When I wasn’t looking, some words disappeared - like haberdasher. In 1960 we stopped needing a name for someone who sells men’s hats. That’s when John F. Kennedy went hatless to his inauguration. That’s when men stopped wearing hats. When women went to work in a man’s world, they stopped wearing hats…

They say you don’t know someone until you walk a mile in his shoes. If you walked a mile in mine, you’d have to walk in heels. I’m more comfortable in heels than flats - usually.
My luggage was lost when my husband and I went to Costa Rica. Lost luggage wasn’t a surprise…

Who knew the "for better or for worse" part of my wedding vows would get better and better? When you’re opposites, one spouse supposedly balances the other. I don’t think so. If you’re deaf, it affects your balance…

Men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses - well, they didn’t until eyeglasses became a fashion statement. Now people spend hundreds of dollars on designer frames.
Designer frames are a status symbol. They’re for others to see you can afford them - but they’re not for me…

Whatever happened to the past seven or eight hours? That’s what I ask myself when the alarm clock goes off. Because I feel like I just closed my eyes, it’s hard to believe it’s time to get up. Maybe I should make myself wake up during the night so I can appreciate having been asleep…

Front doors say as much about who lives in a house as names on mailboxes do. Natural wood, for example, says casual and unpretentious - unless the owners of the house have been married for so long they’ve gotten used to the weather-beaten look…

Living in Los Angeles without meditating would be like living in Seattle without drinking coffee - hard to swallow. Today, thankfully, you don’t have to have long hair, sandals and a tie-dyed t-shirt. Today the look is Richard Gere without tie-dye…

My grandmother loved familiar sayings and one of her favorites was "You can’t have your cake and eat it too". Hopefully, she didn’t share that with brides. If a bride puts a piece of wedding cake under her pillow, her dreams are meant to come true. Because I eloped, that wouldn’t have worked for me…

Burger flippers get training, so do crossing guards and street sweepers - but not parents. As soon as sperm fertilizes an egg, we become human sculptors. We’re given approximately seven pounds of protoplasm to mold and manage, help and heal, teach and train, comfort and care for…

My grandmother believed in face-lifts - as long as they didn’t require surgery. She believed a smile improved everyone’s looks.
Most women, however, use lipstick to improve their looks. That’s why lipstick is the most frequently purchased beauty product - except by me. I don’t wear lipstick…
