We’re Not Too Far Gone
To say that our family has a flair for the dramatic is an understatement. Halloween allows us the opportunity to indulge our theatrical side. Costumes, make up and attitude conjures up good spirits.

Once In A Blue Moon
A trip to Long Island in the summer is as frequent an event for us as the appearance of the Blue Moon. Out on the southern shore is a bed and breakfast (lunch & dinner also) that we love to frequent. A weekend jaunt to smell the salt air, frolic in the sea breezes and … Continue reading

As we left the theater the barricades were just starting … Continue reading
