There are two trips left on my bucket list and they are a Mediterranean cruise and a trip to see the Northern Lights. I would like to do the Mediterranean cruise because the only part of Italy I’ve experienced is Venice, and I want to see more of where my grandparents were from. And if…

I don’t remember liking any book as much as I did Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. I was reminded of it a few days ago while visiting Epcot’s Canada Showcase. There, in the Kidcot, they had a copy of the book and a trivia question about it. Then, all of the memories…

William Shakespeare once wrote, “No legacy is so rich as honesty,” and he was right. I’ve tried to teach my kids and grandkids to be honest, and take responsibility for their actions as I’ve tried to do. Oh, I’m not talking about the little half-truths we tell so as not to hurt someone’s feelings. I’m…

I’m good at writing. I should be; I’ve been doing it for most of my life. It started out as stories to keep my nieces and nephews entertained. Then, in middle school, I had a teacher who allowed me to be as creative as I wanted to be. I understand from my poor younger siblings…

The last performance I saw was ZZ Top. My daughter got my husband and I tickets for my birthday, and I was so excited to see them again. The last time I’d seen them was in 1979, and I missed the whole warm-up band because they’d just instituted the rule against glass containers at the…

I have been a coffee drinker since I was youngish, but now I have to drink decaf. Believe me, it is hard to find a good decaffeinated coffee. However, my favorite brand is Dunkin Donuts. It’s so good, I forget it’s decaf. Oh, and what coffee is good without creamer? Well, it is, actually, but…

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? “This, above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” What a profound quote and one I paraphrase when giving advice to my kiddos and their kiddos…

Prompt: Reveal a superpower you’d love to have and what you’d do with it. I am a sucker for historical fiction. Not because I want to find my soulmate from another era. I have found my soulmate, thank you very much. No, I would just like to experience what it would be like during some…
