The TallGrass Blog

This is a photo of Melissa Rackliff and me as she accepted our coveted Spa Babe award in 2002.

Almost everyone I know has gone on some type of vacation this summer.

I was reminded of the saying “take time to smell the flowers” yesterday in our garden at TallGrass.

This week, we are shipping dozens of boxes loaded with toiletries, games, playing cards and baseball caps to our soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

I've commented here before that I have no children of my own.

Yes, that's me in the chicken hat.

We experienced three heartbreaking events in February.

Sorry, but I am not a big fan of February

Some years are better than others. This past year, I was blessed by many wonderful experiences with family and friends – including many of you – but, personally, I'm ready for a new year and a fresh, new perspective.

One of my dearest friends in the world, Shelly DeWit, passed away on December 5 last year.
