OMG - Almost 50
Almost 50 is about my journey during my "box-changing" year. I can't believe that I am leaving my 40's, when I still feel 25 inside. Experience the daily joys, laughter and tears as I face teenagers, college students, second husbands, friendships, aging parents, changing careers,body changes, empty nest and so much more. Join me on my journey - "Almost 50" - heck it is better than the alternative ;-)

Memorial Day Salute!
I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Memorial Day saluting the men and women who have answered our nation's highest calling, especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice! God bless them and those that mourn them!

Inviting!!!
Yesterday I learned about a wonderful vacation spot - The Beach House in Kennebunkport, Maine.




It is oceanfront and to read about it, well, it sounds delightful. I haven't been to Maine, but I have always wanted to visit. Friends who live in Portland tell me that Kennebunkport is over run with tourist. But after reading about "The Beach House" I am willing to give Kennebunkport a try! You can read about it at

I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend!

A Few Of My Favorite Things!
These are a few of my favorite things on this holiday weekend!
I love our local Memorial Day Parade. We can't honor our troops enough! I have such fine memories of attending this parade with my family. I know my Dad (WWII Vet) is watching with me from Heaven!

Of course we will have a cook-out unless is really reaches 100 degrees - ugh!

With the heat soaring, I love this Kolby dress from Lilly Pulitzer!

Of course, as you know, I LOVE my platinum Jack Rogers! So perfect with every outfit!

Favorite Place to be - The Beach....I won't be there this holiday, but I hope to soon!

Happy Friday and I hope you enjoy a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

Summer Is Almost Here!
Only three more days of work (part time) with our local school district. I am soooo excited for summer this year. One reason is that I can start my Water Aerobics Class again. I love that class. It makes me feel so young and energetic. I love the water and then to mix in a incredibly fun form of exercise - well it is just wonderful! Have you tried water aerobics? If so, do you love it too!

Happy Thursday!!!
Happy Thursday!!!

Drink For Summer Entertaining
I am always looking for something a little different to serve when we have guests over. Well this past weekend I think I have found a new summer drink to serve. It is a Hypno Martini. I haven't been a big martini fan, honestly, I prefer more "foo foo" drinks. But this new drink was awesome. It was sweet, it was a pretty shade of blue and easy to mix. Here it is, see if you like it too!

This is the recipe -
