Like most mothers, I think my children are the best things I’ve ever done – hands down. My daughter, now an adult and living her own life, is a lovely young woman whom I adore. She’s smart and happy and doing fabulously well – a job well done in my opinion. My son is also [...]

I have too many houseplants. They are so much fun, and never look as big, or as numerous, in their summer, outside home under my live oak tree in the back yard. I never realize my lack of good judgment until I actually bring them in my tiny little house. Right now, you have to [...]

I received this link in an e-mail recently, www.globalrichlist.com. You enter your income, and it tells you where you rank, richest to poorest, in the world’s population. I was shocked to find out I am in the top three percent! And, I am definitely not wealthy by any of the standards I’ve used to measure [...]

Nearly all of the Sasee women I know love to dress up in a truly beautiful, flattering outfit, with just the right accessories, including, of course, the perfect pair of shoes, and go out for a special evening of celebration. It’s one of our favorite things about the holidays. Then, after New Year’s Eve, it’s [...]

I grew up (like many of you, I’m sure) taking piano lessons every week and practicing nearly every day, not so much because I wanted to, but because my mother made it a priority. I banged my way through Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, perfecting that one special piece for the annual recital. I don’t play [...]

Summer is my favorite time of year. I never complain about the heat, and I enjoy meeting the visitors who come to enjoy the spectacular beauty of our area. While on my morning beach run or walk, I see many of the same people, who, like me, love the peace and beauty of the dawn. [...]

This July is a big month for me. On the 13th, I will turn 50. Yes, my friends, it’s a big birthday! For the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about this milestone and how I feel about it. And, I’ve come to the conclusion that I really am getting better, in most [...]

As the only child of older parents, I spent a lot of time growing up listening to my parents, and their friends, talk. They talked about everything from their favorite foods to the skeletons in the family closet, and I cherish the many things I learned about my parents’ lives that they may not have [...]
