I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    The Big Day!

    My daughter's First Holy Communion was a wonderful day for all involved. We were blessed with decent weather, and though it wasn't needed, she insisted on wearing the complete Communion ensemble - which included not only the dress, veil, shoes (and hairpiece!) but also her white rabbit jacket.

    Here are some cute snaps of her at home bfore Mass, with me and our wonderful, caring priests, and enjoying some of her gifts at the after-party that I hosted at a local "upscale" Italian restaurant. You can see the hairdo in the pic without the veil.

    You both look fabulous, which of course, is not the point of the day, but I had to say it.

    Glad you were able to share this special day.
