Trying to block out the atrocities happening in this country. Not because I don't care, but I care too much and it is making me sick, especially the desecration of the White House. (Someone call an exorcist!)We shouldn't forget there is still beauty.

Bought tickets to the 1940s Ball in a week and a half. It's a tribute to the heroes--men and women--who lived and died and fought during WWII. I consider it not safe for NAZIS. Working on my 40s hair and makeup.

Waiting to watch the Kentucky Derby. I dedicate two minutes a year to a sport, and this is it. Mint juleps with fresh mint from our "garden." Taking a break. Enjoy the day. #writerslife #kentuckyderby #takingiteasy

This past weekend, we enjoyed the White Christmas Ball, 1940s ball, at Wings Over the Rockies in Denver on Saturday, December 7. Dressed up in our fave 1940s glad rags and danced the night away. Research for writing--It's a hard job but somebody's got to do it. 😉
