Or, as my friends Sue said to me today, “I hope you have a Happy V.D.”
It took me a second.
The new photo on the top is of the beautiful roses my husband got me for Valentine’s Day. I was not expecting anything today, because we had discussed that gifts were not necessary. Plus, [...]

Who’s Your 80s Hunk?
Not too surprising, really. I’ve always loved the nerdy guys…
Although, I have to admit, I always had a huge crush on Jason Bateman (Sweetpea’s hunk), back when he played Ricky Schroeder’s friend on “Silver Spoons”, and when he finally got his own show, “It’s Your Move”. [...]
