TICKLED PINK...
I was thrilled when my family recently accepted an invitation to a party at my place. At the same time, I discovered this fabulous new French Fusion Liquor and all the cocktails you could make with it.
One drink that stood out was what they called a Tickled Pink. It’s made by pouring two-thirds champagne into a flute glass, and topping it off with the X-Rated Liquor, which consists of imported French Vodka, Sicilian Blood Orange, mingling with Mango and Passion fruit. I knew my family would appreciate this rich brew. And the theme for my party was created ---- Tickled Pink.
I sent out sparkling Pink Invitations promising there would be a prize for the best pink outfit or accessory. I compiled a CD of dancing music, featuring the Rebirth Brass Band and of course Pink’s, Get This Party Started. I ordered the food, and a Pretty Pink Cake by a local French baker.
The day of the party I hung a funky Pink Flamingo wearing a top-hat & green socks, on my front door, and placed Pink Balloons around the entrance. Then the magic happened….The first person to enter brought me a dozen pink roses in a pink vase, with a pink ribbon. The second person showed up in a gorgeous pink pashmina scarf (which they let me borrow). Even two of my brother in-laws wore pink shirts! And, as they held me up for this picture, everyone told me they loved me! I was so happy I blushed.
The party was so much fun that I am already thinking about my next celebration…
There is this tempting Red Velvet Cake I am crazy about. And, one of my friends is a red-head. Another gets embarrassed at the drop of Aunty’s Red Hat! I’d say this has potential…. Your ideas are welcome…

DIAMONDS ARE MY FRIEND'S BEST FRIEND...
As you get acquainted with this blog, you will see, I only rave about things I am passionate about. And, what woman is not crazy about fine jewelry… even if it’s just to admire on others, drool over on the internet, or covet the shops.My friend Dale’s Diamond jewelry is the highest quality and simply divine. Since its spring, and love and such is in the air…. with all the weddings, and engagements coming up… It’s nice to know about Dale. She’s a winner, when it comes to shimmer.
When she’s not busy advising me on my blog and everything else that I come to her with (she truly is a wonderful friend)…she is mulling over gemstones with that magnifying glass of hers. This savvy New Yorker can be an asset to you if you are in the market for any kind of exceptional jewelry. If that were not true, I wouldn’t be gushing over her gems at all. Like Dale’s Private Collection, my readers are priceless. I value the time you give me by coming to this blog. I am only enthusiastic over things I believe you will enjoy and appreciate. I feel if I like something chances are my readers will to.
Check out the brilliance at www.dalefournier.com and see for yourself. My favorite is the Tulip Diamond Engagement Ring. Whose hand wouldn’t look pretty in that? On the other hand (no pun intended) there’s that dreamy Victorian ring. Let Dale’s amazing array of rings & things dazzle you too.

ZUMBA!
This woman is a mother of three...
I am so excited to report that I have found yet another way to stay Ageless… it’s called Zumba. Many of you are probably already aware of this popular fitness program, but I only recently stumbled upon a class. I was hooked on the first funky beat. These classes are so much fun that I have changed my schedule to make sure I don’t miss them. I urge you to try one. They are safe, effective, and thoroughly enjoyable! According to the Zumba website…
The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. ... Let's face it, working out can be healthy, rewarding and beneficial. Working out can be lots of things, but it's never been known to be an exhilarating experience…UNTIL NOW!
Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!

Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life...
That's What His New Book SaysLast week, when I told my mother I was going to see the J. Geils Band again, she asked me when I was going to outgrow rock and roll. I held up my high-school year book, with the picture of me with the words J. Geils written across my butt in rhinestones, and replied “Never!” My love for rock roll is as strong as ever. I just can’t get enough. My passion for that music carries over to my writing. I wrote a movie script that is essentially a valentine to Classic Rock and its fans (it is not produced yet, but I predict it will be). I still spend a lot of money on concert tickets, and I listen to that music every chance I get.
When I found out author, Steve Almond was on tour promoting his new book Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life, I put on my Jimi Hendrix tee-shirt, my black leather boots and worn out leather jacket. I held up a Bic lighter and made my way to Steve and his new book.
I have to give Steve a lot of credit. It’s hard to sell books these days. He spoke/performed, to a sold out audience. He even threw in a great live band by the name of Boris Mccutcheon & the salt licks, and a slide show. It was a clever idea and a great way to get people out, and interested.
The crowd roared. Everyone except Aunty was in a groove. Maybe because she is 86 years old, or, because she was about to meet Dean Martin the next night, Aunty was a bit preoccupied. But, I was front and center and, like the rest of the audience, I hung on Steve’s every word, grunt, and groan.
Here is a picture Aunty tried to take of me with Steve. Note: Neither Steve nor I are in the picture. Once again, Aunty had other things on her mind.

If you love rock, and like a funny read…listen to the music and check out Steve’s new book. Like it did for him, it might save your life. And, like the music does for me, it will help keep you Ageless… and that has always been my promise to you!
