Whirlwind Syracuse Media Tour

Sitting at the cafe at the Fayetteville Wegman’s reflecting on what a whirlwind yesterday turned out to be!

My Dad walked in just as we were about to start and … Continue Reading

In the Blink of an Eye…

I blinked… and summer was over. The kids are now back in school. It isn’t until they’re actually back in school that I realize I haven’t formed a complete thought in about 2 ½ months!  I kind of wondered if I’d ever find my writing voice again.  It bopped in for a few fleeting moments … Continue Reading
