The flair for drama runs deep in my blood. In fact, I’d go so far as to suggest it’s a family trait. Certainly my children and grandchildren inherited it.

I’ve made a momentous decision – I’m cleaning out my closet. It’s stuffed to the gills, and there’s no room to unpack what I brought home from Florida, not to mention the treasures I picked up along the way during the tour.

Last night’s Sacramento Bee Book Club signing was fabulous. It has held at the Arden Fair Mall, right in front of the Nordstrom store that just happened to be having a sale!

Larry and Penny picked me up in their new Rolls Royce, which comes complete with a refrigerator and picnic trays in the backseat! We toured a candy store that sells several hundred kinds of salt water taffy. I swear, every piece I bought is for Wayne! (I’m discarding the used wrappers.) Read more

I’m in Charlotte, North Carolina, a beautiful city of Southern charm. I arrived on Sunday with almost an entire day free, so I boosted the local economy with an excursion to the shopping mall and a movie. In case you’re curious, I saw "Knocked Up," a great movie, except for the language.
