We thoroughly enjoyed watching the Oscars last night. From the opening song, Can’t Stop the Feeling, to the ending snafu of naming the wrong film for best picture – the night was another classic for the books. This one will go down in the history books as being the first time ever that a wrong …
The Oscars will be here in just a few short days, and I am busy planning my party menu. I have not seen all of the movies that are up for best picture yet. I just have two more to see, and I plan on watching them by Sunday afternoon. The ones that I have seen? …
I grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I still love them today, and in fact last night for a late night snack I had half a peanut butter sandwich 🙂 Not only are they a nostalgic favorite – they are quick to make and with the right bread and peanut butter a healthy snack. …
Join me in a 2017 reading challenge! I love to read, but finding the time to read is a real challenge in my life. That is why I am really glad that I belong to two book clubs. This forces me to find the time to sit and read. Plus I get the added bonus …

And sometimes for some it is not, not, not. Sometimes, we …

We all know that I love to travel. I actually planned on traveling less in 2016 than in 2015, but in the end I think I got around even more. When last summer hit, I jumped into the car and set out to visit family all over the USA. It was wonderful! Time with family …
Soon I will be heading to Washington, D.C. to walk alongside thousands (possibly 180,000) of others on the 1.5 mile route of the Women’s March on Washington. The fact that I am traveling nearly 3,000 miles to march 1.5 is not lost on me. Why am I marching? What do I hope my attendance will achieve? …
