THE Red Bag

Nobody does it better than Michelle Williams and Louis V.

The Good Things

Family
The Noisy Bird that sings so loudly, wildly...I love him!
My father's Roses....the aroma is so richly sweet
Coffee...brewed the old fashioned way with a big old pot on the stove, put on high, perk for 10 minutes...MMmmmmmm
Bach....simply the best soothing medicine there is..balm for the soul
Excercise....nothing like a good sweaty workout...
Writing...letting it out of your head and onto paper...rids clutter
Reading in Bed...simplest pleasure but oh, so wonderful, quiet, peaceful, like watching a movie in a dark theatre, but way more comfortable.

Song du Jour....

"Love Me Again" by John Newman. This guy is as he says, "Absolutely Mental!" His cool style, edgy voice, and "James Brown" feet sliding dance moves makes him the whole package!

About Me

SimplySusanDH: Like Shrek, I'm an onion with many layers. I'm humorous, passionate, inquisitive, love to write and read (I love Regency Romance...it's historical fiction, really...it is!), love comedy, love to laugh, I am an artist when the spirit hits me, and LOVE British sitcoms and mysteries on PBS. Call The Midwife is incredibly moving! I have a Masters Degree in School Counseling and now am more interested in The Arts in connecting to people and self-exploration. I am married with a wonderful husband and have two beautiful middle school boys and three cats. I am forever attracted to Ireland...and the Irish.
