I am a glamma to the third power. Indeed, being a glamma to the third power makes me feel like a Super Glamma. I do believe I need an appropriate outfit to honor my enhanced status. No, not a typical uniform - not the shawl, colorful orthopedic shoes, and a bag with grandchildren's photos on it...that's [...]
Baby of mine…
I have been humming a familiar song over the past week - Baby Mine. You most likely remember this song from the animated Disney film Dumbo (if you are old enough to remember that film). If not, take a listen to Bette Midler's version paired with footage from the film...it is the sweetest song. It always reminds [...]

For sale: North Dakota’s way of life.
I can barely stomach news about Western North Dakota these days. Every day it is something - either in the local or national news; unfortunately, it is so rarely good news. The infrastructure cannot support the oil boom, the environment is suffering, criminal activities are on the rise, and the identity of the state is [...]
