At The Gate

  On our way to Massachusetts and back we had connecting flights. We had a LOT of time to spend in the airport. I love to watch people. Seriously. My husband has to get my attention because I will be STARING at people so captivated by what is going on and I have...

Are You?

(originally posted January 25, 2009) Has there ever been a word that people have called you and you don't know how to embrace it?  A beautiful word?  A word that has so much meaning to you?  I come from a family of painters, dancers,...

I Would Like You To Meet Inga!

(Originally posted on February 18, 2009) Inga may be a little Swedish.   She may also have a little accent.  It wouldn't be surprising if she wears a French maid outift when others are not looking.  Inga doesn't eat that much….she has...

Tomorrow Is Another Day

I grew up with a mother that loved old movies. Saturdays would always include my mom ironing and watching old movies. She was also known to bribe us to go to the drug store to get her a hershey bar with almonds. Did your mom iron all your clothes? My mom did! My dad...

My Best of the Best Part II

Naked Man And His Kite

My husband loves to take the kids to the park and fly kites with them. Isn't it nice that we all have different interests because I would probably never do this with them. It is just not my thing. I do lots of things with them that Kelly wouldn't consider...
