What a find! Not only does Evansville have a beautiful lake, with a lovely park and pool, it has its own pair of bald eagles nesting right in sight! While I was there this particular morning, a kind fellow with a powerful telescope let me have a look-see at the one eagle sitting on the […]

Let me say that once again my son, Gregg, has found another fantastic place to have a great meal. Italian food is my favorite so he and his gal, Tara, took me to Osteria Papavero to celebrate. It’s not very big and it is not at all formal. Everything was written on the black board […]

As a writer, I am always mystified by words. I always want to know how they came about and why they stay around. These are my newest fascination–groups of things named differently and not in a way I would think. I’ll list them to show you what I mean: A herd of elephants. A flock […]

Did you realize that happiness is an achievement? It’s true and I learned it on my tea tag yesterday. I’ve been drinking Yogi tea almost every day for months now because green tea is so good for you. Berry DeTox is my favorite, I don’t have to add anything to be able to drink it! […]
