Our Visit to Dennis the Menace Playground
A couple of weeks ago, because of fires, the noxious air in San Francisco made it so that going outdoors was not an option. Our desire to breathe air that wasn’t toxic led us to visit family in Monterey, California. While we were there, my sister-in-law suggested we visit Dennis the Menace Playground. How could […]

DIY Concrete Planters
Hubby has been wanting to make some concrete planters for quite some time and much to my delight he finally got around to doing it. Observe the completed concrete pots. Aren’t they lovely?
