With all due respect to the Christmas season, I think this is my favorite time of the year. The weather is finally starting to change just a teeny bit, football is back, pumpkin spice lattes are back at coffee shops and it's TV Premiere Month! I admit...

One of the things I've come to realize, is that no matter how old we live to be, we still all have some sort of insecurity.  I don't think I remember a time in my life when there wasn't something I struggled with....as a kid, it was likeability,...

Actually, truth be told, we’re all up in there with being tacky...but tackiness is as tacky does, as The Ancient One is want to say.  I’m still not sure what that means, but I think she was trying to tell us that there actually ARE...

Hi Everyone, Mother’s Day is celebrated in the United States on the second Sunday in May. In 2008, Mother’s Day will fall on Sunday, May 11. Our friends want really cool, really interesting gifts, that Mom can truly enjoy. Come to...

This is the time of year when many of us take a few moments to slow down and give thanks for what we have. It's something that personally, I wish I did more often. I don't think it should take a date on a calendar to force me to take stock of my life,...

Well, here I am doing something I never dreamed I'd do. I'm joining a social network site on the internet. I'm still having a hard time understanding just what the internet is. In my day, if you couldn't feel it, touch it, or build it, it didn't exist!...

Lots of friends ask me where or how to buy wine. Where is easy. It's how that's a little tricky out there. There are tons of groceries ( Publix in FL is top), Big Box Clubs ( Costco has the best variety there), Big Retailers ( in FL there is ABC, Wine...

I didn't have my own car until after I graduated from high school in 1953.  It was either the bus or my dad's car, which was a nice new 1952 Mercury Monterey.  We moved to 54th and University during my senior year, so I used the bus a lot in...
