What's Happening


We were out of town again last weekend.  


We visited a place called Q-Mart where there was a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  The candy store (above) had the sweetest smell!  It took me back to my childhood days of filling up little paper sacks with 10 cents worth of penny candy.


We stayed in a suite at the Hampton Inn in Bethlehem, PA and it was very nice.  The only problem was, the bed was soft and I don't rest well unless I have a firm mattress.

We took Gary's Mom out for Mother's Day brunch on Sunday morning before we left to come home.


Waiting at home for me was all kinds of Mother's Day goodies.





And a dog who wanted to know:

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!! LEAVING ME ALL ALONE ON A STORMY WEEKEND?!" 




*** don't feel too sorry for the dog.  Lindsey and Rissi take really good care of her while we are away and they visit often to let her out and fill her bowls to overflowing with food and water

Blaise Delfino. Remember the name.


In March we attended the Mid Atlantic Hearing Expo in Harrisburg Pa.  

While there, we received 13 CEU's, enjoyed really good food, met some interesting people, and learned a lot.

In the interesting people category,  we met a mother, father and son from Bethlehem, Pa.  A handsome, well mannered family, whom we were drawn to...

The type of people you meet and feel like you have 
known all your life....  Gary gave them a copy of my book and they were so appreciative and thanked us over and over again. 

What intrigued me the most about this family was the son, who was exceptional in looks, manners, and respect.  It blessed my heart to see this young man following in his parents footsteps and becoming a successful business person. But what I did not know, until I returned home and Googled him, is that this young man is a musician as well.  

This guy is going to be famous someday!  He has everything it takes:  Talent, confidence, perseverance, good looks, dedication, drive, and a heart for God.  

One day I will say...  " you mean Blaise Delfino?  Oh, yes...  I know him!"  

Now, picture this:  Gary and I sitting on the dusty floor of a place called the Living Room in Stroudsburg, Pa. ...  waiting to see Blaise do his set, and making it through a set of Scream-o that just about killed my eardrum > Yikes! And enjoying some other young people with amazing talent as well. 

 Yes, I needed help getting up when it was all over.  LOL!

We are Blaise's Golden Groupies. 

Check out this talent:  (the second video is the one I took from the floor of the Living Room)

Remember the name.  Blaise Delfino.
