What can two gals do in 40 hours? Well we covered two States. Does that mean state of confusion, state of denial, or state of perpetual motion?Well maybe, but it was NM and Texas all in one day. 1. I did a book signing and trunk show. 2. Lunch with friends and then a 4…

traveling
I'm traveling right now. I had a presentation this morning in Alamogordo and this afternoon we drove through huge vistas to Albuquerque. The sky is so blue. Of course we are traveling at 4000 feet above sea level (that's the height our planes fly) The light is so different to home. The orange cup…
Collars and cuffs.
In the 19th and 20th centuries the collar industry of Troy NY provided the chief blue collar employment for women. These industries were dominated by female employees. The collar industry workers, at least 85 percent female, assembled, stitched, finished, washed, starched, laundered, and ironed millions of collars during the nearly century-long history of the industry….
Radio and Tea
Up in the wee hours, the air was cool and crisp and we had stunning views of the mountains as we drove to the radio station. The Guys at KPSA Alamogordo do a wonderful job advertising our event and its always fun being on air for an hour or so. We also recorded a few…
It shouldn’t be happening in this day and age.
The temperature rose to almost 100 degrees today and I was in heaven. The sky was "as blue as a sailors uniform" as my Mum would say. The birds are telling us its almost summer and the breeze curled down from the mountains and kissed the plains. I love this weather. I love the scenery,…

Back online.
The internet was so slow last night and it was impossible to do the blog. I'm sitting in the Admirals club at LAX waiting for my flight to Alamagordo in an hour or so and catching up on blog news and FB. Reflecting on the past few days, all I can say is thank you…
Share my Inspiration.
Its late and I need to retire, but I couldn't go to bed without sharing some of the images I took today. Friends Sally and Glen took me to visit the Getty Villa. I had heard it mentioned as a Ranch, but I had never done any research on it. How wrong I was. Its…
Its hard to keep grounded.
I've just watched a bright Orange sun set over LAX, its so nice to be back and settled and ready for another exciting tour. After weeks of preparation, a few heart starting hiccups and lots of work I'm back in my second home but the sad part is, I'm minus the Bambinos and Grandies. For…
A great day.
The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. She then began a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its commercialization by the…
