The Twist from a Twisted Sister!

Today I decided to wear something other than what I like to call my Covid Uniform! (Yoga Pants and a Tee Shirt) Seriously, you would have thought I was parading around naked by the comments I got from everyone including strangers. This got me thinking about the Fashion Police.  FP...

I like to joke that the first 5 years of my life were absolutely Charming! My blessings included being the first born. Only girl among all my cousins and needless to say I was spoiled rotten by everyone. Then my brother came along and ruined every thing! (Only joking Gary...

Before Moving To Arizona, I Didn't Know This.  Arizona Has Spectacular Sunsets And I Mean SPECTACULAR! Here Are Just A Couple I Captured Just Recently. And, I'm Not A Professional Photographer! God Did All The Work Here! So This Got Me Thinking About The Aurora Borealis. During College I Had...

Did you have this Ah Ha moment as a kid? (Click Pic) I remember this moment as if it happened last week. Unfortunately, for me it didn't happen until I was 7. Here's my tale and I would love to hear yours. As many of you know I'm tall and...

Last week my brother and I were commiserating about our lack of good luck... Although this is not an original saying, my Dad would say if  The Tenwalde's didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any luck at all. My brother borrowed a pick up truck to take some junk to...

Sorry, I've been absent for awhile it's been crazy... In the last 3 weeks I have had 11 days of shows, it was great fun but exhausting at the same time. So I don't know about you but I could use a good story and here it is:  Couple Gets...

I've always had a love for bridges especially covered ones... Maybe I got it from my Dad who loved bridges or maybe because it was my favorite place to play under at my Grandma's house. Who knows. But perhaps it's because I won my first and only art contest at 9 years...

My Mom insisted she could not sing... Yet when most people would hum, she would be yodeling. The yodel would always start the same. I Dee A Dee (Yodeling). I thought it was beautiful and I would asks her why she thought she couldn't sing? She said yodeling was not singing...

Who could forget Mel Blanc? Mel Blanc, the Man of a Thousand Voices, who gave his heart and soul to many beloved cartoon characters. During the Golden Age of American Animation, he voiced such icons as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Woody Woodpecker and so many more, as well...

Last week we celebrated our 34th Wedding Anniversary.... Hubby and I know we are blessed to have been together this long and honestly it doesn't seem that it has been this long. Yet a very strange thing happened. Before we went out to dinner, we exchanged cards.  Hubby opened his...

Today started out great and then I got this email from a friend's 25 year old grand daughter. First off in the title of the Email I saw the words Baby Boomer. For a half second I thought why is she sending this to me? I had a brief brain...

Many of you know that back when the dinosaurs roamed, I taught High School Math.Secretly, I was always amazed that as a beginning teacher the head of the math department assigned me a trigonometry class.  We new teachers soon found out that for every "Good" Class  (Trig, Geometry etc.) you were assigned two...

I recently reconnected with an old friend of many years via email.The other day I decided to call Karen (so tired of texting and emailing...). Lordie, we had a very interesting, fun, reminiscing chat. After we hung up I continued to think of all the great trips and things we did...

I've been in search of something positive that came out of the two years of Covid. For every I lost 20 pounds story, I heard many more I gained 20 etc. So I can just hear my Hubby saying, "Boy, you're really stretching now, Carol Ann." But it is a...

Growing up my brother's and I called Saturday "Slave Day". This was a product of having a mom who worked full time. Saturday was the day to fully clean the house. Ugh! We would start at 9:00 sharp. Being the oldest I got all the sucko jobs but that is...

If you have ever read my Jewelry Making Bio you'll note that I originally started out doing bead embroidery. I gave it up as it took way too much time to complete a piece AND I didn't feel it was creative enough because you used a pattern. Well, I get...

I grew up with a maternal Grandpa, George, who convinced us he was a witch of sorts. Even at 5 years old I thought he was just trying to entertain me and a slew of other cousins. AKA Keep us quiet. My grandma hated noise and honestly we were a rowdy...

If you've been reading my Twisted Sister Newsletter for some time, you will appreciate that I subscribe to some pretty weird sites. I like getting interesting material for these emails.  For the last 5 or 6 months I've been getting several emails a month about eating Crickets. Say what???? My hubby...

I write all the time about strange coincidences but this may really take the prize. When my mother was pregnant with me she craved hard boiled eggs. Dad would always tell me that she would get up in the middle of the night to boil eggs. So it would be...

 I've mentioned this to you before but it still irks me! My Dad, Bob was such a delightful character and left me with a treasure trove of material for this blog. Bob loved to tell stories and when someone interrupted him he would say, "Hey, I wasn't done talkin!" At his...
