Here are a few photos from Easter lunch.  We got a good shot of my husband Rod and me. And one of my adorable grand-nephew Kolby showing how he can "make eyes at me".

This weekend was the one year anniversary of my step-mom losing her long and valiant battle with leukemia.  I miss her … we all miss her.   I am grateful for the donor who gave her more time with us and for all of our friends that helped sustain her (and us) through her fight.  In … Read more

Look at the adorable picture that arrived in my in-box yesterday.  It’s my niece Mehilah (aka MiMi) wearing what was once her dad’s snowsuit (I love those Hello Kitty socks peeking out of the legs) and enjoying a rare Tennessee snow.  What a ham.

As I drove home from the gym this morning, the maple trees in my front yard were so beautiful in the sunlight.  It is the perfect fall morning … crisp air, cool temperatures and bright sunshine.  I love fall … something about it makes me feel more alive. The three hard maple trees lined up … Read more
