funny, right?

The third week in February was a great week.  Nearly my entire family (sister, brother, kids, in-laws, grandkids, nieces, etc.) converged on Redington Beach from New York, Denver, Orlando, Austin and Jacksonville.  So fun, so many memories, so many laughs. My sister Jane and I got to catch up on our kids' lives, our current... Continue Reading →

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.
