Bright lights, sights explode, A feast for every sense found… City magic screams There’s a reason why New York City continues to top bucket lists around the world. Beyond its iconic skylines and recognizable landmarks, a trip to the Big Apple is an experience like no other…no matter how many times you’ve visited previously. It’s …

More of MY PERSONAL POSTER PROJECT
Inspired by the Syracuse Poster Project, I wanted to pay homage to two places for which I’m grateful… The first…Columbus Bakery, my town’s legendary old world bakery established way back in 1895. The next, I wanted to acknowledge all the extraordinary plant and flower shops throughout our town…(everyone has a favorite…) that help us add …
PERSONAL POSTER PROJECT: OUR TOWN
Inspired by SYRACUSE POSTER PROJECT founded in 2001, I embarked on my own personal project to highlight what’s unique and wonderful about our town… through my eyes. The original PROJECT brings together poets and artists to create an annual series of illustrated poetry posters related to Central New York. They’re displayed throughout the city year-round. …
MICHAEL’S 84th
Hard to imagine that Michael is 84 today and we’ve been together for 60+ years…more than a lifetime for many. I found a wonderful gift for him on the internet…decorated OREO cookies…his favorite. These are double cream OREOS with sprinkles and his image…AND THEY’RE DELICIOUS!! Such a clever idea… ROCK ON, my love. We’ll celebrate …
READY FOR STARDOM
My mind fast forwards through nineteen years of performances…ballet, piano and karate “recitals,” primary, middle school and high school musical theater productions and then college…exhibiting a whole new level of expertise in acting, singing and dancing for our talented granddaughter, Lilly. Playing to a packed house, CRAZY FOR YOU, presented by Randolph College’s graduating class …
A UNIVERSE IN THE WORLD, NYC
Water surrounding a universe in the world tethered by bridges.. Our cousins, from Capetown, South Africa, ended their vacation travels with us in the Big Apple. David was here with me, briefly, in 1976 (when he was 17,) but his wife Jacqui had never experienced the magic of New York City. Michelle came down to …
SWEET BABY JAMES, 6/25/24
James Vernon Taylor, now 76 years old, started his public career in 1970… and the rest is history. His dulcet tones, his soft, gentle, calming voice, his deadpan, ironic sense of humor, his shy, “aw sucks” vibe and his casual persona make him a very appealing, sensitive singer-songwriter. Our family has loved him for sooo …
EXPANDED ITALY, JULY 2024
Here we are, Michelle and me…and a few other women , visiting Florence, Orvieto and Rome. Michelle is guiding the group in Orvieto, the rest is through a combined effort of BOLD SPIRIT TRAVEL and ADVENTURES IN ITALY. I’m not accustomed to traveling with people other than another couple or just Michelle and/or Michael so …
LILLY LOGUE: “12 ANGRY JURORS”
Finally, we got to see our STAR granddaughter, Lilly, in a real production…the first since high school. In her college, the underclassmen/women can’t perform in a real production until their senior year. We’ve seen her perform in “Coffee House” situations where she’ll sing or dance, but no formal performance! So, this was a real treat …
HUNTER LOGUE, TRUMPETER, on ROYAL CARIBBEAN’S “JEWEL OF THE SEAS”
The Caribbean wasn’t our first choice of a place to visit, especially after so many cruises to see Michelle when she worked as a videographer on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. But it had been almost SEVEN months since we’d seen our best boy face to face…(somehow, FaceTime isn’t the same..) We had hugs and love …
