I can’t imagine a more impressive beginning of my first trip to the stunning city of Seattle. I think I could live here. Of course, when the first night means staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, how could I not love it? After being picked up at the airport, my daughter Kristina and I stepped out of […]

Happy Birthday to my Baby!
Happy Birthday to my Kara! It doesn’t seem that long ago that she turned age one and was reaching for that candle. Today she is twenty-eight, which I can hardly believe. I could tell you a million things about my precious girl, but it would be a book. Let’s just say she is now an […]
On the Ship!
Kristina and I are on the ship to Alaska! We got so busy in Seattle, that I had no time to write a blog. The ship is just pulling out and I am afraid we won’t have internet access very soon. I have no idea if I will be able to post our adventures until […]

Fresh Off the Farm
Why is it I didn’t already own this cookbook? I asked myself this at a book sale last week. It took me all of about 30 seconds to peruse it and know it was a winner. Most nights, I bring a book up to bed to read by flashlight so I won’t keep my husband awake. I […]
Honoring a Special Daddy for Father’s Day
Father’s Day is this Sunday. I would like to wish all you wonderful fathers out there a very Happy Father’s Day. My father died thirty-two years ago in May 1980, a month before Father’s Day. I can never celebrate the day with him again, but my girls are lucky that they can celebrate with their […]
