their pups in costume, and enjoy an afternoon of friendship, food, & fun. Many pups are … Read the full blog post →

We went out for Italian food, and then went to the theatre to … Read the full blog post →

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ There’s a great event going on this weekend in Temecula, California. I’ve attended it several times in the past.

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ I’m sipping tea, and walking around our little cottage today. There is “weather” here on the Oregon coast. It’s funny  (ha!) that for the 30 years I taught elementary school in California March weather wasn’t that extreme.  My March classroom bulletin board often said “In like a Lion, out like a Lamb” but,  let’s face it I really hadn’t experienced “real” weather in So. Cal. However,  trust me. ..now I am.  Here’s a peek, … Read the full blog post →
