…means I can’t always get my hands on the computer.  There is a new normal in our house and it’s called Sean.  If you are  wondering why I am not writing my blog as much, or not calling or seeing my friends as often, it is because of his recent retirement.  Actually he will be going back […]

…but something even better, Polo in The Villages.  Polo is a seasonal phenomena, much like snowbirds the players travel from all over the country and even the world to participate in our spring and fall seasons.  The Polo Club recently celebrated their 15th Year Anniversary calling it their best year ever!  They had more teams […]

…looks like this.   A few weeks ago I received a card in the mail wishing me a Happy Birthday and a gift of a free oil change.  I had to make the appointment the month of my birthday, so I did.  April 30th I drove into Jenkins Hyundai in Leesburg to get my gift, and […]

…atrocious, which means extremely bad, which it is when your A key falls off.  When it first happened I was able to snap it back on and go on about my business, then it happened again and again and became really annoying.  I then started typing without it, as I am doing right now, and […]

 …Special Speakers Series recently presented The Three Mrs. Flaglers, who were the three wives of Henry Flagler, the Industrialist who developed Florida.  His story is quite fascinating and it has been said that no other individual has had a greater or more lasting impact on a State than he has had on Florida through the building […]

…Wedding…of a perfect couple…on a perfect day…in beautiful Charlottesville, Va.  My neice Mairi and her husband Leigh were united in marriage last Saturday at the Fat Cat Farm, located in the rolling countryside at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains   Although it had rained for a few days leading up to the wedding, the sun came out […]

…Winner, Gilbert King was an honored guest and speaker at our Bookworm Book Club meeting yesterday at the Bacall Rec. Center.  What a wonderful opportunity it was to meet him less than 24 hours after finding out he had won this coveted award.  His humble excitement really lit up the room, and you would have […]

…but not so early this time.  Have to be in Orlando by 5:00pm to pick up my sister, who is arriving from San Francisco.  I haven’t seen her in a year, so am looking forward to the reunion.  We will continue south to my other sister’s home in Vero Beach, where we will spend time […]
