The call to my Real Estate office in Venice Florida is from a lady in Chicago. She wants to purchase a villa in Sorrento East and is flying into Sarasota airport in two days.
I write down her airline, flight number and time of arrival. She ask me to pick her up when her flight comes in. Then she follows with “You will know me, I’m good looking and will be wearing a plaid jacket”. Beautiful!! She has a good sense of humor. This is going to be quite enjoyable! Continue reading
BEST FRIENDS–ALASKA ADVENTURE

It’s gonna take some clever packing to get all these evening clothes in one suitcase. And besides……I need things to wear in the day time. OK! So I’ll just take two bags, already!
My husband Wayne and I had made friends with two delightful couples at the Dance classes held at a Hollidaysburg Dinner Club.

We came up with this great idea that we should do something together for the “passenger participation in the show” night. It is kinda like an amateur contest.
My husband and I had done this on another cruise in the Caribbean. We didn’t win a prize but it was fun. They gave us material to make costumes and their band supplied the music to accompany our little act. We were given crepe paper that we used to make green grass Hawaian skirts and flower leis.

Do you remember how many celebrities or VIP’S you have met in your life time so far?
My daughter Susie (Carole Suzanne) had driven to the Chicago O’Hare airport to meet her sister Pamela as she came in from Columbus, Ohio to spend the summer between junior and senior years of High School. While waiting for Pam’s luggage at the baggage claim, Susie noticed a celebrity. She quickly took a note pad and pen from her purse and ran over to him. Holding the pen and pad out to him she said, “MR WILLIAMS, may I have your autograph please?”
