Words Of Achievement: When Words Get Added To The Dictionary
And this year’s inductees to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary are…. Okay, so maybe there isn’t an award show or any pomp and circumstance, but when a new repertoire of words like Pumpkin Spice, Shrinkflation and Adorkable, joins the hallowed pages of our national dictionary, it’s kind of a big deal, in my book anyway. Recently, I read an article highlighting some of … Continue reading Words Of Achievement: When Words Get Added To The Dictionary
I’ll Have A Little Less Holiday Cheer, Please
Looking around the garage last week, hot off of hosting July 4th festivities and looking for a spot to put the extra-large garbage bag full of red, white and blue decorations, my heart sank.

His passport was stamped for such far flung places as … Continue reading International Travel–Post COVID
All The Colors Of The Seasons
“Wipe your makeup off.” My sister instructed, handing me a wet towelette. “Excuse me?” I asked, thinking I had heard wrong. If she thought I had overdone the mascara or applied too much lipstick, she could have been a little more kind. Before I had a chance to unceremoniously scrape my face clean, she thrust … Continue reading All The Colors Of The Seasons
Wedding Trivia: How It All Began
A few days from now, my husband and I will celebrate thirty-five years of marriage to one another. Add to that another four plus years of dating, and I will have been exclusively partnered to the same person for more than half my life. What a mind-blowing thought. I wonder if the recently deceased Queen … Continue reading Wedding Trivia: How It All Began
