Happy Birthday to Me!
I celebrated my 59th birthday in May. It’s been a fast two months as I meant to write this post on my birthday. Better late than never, right? This birthday was a bit tough for me. 59 seems so…whats the word? The end of an era? I’m not sure…I just know that I did my best to “Embrace 58” and 59….well….I’m struggling. Since I was the only one at my pity party, I thought I better straighten myself up and learn to “Embrace 59.” That doesn’t sound as catchy as the 58, but, I couldn’t think of anything…
A Breath of Fresh Air
Is anyone a wee bit discouraged by what we are seeing in our culture? Maybe it’s just me, I’m not sure, but there is some crazy stuff going on. Things such as: *Language that would curl your toes (as my mom would say) *Clothing on young ladies and their mamas that leaves nothing to the imagination, if you know what I mean. *Clothing on young men and their dad’s that make you wander if there is any hope for our future. *Movies that portray anything but good. *Television programs that you wouldn’t dare leave on while children are in…

We have all traveled together and you couldn’t find better travel companions than these two. They have been living there for work for several months and they showed us some beautiful places. Have I told you that our son is an animator? Of course I have! He is working on a major animated movie and it will be out soon. Trust me, I will let you know when it’s out. It’s…
Let’s Talk About Fashion
Do you love fashion? Maybe you don’t love it so much… but, you do like to look nice and stay up to date the best you can. I thought it would be fun to talk a bit about fashion over the next few weeks. Trust me, I know I’m not an expert by any means, but, I do love it. If you haven’t heard it before, here is my tiny story about me and the fashion world! I’m sure you know my story….growing up we were extremely poor. I guess poor is a good word. My mom raised three kiddos…
