Long time, no post. I spent the last 10 days in Arizona visiting family and friends. I love staying with my cousin. He is great cook, one heck of a decorator and he likes to shop. What’s not to like? In keeping with my summer pledge to try new things I spent two days in Sedona. My dear friend from college planned a quick trip so we piled in the minivan, all 5 of us.

This is the update of my previous blog. I chose Kelly’s Shoe Box for two reasons. This site is going to serve as a way for me to collect photos, ideas, images, articles and other items I want to save and share.
