I have finally settled into my new home and more importantly my new office. I have missed blogging something fierce and hope to jump in with both feet this week and knock out some stuff I’ve been storing in my head! I posed a question on my FB page asking what you might want to see […]
Tomorrow I leave for Atlanta and the biggest produce conference I will have ever attended, honestly it’s the only produce gathering I’ve attended. PMA or Produce Marketing Association is the host of this event. PMA’s Fresh Summit hosts companies from every segment of the produce industry, from produce growers to packagers to fresh flower vendors […]

I was dismayed, as were we all at their lack of preparedness and attention that I won’t be writing about that tasting.

Holy smoke – I am completely unnerved by this news but my man Dan informed me last night that I will be without internet service for several days after we move this weekend. That means once I unplug Saturday morning I won’t be able to do much, if any blog work. The good news is […]

All opinions are mine alone. #BrightMind #CollectiveBias Some of you might recall a few months back I wrote a story about switching our dogs to a new kind of Purina dog food. At that time I purchased one dedicated to “weight management” as […]
Have you ever had one of “those” experiences that you know you will never forget? An occurrence that isn’t planned or even thought of. For me it’s the “sweet spot” of life. Drinking wine with American screenwriter Robert Kamen at his vineyard on our “Tour de California”, was unequivocally the highlight of our tour! Totally unplanned, unforeseen […]
