Romance
As true as mine
There’s a song I love, from a little movie that warms me, sung by a Texas Country Boy named George Strait. George is clean cut, mannerly, and married to his high-school sweetheart. A country music legend, he possesses a kind of self-assurance and ruggedness that fails to threaten most men; the same charisma makes many [...]

“Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got.” ~Sophia Loren. Date Night’s here again! I’ve written often on the significance of date night and how they affect what’s in my relationship basket. Next month, Hubbs and I celebrate 20 years of marriage. We’ve had our ups and [...]
Birthday cakes & peanut butter
“Romance novels are birthday cake and life is often peanut butter and jelly. I think everyone should have lots of delicious romance novels lying around for those times when the peanut butter of life gets stuck to the roof of your mouth.” ― Janet Evanovich That quote speaks to me, not because I’m an avid [...]
Adventures of Wonder Boy and Phlegm girl
Since summer we’ve worked for it. Throughout fall, we’ve talked about it: Christmas Vacation. That glorious week off buffered by two federal holidays – yippee skippidy-yi-yay. Time to rest, time to play, time to dine, time to just be together. And then it happened again. I. Got. Sick. The day before Christmas. All our plans [...]
The Kiss
Going through some old photos with Mom earlier this fall, we came across one that stopped me in my tracks. Featured was a young couple, obviously happy to see each other, locked in a passionate embrace. It’s a photo so intimate that I feel a bit voyeuristic just looking at it. You see, I knew [...]

Welcome to Canada, eh?
Dear HRH William and Catherine: Welcome to Canada, eh! The young Royals… the handsome Prince and his beautiful bride, arrive in Canada today! ( for details on the Royal tour, click here ). I’m Canadian, born & raised and while I also have my American citizenship (yay!), there’s still part of me that remains intrinsically [...]
On Passion
Passion is defined as having a “powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, such as love or hate” about a given topic. We all know someone who’s passionate about their sports team, fitness, travel or even gardening. Most I know care deeply for loved ones, homes and pets. If asked, I’d have to say the following: [...]
It’s an honor just to be nominated!
But .. turns out, I won an award – How fun!! I was presented with the “Versatile Blogger Award” (pictured above) by Georgette at http://georgettesullins.wordpress.com/ From what I can tell, this award is a way to give some virtual “shout-outs” to other bloggers you follow and whom others might not yet have discovered. I’m flattered [...]
So, did you watch?
Over the past few days, I heard one question every place that I went (out with friends, to the grocery store, dentist and doctor’s office): So, did you watch? The Royal Wedding of course! Did I watch? I rolled in every single bit of the Royal Wedding coverage that I could! Like with Diana and Charles’ wedding [...]
