A friend suggested that I investigate one of the senior dating sites. I gave her the fish eye, since I had dated a nice gentleman from the thrift shop where I volunteered, and while he was very eligible, he wanted hugs and after the second date, he wanted to hold...

I have a very dear and talented stepson! He has probably been an entrepreneur since he was about eight years old. He retired from the Navy as a Captain (actually a Commodore) and has been involved in a company restoring Navy ships. At present he is the administrator...

Dixie, the lady I did my first poetry book with, who is a painter par excellence, suggested one day a year or so ago, that we gather for a day at a place in the outskirts of El Cajon, called Summer’s Past Farms. She would paint, I would read poetry, and someone would...

In December of 2019, a friend invited me to their women’s Christmas tea and I loved the feeling in her church. They had a choir first service, which was traditional, and the second service was more contemporary. I loved that the pastor’s emphasis was on Christ each...

When my agent mentioned that because I don’t have a “platform” anymore (read not doing speaking engagements) he suggested I start a podcast. Now mind you, I’m really electronically challenged, and what it takes the average young person five minutes to do, I slaved...
