We just did a photo shoot for our December ad in Ocala Style Magazine. I can't wait to see the proofs. We did an old-time scene in our nightgowns (mine was rented from the Ocala Civic Theatre) and we were reading the Christmas story - myself, my husband...

Christmas is approaching with the speed of a runaway train, and this year I've made up my mind that if anyone wishes me *Happy Holiday* they will get no response. I'm tired of this nonsense of pussyfooting around the reason for the season, in case...

I can't say that I know what I'm doing, but instructions were to create a blog. Merry...

Well, the trip down to Phoenix went smoothly, no snow, no ice and plenty of sunshine. Right after the Christmas program I was all packed and ready to go. I said my good-byes and headed to a much warmer climate. I arrived at my son Steven’s for the...

I remember when the biggest things I wanted for Christmas were a Walkman, money for clothes, jewelry and some VHS tapes.The list was easier to make when I was a kid, because my biggest wants and desires were things, easily purchased at stores and wrapped...

Do you remember the song "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree" made famous by Tony Orlando in the early '70? I have been singing it since we went to see Tony Orlando at the Welk Theater in Branson, MO. Tony and the Lennon Sisters are performing...

With Mother’s Day approaching, I am inspired by the wonderful articles and video I watched about breast cancer on Growing Bolder. I grew up being taught to put others before myself and used that analogy throughout my life. I remember many Christmas...

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several...

I like to think of myself as a relatively creative type of person. After all, I did spend a good part of my life in advertising and design, and as a child, I drew portraits and painted in oils. Sometimes, I get these brilliantly silly advertising ideas I...
