Saturday smiles: keep it simple edition

March 11, 2012

Late again. Maybe I should change the name to weekend smiles. Oh, well.

Not much about this week was simple, so I’ll simply show you two reasons why I’m still smiling.

That about says it all, right?

Welcome

Hi. I’m Lisa, and I’m glad you’re here. If we were meeting in real life, I’d offer you something to eat or drink while we sat on the porch letting the conversation wander as it does. That’s a little bit what this space is like. We talk about books and family and travel and food and running, whatever I might encounter in world. I’m looking for the beauty in the midst of it all, even the tough stuff. (You’ll find a lot of that here, too.) Thanks for stopping by. Stay as long as you like.
