February 7, 2021 I was in a bit of trouble This past Sunday morning after I got dressed, I slipped into a cute pair of boots and leggings to complement my black dress. Well, I wasn’t sure if I had the right color combination of items. Since hubby wasn’t home, I did what any blind …
December 11, 2020 “Enough already.” Have you thought or said those words lately? Most of us have drawn dangerously close to that overwhelmed state because we’re saturated by the ugliness that paints the country and the world. Anyone out there ready for a break from all this? Let’s change that mood and find a lighter …

March 13, 2020 My ten-year-old grandson got up from the dinner table, walked over to me and tapped my shoulder. “Nana, thank you. I love the noodles you made. But next time can you put a little less salt. I’ll still eat them, but I’m just telling you for next time, okay?” I gave him …

November 15, 2019 “C’mon, girlfriend, we’re going to the mall.” “Whoo hoo!” I hung up the phone with a huge smile. Any chance to hit stores and come home with bargains stirred girlish excitement.
