I am certainly no princess, but I did marry my Prince Charming. We had the once upon a time and the “almost” happily ever after until August 30th, 2014 when my Prince Gregger died tragically on the beach in Maui. I believe in fairytales. I believe in fate. I believe that “everything happens for a reason.” We planned a lifetime together…75 years to be exact. Someone or something changed our plans and gave us a new “ever after.” So here I am. I am still a wife, but now they call me a widow. I am a mom and grandma…three children, two in-laws, and two grandchildren. Life has changed and it’s time to move forward. It doesn’t stop, it keeps on going, so I do too. It’s my choice. Be happy, be grateful. It’s the only choice. I have a treasure trove of memories to share..it’s how I keep the happily ever after alive. A True Love Fairytale is 40 years of memories…it’s the essence of our happily ever after. It’s the imperfections of our perfect marriage. And it’s what makes today beautiful.
Sunday Funday - A True Love Fairytale

Sunday Funday

 I have a love-hate relationship with Sundays...it used to be my favorite day of the week. It was "our" day together. I would sleep in a little bit (lucky to push past the 7 am mark) and awake to an already sweaty Gregger sitting at the kitchen table reading the Sunday paper. The coupon pages had been separated into piles across my kitchen counter...why he believed I was still cutting coupons, I have no idea! Sometimes I would cut them and give them to him just to make him happy. He got so excited with a Crest or Tide coupon...save a buck and he smiled! My coffee cup was neatly set out on a paper towel, spoon by its side, equal packets and my sugar free syrups all ready to pour...who couldn't Read more [...]
For better or worse - A true Love Fairytale

For Better or Worse

Being laid up with a bum foot takes me back to the earliest days of our marriage..I lie here reminiscing of all the "better or worse" moments that Gregger endured due to his vows of "in sickness and health." One month into our wedded bliss when my wisdom teeth when south, he was asking my parents for a 30 day return policy - my dad's response..."She's all yours!" The good news for me (falling fast and hard) was that Greg never saw what hit him...within a year, this 21-year old gem was falling apart. I had my wisdom teeth pulled, multiple sinus surgeries, and had contracted major migraines - lucky me, lucky him. We weathered those rocky roads, but I think (no, I KNOW) there were times he wish Read more [...]

Just a Silly Love Song

"You'd Think That People Would Have Had Enough Of Silly Love Songs. But I Look Around Me And I See It Isn't So. Some People Wanna Fill The World With Silly Love Songs. And What's Wrong With That? So I remember all the way back to junior high when I would belt out love songs in the privacy of my room. My sister would tell my to "shut up" as I sang "See You in September" over and over again, while pining for one boy or crying over another who had recently broken my heart. Love songs come in all shapes and sizes...there's slow and sensual for falling in love; a little more upbeat when you're in love; and then totally melancholy mellow when heartbreak hits. Whatever your love song, it's Read more [...]
I love you hearts - A True Love Fairytale

I love you Everyday Not Just on Valentine’s Day…

Valentine's Day is approaching..a day of romance, love, flowers, candy and so much more. It's a day to remind us to "love" the one we are with, but Greg and I used to call it the "Hallmark holiday." I was never a big Valentine girl...I don't know if that went back to something in my childhood or what, but the holiday just never meant much to me. Don't get me wrong...I LOVED ROMANCE and I LOVED BEING ROMANCED by Greg, but I certainly didn't need a specific day on the calendar to tell me to say "Hey, it's the day for the LOVE!" We used to laugh about it and say we should have Valentine's Day every day...why should there be a holiday just to remind us to love each other? But...this year is different...WOW! Read more [...]

“I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives For a reason…bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow - if we let them… And we help them in return. Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true… But I know I’m who I am today because I knew you…” Fate brought us together and God took us apart, but in forty years we learned so much from each other..from 20 year old kids to 60 year old “youngsters” we changed in a multitude of ways…from Greg’s bushy hair and mustache to my ever changing hair styles, we matured, learned to love in so many different ways, and learned to be the very best of friends. We lived a life of celebrations, Read more [...]
