MULTI-TASKING?

It has come to my attention that I no longer possess the ability to multi-task.  Gone are the days when I could sew up to 50 costumes in a week, write a play or two, teach a class, plan meals … Continue reading

TIME FOR ANOTHER GARAGE SALE

BACKYARD THEATER

HAPPY SENIOR CITIZENS DAY

MY PRAYER WARRIOR

TALES FROM THE DARK SIDE

If only life were like a box of chocolates, but alas, I’ve been restricted – mostly self-inflicted – to a life of leafy greens, high protein and a lack of sugar.  I’m not complaining, it’s just tough for an old … Continue reading

QUIT YOUR BELLY ACHING

TRANSITIONS
