One of the earliest memories I have of my parents revolves around music. They loved Neil Sedaka, The Platters, The Beatles, Elvis. I remember them dancing at parties, lighter the second the music started. My dad played guitar and he sang, my mom never really had a singing voice, but she was a great dancer … Continue reading Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles!

Back to normal …
Today feels like the real wrap up of summer here, and it’s one of those changes you can actually see and hear.

Not because I remember the final bill (I absolutely don’t), but because I’ll never forget how it felt and I wanted to sit … Continue reading The Most Expensive Meal I’ve Ever Had — And Why I’d Do It Again
These shoes weren’t meant for walking … apparently.
Some things you keep wearing long after they’ve stopped fitting the world’s idea of what’s “appropriate.” For me, it’s a pair of flip-flops. I fell again today. Same pair of flip-flops, same week, same downward momentum. I’ve always been a jeans-and-t-shirt-and-flip-flops kind of gal. I’ve built my life around comfort. Back when I was working … Continue reading These shoes weren’t meant for walking … apparently.
