Bananas - April 9, 2026 (in no particular order)
- Wow, just when you thought network TV was DOA, comes St. Denis Medical! Granted I do watch this on Peacock TV streaming because appointment viewing is truly dead, but still, it's a network sitcom at its best. And David Allen Grier! The main person, Joyce! And the two Asian nurses! What a fantastic cast. Lighthearted and breezy; I love to watch while I cook dinner or fold laundry. Thank you to my husband who installed a TV with a rotating arm in our kitchen.

Rediscovering a great wine from 2018: Matassa Olla Rouge.
- This is a natural wine from France. I had it for the first time at a friend's house and forgot about it for many years. I loved the 2023 vintage. 2024 wasn't as good but still pretty delicious. Looking forward to the new vintage.

My son's maturing tastes in books!
- We still can't get enough of The Berenstain Bears at home, but it's been a welcome change to branch out to some Roald Dahl and hopefully Harry Potter soon. And now that my son can read on his own, he's been reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid to himself (not my favorite but I get why it's such a successful franchise).

Long shorts
- Just got a pair of Zara's long white denim shorts. I'll be debuting them tonight at a Moms only dance party. 'Cus we all know, ladies dress for ladies!
Until next time....
