We’re not really big on Hallmark holidays, but I do indulge in playing the Mother’s Day card once a year. This year I was informed that I could say “but, it’s Mother’s Day” a total of only ten times before the phrase would lose its power to motivate my sons to do something for me. … Continue reading Mother’s Day moments, 2018

Tulips and kisses – Albany love
Unexpectedly, I found myself with the evening free last night. Since I had been mourning a lack of opportunity to visit the park on a sunny day and the evening was stellar, I grabbed Jeter and headed down with my Nikon for a walk.

First stop – Mrs. London’s for my usual almond croissant and glorious bowl of latte. Carbed and caffeined, I made my way to Saratoga National … Continue reading Soaking it in
