Aug 16 Posted by nancyjrab 62 Comments

A few weeks ago my fellow blogger and  Blogging Angel, Rebecca Levey from Beccarama.com, took me to see A Little Night Music on Broadway.

Put some Clothes On!

Jul 9 Posted by nancyjrab 2 Comments

I am old. Not because of  my saggy knees, or brown spots, or my elbows that look as if they’ve been crumpled up in the back of a drawer for a few decades.  No, I am old because I am horrified by what “young girls” are wearing.

Here's how. 6:50 Continue Reading

At Least my Dog Still Loves Me

Mar 15 Posted by nancyjrab 1 Comment

The Kids vs. The Dog I remember the olden days when my children would cry and carry on when I left the house to go out. "Don't go Mommy! Don't go!" And when they would rejoice at my return, running to the door to smother me with kisses....even if I had only gone downstairs to get the mail. But Continue Reading
