They're Here—My original "Dear Baby Boomer" greeting cards!

If you've been reading my stories or if you've been a part of "Dear Baby Boomer-Remembering the 50's & 60's" on Facebook you know that there's a special place in my heart for those simpler days back when we were kids. I have found the subject to be a nice diversion when life in 2011 gets—well—complicated! (...know what I mean?)
If you look back at those days and *sigh* wondering, "Was life really that simple back then?" I know you will enjoy my cards.

If you've been reading along you will recognize some of the images from my stories.Take the Cadillac for example....
This card originated from the story of my mom's 1953 Cadillac that you can read here.
Each card comes with a memory on the back-typed with my vintage typewriter.

Like this...

My cards are professionally printed on #120 cover stock. The colors are rich and beautiful-like I had discovered a brand new box of crayons!
This first edition set comes with six 5x7 cards—one card of each design —and envelopes. They are blank inside since Baby Boomers still like to...express themselves!
There are more stories to come—and more cards in the series. This is the beginning!

My Etsy shop is officially OPEN!

Take a look around!

Feeling gratitude this Memorial Day!!


Remembering the days following 911-flags flying everywhere! From porches lining city streets—large and small. They reminded me of our tendency to take things for granted-assuming our life in this country will always remain the same.
I walked my dog Dallas this morning and noticed there were some flags...but not many considering this is Memorial day.

Feeling gratitude this morning for the blood that is being shed and has been shed through the ages for the incredible freedom we still enjoy—and so often taken for granted!


Our little log house...makes me smile! : )

True Blue Baby Boomer...


Today we celebrate 36 years of marital bliss!

Anyone who knows us and a little bit about our life over the years, knows that this is a tongue in cheek statement! Is there anything we haven't been through as a couple? Yikes, it makes me tired just thinking about it.

There is one thing that we have not been through and for this am very thankful. We have always been—and always will be true blue lovers!


It's been an amazing journey, from the year 1970 when we met in my Dad's shop. (I was the boss's daughter) Here is a picture that makes me smile—taken in a photo booth at Seaside Heights, NJ.

Our
love at first sight romance lasted about two years until we parted company. The world had become a confusing place with lots of questions but not many answers. The story of our getting back together—and marriage six months later deserves a separate post!

But until then, here's a little video I made for our 30th anniversary....
