“It’s time to do your roots!” I screeched to Kathy, my eyes riveted to the stripe of gray along the part of her jet-black hair. “I’m letting it grow out. Gonna go natural,” she purred. “NOOOOOO!!! Don’t do it! You’re gonna look like an old lady.” She smiled, “I am an … Continue reading
“What do you write about?” That’s the most common question I get when I tell people I write a blog. So, the other day while visiting with Lynn at her Green Valley Lake cabin and her next-door neighbor, Katie, the question was asked. “Nothing. I mean everything. I dunno, I’m all … Continue reading
I didn’t read the fine print. I mean, really, who does? After my latest flight purchased through Cheap Tickets, I do from now on. I was excited to be visiting Lynn and Lucas at their home in Puerto Rico, a trip we had been planning for months. I didn’t care that it … Continue reading
How many states have you visited? And by visited, I mean more than just touching soil. You have to have lived there, vacationed there, or at least passed through long enough to have stayed at Motel 6 and dined on prairie oysters in, say, Amarillo, Texas.

She slipped out from behind the counter, skirted the half dozen or so single people hovering waiting for their take-out orders as well as several Door-Dash … Continue reading

He’s a darling little dog named Ollie. Adorable. I was referred by my hairdresser, Tuan. If you are referred by Tuan, you will get top priority from me. I do not mess with the man who does my hair. As I drove to the meet-n-greet, I thought no way…not doing this. It’s … Continue reading
Where am I? In the Caribbean sitting in Kenny Chesney’s famous Old Blue Chair on Cinnamon Bay in the Virgin Islands? Nope! Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
