💛 Remembering Dorothy
Some people leave footprints. Dorothy left laughter trails. From our first volleyball meet-up to wild babysitting adventures, this is my story of a one-of-a-kind friend who made every moment count.

Some places aren’t measured by square footage or fancy furniture—they’re measured by the people who fill them. Dar and Les’s house may have been one log short, but it overflowed with something far more important: love, laughter, and a little chaos. And Gary? Well, he fit right in.

Every little girl dreams of a fairy tale wedding…
👑 Yeah, I wasn’t really one of those girls.

When a quiet moment turns into a missing baby scare, Wanda finds herself facing a furious neighbor—and a whole lot of mom guilt. But thanks to her quick-witted friend Dorothy (and a little well-timed humor), disaster is averted. A story about motherhood, mishaps, and the kind of friend everyone needs.

A simple potato salad. A whole lot of trouble.

Ever wonder what it was like to fall in love with someone who could’ve stepped right out of an episode of Happy Days? This story is a walk down memory lane—back to my wild twenties, a whirlwind romance, and the unforgettable man who loved Elvis, danced like nobody was watching, and lived life on the edge.

“Dancing with Gary” is a reflection on young love, messy years, and the lessons that stick with you long after the music fades. It’s a story for my grandkids, for anyone who’s ever loved a little recklessly, and for those of us who still get up and dance when the right song comes on.

Let’s just say mixing hormones, campfires, and a six-pack never ends quietly. A tale of smoke, regret, and a burnt something I still haven’t forgiven them for.
