BE POSITIVE BUT BE REAL…how an introvert and a boomer views the world
Everyone who knows me steers clear of me when I have to go back to work after a vacation. I warn my husband and he just laughs because he knows the drill by heart. I love my time off from work. Putting it mildly, I can be a bitch at this time. Maybe that’s because […]
Read MoreLabor Day was always one of those holidays that many of us associated with school. Back in the day, the majority of kids started school the day after Labor Day.

Read MoreIn honor of the Olympics going on now, it’s only fitting to write about a winner. The inspiration for this blog today is my husband. He has made me a winner in so many ways. We have been together for 34 years now, married 32. He came along at a time when I was exiting […]
Read MoreI must admit that I am not one to be up on new fads when they first come out. Painting Parties was one that I didn’t have a clue about. My manager at work is in this team building mode, for better morale in our department. So the last event was bowling. I skipped on […]
