Let’s say you and your husband are locked in a heated debate…the kind that can go on forever and never be resolved without professional help–a word pronunciation debate. Like how IS aioli pronounced? He giggles at you every time you order your upgraded sandwich. Don’t get down, howjsay.com is here to help. Just look up […]

I’ve “met” many people within this “cyberland” of my blog. These “cyber friends” (okay, I’ll stop with the quotes, so annoying) I get to know pretty well. One such person is “Marcy Photos” or just Marcy if you like. She is a regular reader and prolific commentator at (Emphasis Mine), which I wholeheartedly appreciate. Marcy […]

Armed with our Mapquest map, Larry and I drove across Orange County to a small restaurant on top of a hill to attend a benefit dinner. We were late, way late, and I hate being late. I pride myself on being on time, so much so, that if I am on time, in my mind, […]

It does get kind of awkward when we are all together since Gene and I dated years ago and there is still that lingering weirdness. Larry and Jill don’t like it when […]

This spring issue features an interview with Donald Trump (where we get him to come out of his shell a little), wild mushroom hunting in NorCal, a beautiful map of Solvang by Lisa Mertins, and of […]
