The Trail Less Taken
Usually when I'm asked the question, "if everyone else was jumping of a bridge would you just go ahead and follow them?", I answer yeah, probably, I'm mean maybe it's a good idea. On Amazon I usually go with the "Best
SPF 1500: You Are Protected, But You're Not Safe
Dear Blog Readers, I am so happy to announce that my debut mystery, SPF 1500: You Are Protected, But You're Not Safe, is out in print and available through Amazon in paperback or e-book (Kindle, your phone, tablet, laptop). In this blog issue I will give you a
Mysteries
The guess work; putting the puzzle pieces together; the anticipation; thinking you've got it right, only to find out you were wrong. Mysteries make you think. I can feel the elastic in my brain stretching, and then stretching some more, until the rubber snaps and goes flying off
On the street where I live
My Fair Lady was/is one of my favorite musicals (only to be recently replaced by Hamilton...omg). I think My Fair Lady was one of my mother's very few trips to NYC to see the musical with my father. So, yes, I grew up on the dashing
40 Years!
Wow, so my college roommate and sorority sister, Angie, recently reminded me that this is our 40th college reunion year...holy crap! As our sorority president, Angie was always good at organizing and reminding us of these things, like graduations and such. So we got together for lunch and had
On Walking
I love to walk. When I was working out of town (a lot!) I would call Craig after a hectic day and he would often say to me "after you go for your walk, you'll feel better"; and he was absolutely right. I'm not
Seriously-Super-Salads!!!
Yay! My cookbook, Seriously-Super-Salads! A Delightful Salad Adventure Awaits!, is out through the Blub On-line Book Store: Order Salads are healthy and versatile.

Lake George: Sister's Retreat '24!!!!
Carie, Kiki, Gigi and I had our Sister's Retreat at a lovely Airbnb on Lake George, NY, just south of the Adirondacks. We found out that Lake George is one of the clearest, cleanest lakes in the world, and a really fun place for a fantastic week together!
Returning
Craig and I got back from Scotland three weeks ago. Kiki asked me if I had culture shock, which I didn't expect, thinking that our countries were so similar, but I did (am) experiencing some culture shock, and hmm, there are so many more differences between the US
Friends and Family
Kamala Harris is being called "the candidate of joy". She must know my friends and family...pure joy!!! And I am blessed... The middle of August, Craig's brother, Bret, and his wife, Lisa, visited us in Edinburgh. We had a lot of fun. Besides giving them
The Edinburgh Book Festival
The Book Festival is among the many festivals in Edinburgh during the month of August. Interestingly, (if not ironic - but not in the Alanis Morissette sense, that's just coincidence!!), this post, where I convened with writers, may be my shortest post. However, what I learned, was just
Isle of Skye
It's overwhelming. Beaches, waterfalls, sea stacks, volcanic formations, mountains, lochs, glens, streams and rivers, quaint sea side towns...oh, and, sheep (we'll get to that). In other words, the Isle of Skye is beautiful and varied and an amazing, amazing hiking experience. Plus, I've
