Remember when we would go to the record store and listen to the latest single? If you don’t remember….so sad. What is true is I love music. I wish I could make my own. I am not gifted in that way. What I do do is appreciate those that do create music. And I certainly …

I Have a Complaint
I’ve decided you can often tell in the blog world when your peeps are happy. How? They write. After arriving in Boston last week, my business partner and I were heading to our first destination after meeting in the airport. I was driving. While in the passenger seat she proceeded to tell me something I …
Massachusetts Meeting
This woman was baking bread, outside in the heat dressed in multiple layers of clothes. She talked old English and called me “Good Wife.” Plimoth Village was amazing.

After spraining my ankle this morning trying to get some exercise I ran across this. If there is one thing I wish I could do well it would be dancing. It just makes me happy to do it, to watch it, to imagine it. Hope you enjoy it. If you don’t….bah hum bug you poor …
Worth It
It has been two months since Ben and Breann got married. It is fun watching them figure things out and loving each other more everyday. Life is tough. It’s good when you have someone to share the joy and divide the not so joyous. Remember to laugh everyday. It always ends up funny in the …
