On what would have been my parents 57th anniversary, it should be noted, the boy from the Bronx and the girl from Perú did not have the happy storybook marriage... part 1

Pt 2 - The Bronx Fairytale dream with the Peruvian Princess wasn't real...And that's ok. Their union helped to extend more branches and leaves to an amazing family tree. So here's to my parents with much love and affection. There's no Me Without You! #bronxfairytale #mewithoutyou

It's taking all of my fierce determination not to crack into these mail order macarons from Ma-Ka-Rohn. If I could make these, I would if I could, but can't, so won't. Take my money!!!#macarons #luckycharms #Pistachio #IrishCream #ferrerorocher #guiltypleasure #downmegullet

Reality v Expectation... A sad day for compromise. Lean Cuisine #pizza #sadtvdinner #spinach #mushroom #disappointed #downmegullet #reality #leancuisine

Sadness... Sadness, they call it Sadness... #Madness #Sadness

Saturday morning mother and son day. Nails clipped (no more loud tippy taps for a while) and a Heartworm test... check and check. The Vet Tech said he looks good for a 15 year old man. Happy to report, Bowie's healthy, happy and handsome. #BowieTheDog #BowieStuff #heterochromia

Infertility is a loss... loss of a dream and a future. After the storms come the gentle rain and subtle reminders. So be kind to yourself, especially today. #Infertility #mushroom #fungi #backyardviews #MothersDay

The Elusive Mr.Murdock was sort of camera shy today, but behaved like a champ at the vet. He got his annuals, refils on meds and even lost 7 lbs/3 kgs!!! Way to go Murdock!!! #bordercolliemix #patientboy #TheElusiveMrMurdock #vaccinationstreet #dogsoftwitter

Just found out about Fred Ward's passing. He was a Hell of actor with too many film credits to list. But if I had to pick my favorite role, it would be Henry Miller in the film Henry & June. I think I need to revisit this film again. #RIP #FredWard #HenryAndJune #HenryMiller

9 years ago, we met a sickly little dog who got along with Bowie after our Murphy died. So we filled out an application... Here's Wrecks today, thriving and enjoying another lazy day. #WrecksTheDog #wrecksthefighter #wrecksellent #plotthoundmix #graymuzzleclub #AdoptDontShop

A very good Bowie while Daddy goes shopping. #bowiethedog #BowieStuff #GoodBoy #pittiemix #backseatdriver #myblueeyebrowneyeboy #heterochromia #MyLittleOldMan

I've been menopausal for over a year and like some freakish voodoo, I was reminded what it's really like to still be a woman. My heart and my regulated lady Private parts bleed for every woman this forcible decision effects.

Recapturing my youth, one t-shirt at a time... I saw a-ha in 1986 in South Florida 14/7/1986. My beloved concert shirt was destroyed with most of my treasured possessions in Hurricane Andrew 24/8/1992. Garth Iorgy a million thank yous doesn't begin to cover it. a-ha #aha

Happy Dave Matthews Band Chicago River Incident Day... 💩💩💩 18 years ago today, a sh*ty band did a pretty sh*tty thing. Never Forget!!! #davematthewsband #NeverForget #ChicagoRiver

Not only is it Morten's 63rd birthday, today marks the last time I saw a-ha perform (Sunrise Musical Theatre in SoFL) 36 yrs ago for HHAL tour. It still is one of my top favorite shows of all time and they're still one of my top favorite bands.#MortenHarket #aha #cutebandalert

Still shocked and saddened by the death of Terry Hall... I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry last night. #TerryHallRIP #ThinkingOfYou youtu.be/178ojX0Q4QA

Wrecks, my favorite co-pilot is finally home. He fought bravely and is finally at peace. But for lack of a more fitting word, the Pilot is a wreck. 😭 #WrecksInPeace 🌈 #WrecksTheDog #petloss

Let's raise our glasses to another sobering year filled with life, loss, and love. I will carry on the best I can until I can't."We'll take a cup of kindness yet...For the sake of auld lang syne" #AuldLangSyne

HVD 💛 #ValentinesDay
