Every family has one member that is known for something in particular. I AM THE TRAVEL NIGHTMARE!!!! From late to canceled flights, lost luggage, COVID while traveling, having to sleep overnight in an airport, trajectory of door plugs canceling a full fleet of airplanes...you name it, it has all happened around me! One of the craziest stories to …
Now, this is a blast from the past. How many of you out there grew up with plastic slipcovers on the living room couch? If you are there with me, remember the whooshing noise they made when you sat down? How about, what it felt like to stand up from the hot cushions in the heat of the summer? Or, how the sharp edges on the corners felt just …
A silly family poem I heard every year growing up. Spring has sprung The grass has riz I wonder where dem boidies is Dem boides are on the wing Isn't that absoid The wing is on the boid
There is a unique dive bar in Key West called The Chart Room. I learned of it reading Key West Lou's blog. It is hidden away in the bowels of The Pier House at the end of Duval Street.

I like to consider myself a bit like Linus from “Charlie Brown.” A little bit of mess follows me wherever I go. My husband, however, has the uncanny ability to detect my mess.

One of the highlights of our recent trip to northern California was a luxurious day spent in Sonoma. My daughter planned the whole excursion for the four of us – complete with door to door service and a scrumptious midday lunch. Next time I see you, I encourage you to ask to see pictures.
