Through life's experiences I have done a lot, learned a lot and have become who I am today. Welcome to the road that led me here.
It’s been 3 months now since I have been able to kiss your lips. Not being able to be with you, really together, is so hard. But then who ever said that a long-distance romance was easy. At least I get to hear your amazing voice nightly, hear how much you love me and then... Continue Reading →
Jace 26 My Huckleberry Finn I so look forward to the talks that my Jace*---- and I share nightly. This man of mine is such a wonderful and amazing conversationalist. We talk about everything and nothing important. I’ve learned so much from him. He is one of the most intelligent persons I’ve ever known. And... Continue Reading →
Dad’s early days In honor of Father’s Day, I will be sharing some stories for the next few weeks about my Dad. Albert was born to Lydia and George in a sod house on August 23th 1915. He was delivered with the help of a midwife, Justina who was his mother’s sister. Justine was said... Continue Reading →
It’s been a month since I’ve seen my Jace*----. Separation is painful, especially at first. The way we get through our time apart is with our nightly talks. Sometimes we are on the phone into the weee hours. It’s always very comforting to hear voice right before I go to sleep. It’s one part of... Continue Reading →

Because of her past relationship with Arletta’s father, which was far less than good and her own Father, who was no less than a monster, Mom did not have a lot of faith... Continue Reading →
It’s late morning of the 26th of January. This will be our last day together until we can find another time that we can reunite some place, somewhere. Time goes to fast when we are physically together and way to slow when we are apart. It should be the opposite. I so look forward to... Continue Reading →
Today’s the day we fly back to the real world. Ugh We woke up early for us. After our good morning kisses, I went down to the lobby to check on when our shuttle bus would arrive. The desk clerk looked our agenda over and told me that we had an hour before they would... Continue Reading →
We slept in on our last full day in Hawaii. It seems to become a theme in our relationship that the closer it comes to us being separated our moods slowly would change. Depression would creep in for each of us. It was short spurts of Paradise or playing house together. Just a brief taste... Continue Reading →
One of Lucille, my Mom’s, favorite places to hang out was in Santa Monica at theLooff’s Pier where the monumental Hippodrome building, which housed vintage merry-go-rounds, Wurlitzer organs, the Blue Streak Racer wooden roller coaster, the Whip and Aerospace thrill rides and a funhouse. Amusement piers became enormously popular in the first decades of the... Continue Reading →
