With the hubby’s fast-approaching big birthday (his 60th; mine follows in January), the question was posed to him: where do you want to be on that day … October 7th? “At a baseball game.” Sounds like a simple enough request.

Happily a recent journey required neither a lot of cash nor a huge investment of time. In fact, who wouldn’t want to play hooky and, at the same time, indulge in a favorite passion … anyone who knows me at all can guess this would involve orchids. Every year, my best re-bloomer, now with 8 […]
