A New State, Home, and Lifestyle

I am back blogging again, but I am no longer living in western New York. This is our house in Southport, North Carolina. We love our new house, neighbors, and community. Almost every day is sunny and warm, no drive-way to shovel. For the last decade we have been visiting Southport and Oak Island during the winter. So we knew what we were getting ourselves into.

I AM BACK!

Invite me to your school, and we will all have a good time.

Book at Number 3 at Booklocker.com!

Book at Number 3 at Booklocker.com! So I decided to celebrate by wearing a silly hate. (Of course, I had some encouragement from one of my grandkids. His name is Ricky, but he will remain nameless here. LOL.) Celebrating by wearing a wild hat is less calories than drinking sparkling grape juice.
