What I Wish I Knew Before I Retired
I need to apologize in advance. I strive not to be publicly critical of others. The hitch is that I promised to write this book review. As it turns out, the book in question is not one that I loved. This past January, Leslie Roberts (Once Upon a Time & Happily Ever After) offered an …

This morning, I picked up my copy of Hug Everyone You Know by Antoinette Truglio Martin. I follow Martin's blog, Stories Served Around the Table, and greatly enjoy her writing style. I figured I would read a few chapters each week, but...from the initial pages onward, I couldn't put the book down. I finished the …
Thank you to Hugh Roberts for featuring my blogging question about the Gutenberg Editor. He has given me just the push I need to give it a try. Have you used the new editor on Word Press? If so, do you agree with Hugh?
Thank you to Donna Connolly, who blogs at Retirement Reflections, for asking me a question about blogging after reading my recent blog post ‘Do You Have A Question About Blogging…’
Here’s Donna’s question in full.
Yes, I’m using the Gutenberg editor, Donna. I’ve written this post using it.
I’ve read more blog posts complaining about the new Gutenberg Editor than those that give it any praise or credit. I found that to be of great shame, given some of the circumstances surrounding the reviews it’s been getting.

We've just returned home from Mazatlán, Mexico. Even though we consider ourselves to be (fairly) health-conscious and we (usually) eat and drink in moderation, all-inclusive resorts have a way of messing with any well-intended eating plan. Here's a sample of some of our meals and refreshments from the past week. Good thing we packed the …
Our visit to Mazatlán, Mexico has been relaxing, rejuvenating and thought-provoking. This trip came with many bonuses, including providing me with rich material to participate in #ThursdayDoors. Here is a small sample of the endless variety of eye-catching entranceways we passed during our daily wanderings. The architecture in Mazatlán’s historic district (Centro Historico) displays a …
In a recent bear attack, an eye, a nose, and part of a mouth were lost in the battle. The poor old bear didn’t stand a chance. Against the nine-month-old, ready-for-action, Labradoodle….who in her defense, was only doing her thing. Sadly, we feared it might be the end of the 71-year old bear, Richard’s first …
