Dinosaurs and Strawberry Pie
As a kid I was fascinated by the construction of Dinny the Dinosaur, a 150-ton building shaped like a larger-than-life-sized Apatosaurus. It took creator Claude Bell 11 years to build Dinny! Our family’s out-of-town trips weren’t very frequent so I was able to see biannual snapshots of the progress of Dinny’s construction. A second dinosaur, […]
Chick Lit and Peek-A-Boo Heels
Like Romantic Comedy movies, Chick Lit books are often treated like red-headed stepchildren (no offense to my ginger haired followers!). Serious readers look down on the genre. And that’s okay with me. After all, different horses for different courses. And what I have to tell you is that this little pony loves a good Chick […]
The Bachelor and Yorkshire Pudding

The Big Three-O
In the movie Julie & Julia, Amy Adams’ character, Julie, explains her commitment to cooking every recipe from Julia Childs’ “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and blogging about it for a year because, as she says: “Let’s face it, I never finish anything.” Well, after my attempts at guitar, tennis, drawing, spin class and […]

The “Back 40”: Spring is in the Air
This afternoon, I took a walk out to the “Back 40” with Mr and we were so happy to see blossoms on some of our tree saplings. We had a hard frost this winter that wiped out quite a bit of our front and back lawns. So, the sight of blossoms was really quite encouraging! […]
