Vicki Batman – Gray Days-Not so great, except when they are
To me, gray days mean no sun, an expectation of fog, or drizzle, or pouring rain.
The Blessings of a Snow Day
The days have moved past the holidays and on to winter weather and better news for our health. And then last week…SNOW! Snow doesn’t come often where I live. So, when the weathercasters began predicting snow, everything became more alive and exciting. Two days till Snow Day. One day till Snow Day. The morning of…

Baby Boomers Rejoice the birth of Seasoned Romance!
I was born at the tail end of the baby boom. I grew up in the sixties to: the tune of the best music; girls finally being allowed to wear pants at school; and slightly less expectation that we make one of only three choices for our future–become a teacher, become a nurse, or…
