I think it’s a fair statement to say the older you get the harder it is to make new friends. I feel I have become more introverted as I’ve aged. It also seems there are just less friend-making opportunities. So, imagine my delight (and nervousness)...
I don’t think a lot about death. Good, right? However, it has been top-of-mind the last several days. Thank goodness, I have not lost anyone close to me. So, what has me dwelling on it? The death of actor Leslie Jordan. From Murphy Brown to Will and...

My daughter recently went away to school. It has been a big adjustment for us all. I miss her dearly. She has been better at calling and texting than I expected, but it’s never enough. I just miss her face. Needless to say, I was very happy for...
There are two things we don’t deserve in this world: Dogs and Dolly Parton. Both are full of love, kindness and a giving spirit. Since I don’t know Dolly personally, I will focus on dogs. I have had dogs pretty much my whole life. We got our first...

I don’t like driving at night. Yes, I realize that makes me sound like someone’s Nana, but it’s true. Will I drive at night? If I have to, but I generally try to avoid it. Night vision has always been something of a problem for me. When I first got...
