I caught an interview that was part of a media promotion for a new sitcom. The title horrified me and made my hair explode: I Hate My Teenage Daugher. Before I even have the opportunity to view an episode (it’ll premier November 30th on Fox) I really don’t want it […]

Over the Highways and Through the Traffic
0 commentsMy handsome half and I are anticipating the arrival later this week of all 3 of our grown children. The wonderful thing about their “coming home” is that we didn’t have to beg, plead or cajole as they each just let us know that they were planning to spend Thanksgiving […]
"The Help's" Pumpkin Pie
0 commentsIn anticipation of Thanksgiving, I thought I’d share with you my favorite pumpkin pie recipe. A friend of mine from New Orleans – Carol McCall – shared it with me. It was her housekeeper’s recipe and I’ve never seen another recipe like it for pumpkin pie. I wish that I […]
I Had to Wait 2 Months to Calm Down Over This One
0 commentsSo, it’s O.K. to divorce your spouse and “start all over again” with another relationship if said spouse develops Alzheimers – just “make sure she has custodial care.” At least behaving in such a callous, heartless way is o.k. according to 700 Club televangelist Pat Robertson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsaqfP87Z58 But, why stop […]

Thankfulness: One of the BEST Relationship Builders
0 commentsI’ve often been accused of being a “Pollyanna.” If you don’t know what that means, it is someone who always tries to see the good in any situation – even bad or challenging ones. I learned to think like this because of the influence of one of my favorite childhood […]
Not-Your-Usual-Pie-Crust-Recipe

If She Looks Like, Walks Like, She Must Be a…….
0 commentsI’m one of those rare people who actually believes that you can learn from people of ALL ages. And, recently I was engaged in a discussion with a twenty-something young woman who is into fashion, current trends, etc. Our discussion centered on the inappropriate dress (o.k., let’s just call it […]
