Last Fall my husband and I went to an indoor farmer's market. It's a well-known one in Pawtucket, Rhode Island at the … Continue reading A Story of Strings
World Menopause Day…Really?!
Yesterday I wrote about a visit with my doctor. One of the biggest take-a-ways from the appointment, as I mentioned, was his declaration of why I'm not feeling like myself: "You're without a thyroid and you have likely entered menopause." He declared it with a smile on his face and so matter-of-factly, that I had … Continue reading World Menopause Day…Really?!
What’s Up Doc?!
I've thanked my endocrinologist before, but feel the need to do it again! I meet with him every four months since my complete thyroidectomy in 2011, and will probably continue to see him with great regularity for the rest of my life. Typically, I've been a compliant patient, answering the doc's questions but never really … Continue reading What’s Up Doc?!

First off is my … Continue reading Sisters (in-law) by Chance, Family Forever

All The Single Ladies
When I was single, I never really liked the idea of Valentine's Day. I did find ways to make it fun most of the time. In my 20's I was teaching, so I'd make treats for the kids in my classroom. In my 30's, my sister Judy and I (both single at the time) would … Continue reading All The Single Ladies
