My Blog Circle:

I grew up in Michigan and met my husband when we both were working at Michigan State University in East Lansing.  We lived for fourteen years in Traverse City, Michigan and moved to Florida in 1981 with our two sons and a daughter.  My dear husband died in 2003 and I have learned to live without him, but still miss him.  I have worked for a law firm in Orlando since 1982 and have in the past year begun to cut my hours and am blessed to be able to work primarily from home.  I have four grandsons and one granddaughter all who live close enough to see regularly.  I have two dogs and two cats - so my house is often noisy, sometimes messy, and always comfortable and welcoming.

Where’s the love?

Posted in Guitar Grandma, news on May 23, 2010

Yesterday, I received another email oozing hatefulness against our President . . . I'm deeply disturbed by this type of message which exhibits a complete lack of even elemental respect for the Office of the President of the United States of America.

Ah, spring

Posted in Guitar Grandma, home & garden on May 18, 2010

Is it just me, or is there something in the air at this time of year that causes the adrenaline to flow and energy to spike fueling a sudden urge to sweep, dust, scrub, launder, paint, rearrange furniture, reorganize drawers, and otherwise become completely obsessed with making all things new again?
