Traveling across water, it seems to me to separate the world into different peoples. But when I touch down on land, I am amazed at the smiles that so often greet me.

Last night I went to Symphony Hall in Nashville for the first time since moving nearby. I love the symphony, but it is a chore to drive in Nashville, for it is growing like weeds, and the traffic is horrendous.

Diets that have been scientifically tested are also reliable. To this, I add that a diet must be affordable and attainable to all people.... Continue Reading →
The doors of these changing rooms for tourists and beach lovers at the beach near where we stayed in Alicante, Spain were too beautiful not to photograph. I meant to look inside but never remembered to do so. Oh, to have the mind of a 40 year old! The red was my favorite, although green... Continue Reading →
