The Twist from a Twisted Sister!

Don't you just love Easter??? Louis C. Tiffany, of stained-glass & jewelry fame created an Easter Tree It shouts of new beginnings and great hope for beautiful things to come! I hope you are sharing it with friends and family. I thought my contribution for the the day would be some interesting factotums that you can share around the dinner table.1. Did you know the most stolen book is the Bible? I guess the thief didn't get the do not steal part!2. Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone but refused to have one in his office!3. In 2002, a tree was...

I am not an animal lover but how I got here makes perfect sense. My Mother was the youngest of 13 and grew up on a really poor farm during the Depression. Animals were work and a necessity not pets.

It's time for a Spring Tale... My grandmother had a beautiful tulip garden and we all waited for them to bloom. It was so breathtakenly beautiful. I could not wait to have my own garden. So when we bought our weekend home in Northern California the first thing I did was plant hundred of tulips. Every Spring weekend I would check on their progress. They reminded me of soldiers standing at attention. On the third weekend of April I determined that next weekend would be the Grand Opening.On Friday I just couldn't wait any longer so I left work early to...
