Uncle John has a burgundy, velvet tuxedo jacket. For decades, he’s worn it to every black tie event, and Aunt Ar makes sure there are plenty.
Atop a sea of black and white convention, the tall, dark man moves quietly in his curious, velvet burgundy.
Well-heeled and headstrong, he ever insists, as long as the jacket fits – it fits.
Unswayed by the loud public statement his offbeat fashion statement makes for such a guarded, taciturn, conventional man.

I am a writer, a mother of two girls, Eva (20) and Sophia (18) and wife to one husband, Kurt.
I was mostly a professional writer and editor for 30 years for graphic arts and advertising, for publishers of newspapers, magazines, books, etc.,. Now, I have a blog where I post my creative non-fiction, short stories, a couple of illustrated children's stories and a comedy I wrote about two years I spent teaching English in rural Japan (NOT a story for a child.).
I’m also working on a new blog about the wonderful, hand-crafted items I've collected over the years at beautyofthrift.com.
- which will also connect to the Etsy shop I recently opened called Channeling Nonna.
My husband and I both love to cook and to entertain and have welcomed friends and family to our homes for over 20 years. With our eldest off at college, we also began hosting with Airbnb, the perfect (and most natural) way for me to continue to pursue my passion of writing, while at the same time help us pay for current and future college expenses.
