I just recently readopted my olive oil tree – the one I adopted in Italy over three years ago. I love the oil from Piantone di Mogliano olives! I had no idea olive oil came in so many varieties of strengths and flavors. I didn’t know that the crapola sold on most grocery store… Read More More Favorite Things 3
One of the most beautiful songs ever is the theme from the 1980 film, Somewhere in Time. Many of you may remember it – Christopher Reeves plays Richard Collier, a playwright who becomes smitten by a photograph of a young woman at the Grand Hotel. Through self-hypnosis, he travels back in time to the year 1912 to find… Read More Somewhere in Time

I’m doing 74 mph when suddenly, my car jerked as if I’d hit the brakes 2-3… Read More Cruise Control

Usually there is a game… Read More What are you doing with the rest of you life?
You know how throughout a week, things can be said, seen, heard, or happen, and then culminate into a brilliant thought at the end of the week? Yeah, me neither. But I’ll give you what I got! Alpha Hubby was bopping through channels the other night and stopped on a wrestling show. Four guys and… Read More Act Your AGE!!
