How do I know it's summer? I hear bees and see flowers blooming; I'm working out because that beach vacation is looming. I watch baby birds as they learn to fly; I welcome new beginnings into my life. And yes, I write terrible jingles that barely rhyme. Actually, I know summer is upon us because … Continue reading In the Mood for Sexy Summer Dresses
The party parade of 2008 seems to have a much mellower mood than recent years, most likely due to the trying times we're facing.

Unfortunately, when I hear that word my eyes roll back in my head and all I can visualize is the floral muumuu my mom wore on our trip to Hawaii in 1973. Despite that, I decided I wouldn't sleep until I found at … Continue reading Don’t Let the Muumuus Get You Down

As a young girl, I'd squeeze in next to my dad and the huge armrest of his brown and orange plaid recliner (yes, it was the 70s) in eager anticipation of the next chapter of "Alice in Wonderland".
