I’ve always thought bars were filled with people drinking themselves off their bar stools and have avoided them like the plague. But moods are contagious, and if you’re around good ones long enough, you’re bound to catch some of it. Enter, Squirrel’s Tavern, my...

I begin April 1 like any other workday, at my desk waiting for inspiration. I reach for the light and… someone’s staring back. My husband is apparently sitting quietly in the next room, waiting, because as soon as he hears laughter, a voice yells, “April...

A neighbor asked me this morning if this was my old Uncle Earl? Thank you, Joe, for starting my day off with laugh. I’m very lucky to married to a guy who laughs a lot. Bill still likes to celebrate Halloween with weirdness, and this little gem was perfect for our...

A friend recently posed this question to me “What makes you happy?” This seemed easy so I started thinking of all my favorite stuff. Twenty came to mind right off the bat. Good health for me and my family, laughter, feeling love, dancing, conversation, BBQ potato...
