My husband, Bobby, and I have been married for 25 years! I know, it's hard to believe that it could be that long since we look so young, but it has. I had thought that on our anniversary, we would be able to spend the day together... alone...away from the house and computers. However, due to circumstances, we couldn't take the day off. Instead we decided that we would celebrate by enjoying a night out on the town. My initial thought was that we would go to CW Burgerstein, in the basement of … [Read more...]
Meeting the Music Man Again
I met The Music Man as a child on cable TV and HBO. I watched the movie over and over fully enamoured by Robert Preston's portrayal of Professor Harold Hill. I memorized the songs and my sister, Randi, memorized the choreography. We discovered that our dad had the vinyl album of the original soundtrack from the movie and we listened to it frequently (even recording it on a cassette tape). Over the years I have met The Music Man in various settings from high school auditoriums to college … [Read more...]
Some Enchanted Evening at Landoll’s Mohican Castle
There is just something romantic about a castle. I thrill at the thought of visiting one in Europe some day. But I found that I don't need to go so far to be swept away.

They have decorated each building with lights and piped in Christmas music to put everyone in the holiday spirit. I found out about the event through … [Read more...]
Dad’s Birthday Movie Marathon 2018
TRADITION! TRADITION! Can't you hear Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof shout it? I can. So why do I bring it up? Well, in my family, we like our traditions, especially our birthday traditions. And maybe one of my favorites is spending the day at the movies for my dad's birthday. This year was no different, although we did go a week early. (Maybe he is going to start a new tradition of celebrating for a week, like someone else we know.) Dad's one condition was that he wanted to see Ant-Man and The … [Read more...]
Wendi’s 50th Birthday Bash was … Legendary!
I have been celebrating my birthday for a week for almost 30 years. I started it because my birthday was never as great as I built it up in my mind. However, when Bobby, my husband, came into my life, he took the celebrating up another notch. He has done so many amazing things for my birthday, I wondered how he would top them when the Big 5-0 came around. I shouldn't have worried, because the week has only just begun and it has been amazing so far! Bobby decided to throw a birthday party … [Read more...]
