Although I'm no longer in the Rave Reviews Book Club (RRBC) 30-day blog challenge (it ended on March 30), I would like to take a moment to toast the four people who joined me in that challenge--Pat Garcia, Joy Lilley (who both live in Europe), Nonnie Jules (RRBC's...

A Day in My Life, March 30, 2024 — The Final Day of the RRBC 30-Day Blog Challenge
Today may be the last day of the Rave Reviews Book Club 30-Day Blog Challenge, but there's no way that I will stop blogging. I have had way too much fun over the last month to quit here. I've been able to swap stories with four other incredible bloggers from different...
A Day in My Life, March 28, 2024 — Even a Gray Day
It's a gray, overcast day here. I started out the morning by playing doubles tennis for an hour and a half, then heading out to see my old friend, the dermatologist (I swear, I've been putting her daughter through medical school with my white Irish skin). I sent out a...
A Day in My Life, March 18, 2024 — Monday, Monday
The Mamas and Papas had a song called "Monday, Monday" in the 1970s. One of the lines was "Monday, Monday, can't trust that day..." Lots of things happen on Mondays, though. Today, I am supposed to rehearsefor a singing engagement NEXT Monday, when my good friend...
A Day in My Life, March 9, 2024 — Remembering Claire Milmore MacDonald
I can't let today go by without remembering Claire Milmore MacDonald. Today would have been her seventy-fifth birthday. She passed away in November from pancreatic cancer--a disease she valiantly fought for more than two years. We first met when we were in the choir...
A Day in My Life, March 6, 2024 – National Oreo Cookie Day
It's a good thing it's National Oreo Cookie Day. I need a cookie. Maybe a dozen. This morning, my son and his wife called me to say they need financial help because their septic tank is backing up into their house. Gross. Horrible. They need our help. They both work...

It’s a novel about baseball–and life.
Three strangers met by chance in 1972 with one thing in common: baseball. They want to become major league baseball players.

A Day in the Life, 2024 Edition: Happy “National Write a Letter Appreciation Week”
I'm in my eighth decade of life, and I've come to realize that there's a week or a day to commemorate just about everything. When I worked in a long-term care association, there was Nursing Home and Nurse's Month in May. As a folk music DJ, I'm happy that we still...
Saying Goodbye
We met in the fourth grade at a choir rehearsal at St. Jerome's Church in North Weymouth, Massachusetts. We went to our first Newport Folk Festival in 1966. We had just graduated from high school earlier that summer. We had to beg our parents to let us go. We slept in...
