when did THIS happen?

Seriously.  You might not believe this, but up until a month or two ago, I was anti-social on social media!  Sure I had a Facebook presence, but only to stay connected to kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, siblings.  In fact, shockingly, I wasn't even 'friends' with Richie Coldcuts.  It's true. So what changed?  Well, I've always been a... Continue Reading →

do you snore?

I've been told that I do.  But only by Richie Coldcuts.  And he can be so devilish that he may have just said that to bug me.  It's decidedly un-feminine.  Another one of those things that if a guy does it, it just makes him manly, but if a woman does it, you think 'woof'!... Continue Reading →

women’s wednesdays

I have written about a lot of the important aspects of my life: hubby, hobbies, kids, grandkids, interests, lifestyle.  Now it's time to acknowledge my age/gender demographic and share some thoughts and habits around that.  I'm reserving Wednesdays for my fellow sisterhood.  So all you men out there, who have been relating to my posts...

living the high life

Bet this title has you wondering, no?  Well in this case, high refers to high-rise, as in the tall building we live in.  I grew up in suburbia; it was all I knew.  I married and raised children in a nondescript suburb nestled among cul-de-sacs, school zones, bike paths and trails.  I actually felt sorry...

livin’ in the ‘burg

At risk of getting some heat from friends, I want to share how great St. Petersburg is (we're not supposed to share the secret and draw too many folks here!).  Referred to as the 'burg by locals, it is a BIG small town.  Thriving, vibrant, on the water, young people, active people, dog-lovers, tons of...
