A Place I’ve Never Been…
My oldest sister exposed me to an experience today that I’ve never had the pleasure of enjoying before, and if I’m in my right mind, may never want to enjoy again! A day with her four grandsons, ages 5 and under. … Continue reading
Okay, I Pinky Promise…
Yesterday two of my girls and I had a “pedi” day at the mall. I need to prefix this with a couple of items. First, until recently, I was a “no one is going to touch my toes” person. Just … Continue reading

Christmas Gift Ideas for the “Old Geezers” in Your Life…
Ok, so it’s my Christmas list… *Reading glasses. (You know that little chart at Walmart that says to stand 14-16″ away and choose the line that you can read clearly? Well, I can’t read any of them clearly…so just get … Continue reading

Throughout my life God has opened my eyes countless times to the many hearts that are lonely in this world full of people. I truly believe that many of us who are lucky to be surrounded by family, whether raising kids, … Continue reading
Sun, Sand and 50…
I picked up the brochures yesterday. It’s 12 degrees in Pennsylvania. And I told my husband, “Happy 50th Birthday To Me”. Jamaica, St. Lucia, Bahamas, Antigua…someplace warm and beautiful. With blue skys, white sand, and crystal clear water. That’s the … Continue reading
