This week, a rambling of things on my mind for everyone to catch up on. Grab a good seat and let’s go! Happy to report I am two for two now, first in contacting former Hurst showgirl Nikki Phillips (now O’Neill) and then with car show goer Art. He’s the guy who looks like me,
Sleeping is great! I love to sleep, but my 3-year-old is not a fan — getting up bright and early every day at 6 a.m., sometimes earlier. Occasionally, she will “sleep in” until about 6:45, and there was one Saturday morning she slept until 7:15. My husband and I still talk about it. We also
The church was packed and overflowing with people — a rather unusual sight for our little country church. It was Sunday, September 11, 1988. Even JD was at church — and for JD to be at church was a big deal. But before I go any further, let me explain the backstory to this momentous

In what can be a very trying time of their lives, in which making healthy and wholesome decisions can be difficult, one local organization, Girls on the Run of the Susquehanna Valley, is aiding greatly with these challenges.

My dog has a problem and, by extension, I have a problem. Basically, he’s too high-strung and could probably benefit from psychotherapy of some sort. Don’t laugh; our vet suggested that could be arranged. I realize that small, yappy dogs are characteristically excitable and, at times, unpredictable, but Jack is ridiculously so. Anyone who has
Toothy grins and a mesmerizing orange glow help make jack-o’-lanterns captivating sights come Halloween. Pumpkin carving is an autumn tradition and runs the gamut of simple designs to more intricate artwork worthy of any medium.

Autumn has officially arrived, and I am so excited! Fall fashion is one of my favorite things, and each year I relish the chance to bust out plaids, tweeds, sweaters, and scarves as the heat and humidity give over to crisp and chilly days. Last year, all manner of blazers took center stage on the
