The Ride’s Not Ending and the Sun’s Not Ready to Set!

07 May, 2022 Wow Jodie, this is definitely a momentous day for sure!! (smile) We had a great phone conversation as you were cruising to Portsmouth, VA this morning. It was one of the “7- Guaranteed Phone Calls” we make each year….today is Birthday #49. Goodness, where do the years go?? I thought it would…

The Baccarat Butterfly…

09 May, 2022 I was again the very surprised recipient of a second wonderful gift from Anne. This time it was a parting gift as I was leaving Nestle and moving here to Vegas in 2001. I’m given another gift box and a card by her, and I’m really curious as to what could possibly…

A Boy’s Best Friends….

08 May, 2022 Hi Jodie….man, this is truly unique. It was only 24 hours ago that I wrote your birthday installment, marking the re-energizing of my enthusiasm to write more Chronicles!! (smile) All of a sudden, I’m feeling like there’s another quick installment I should knock out, but I don’t have an idea which collection…
