Good grief, my real estate team made me dress for Halloween today. How cruel! Well, not really. I just happen to have a white ghost gown, white patent leather go-go boots, salt and pepper hair now.

I was told the other day that I was lucky to be alive. Yep, that’s me. I had a few health issues last year that made me wake up and smell the coffee. I lost my dear, sweet Zeke to severe congestive heart failure only to find myself rescued last December by my new crazy... Continue Reading →
I am going to go out on that limb I never wanted to climb on that avocado tree in my aunt and uncle’s front yard in Pico Rivera in Southern California. I was always so envious of the boys that would just keep climbing higher. What held me back? But just last night I realized... Continue Reading →
