Nowadays, it’s tough to know what to call my younger daughter when I talk about her. I’ve called her Katie or Kate her whole life, and she went by her full name of Kathleen for a couple of years, but people who’ve met her recently know her by Kat. Please understand if the names we…

If you are up for a field trip – and for discovering where Joliet is – I invite you to join us! I always meet wonderful people there (I met Luanne & Kris…
DetailsHard to believe that 3 short weeks ago I was on a gigantic cruise liner, having a life-changing experience – which I thought was going to be My Once In A Lifetime Experience. I am still stunned to report that I was UNANIMOUSLY outvoted. Everyone had such a refreshing, relaxing, and rejuvenating time that they…

Happy Thanksgiving to us all…because Thanksgiving is the OFFICIAL day to say thanks, and I’m saying it this February day. Last night was a toughie for me; I was pretty upset.

DetailsI just had the most incredible week of my LIFE! 40 of us spent the last eight days together on the Dance With Janet Cruise – and what a week it was!! We vacationed and danced our way through the Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world (with a complement of…
DetailsIt’s time to sign off for a good ten days or so! The Dance With Janet Cruise has finally arrived, after months of waiting and planning, and thinking it would never get here! About 40 of us leave tomorrow to re-assemble in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (and go dancing at the local country bar, ROUNDUP!!) in preparation for sailing on…

DetailsSo you wanna boogie, do you? Donning the right pair of shoes will definitely help make your night out unforgettable. If you’ve been dancing for any length of time, I’m sure you’ve noticed that street shoes do not good dancing shoes make. Tennis shoes tend to stick to the floor and a rotation on the…
