I WAS READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP…. Happy Friday Friends! I had planned to send out my blogpost on Wednesday, as part of my “back on track” thing, but the information that I wanted to share was not quite ready. So today, a Special Edition of Martini Musings…just for you!!! As you may know/remember, I had a day of photos and filmmaking a few weeks ago. This video was an all-day production and I really didn’t know for sure how it would turn out or exactly where it would be presented. Yesterday (Thursday), I received the email with the link to a video that will soon be on the AARP Facebook page and website. In addition, there would be an article on the AARP magazine online, with the possibility of the article showing up in the AARP magazine. Because you are the people who have loved me for most of my adult life (some even longer!), I want you to have the first dibs on the viewing. This video is a snippet of my journey and why I joined The Ethel Circle, which is a Faceb...
Yes
indeed...now that the Grandma news has sunk in, and the planning is in full swing, it's time to start reviewing
potential "grandma" names! Who knew that this was a
thing? I know I have lots of friends who are grandmas and really, I
don't know that any one of them has the same grandma name as another in my
group.
I'm thinking
it will be easy to say, it will be the 2-syllable name I wanted and to be
honest...it came from a name that my Dad uses with me so it's being passed
down. There is sentiment attached to it and that's what it is about to
me.

Go Baby Go!!! Yep…Derby week is in full swing and tomorrow, Louisville will become THE place to be for three days! If any of you are reading this and will be in the area…Welcome and have a great time!! If you want to have a mint julep, feel free to stop by! My week has been so fun and the events did not disappoint. It all started with Opening Night in the Turf Club at Churchill Downs. It was a beautiful evening with a light breeze. Our driver was very kind, but sadly, her car did not have air conditioning, so we were a little warm heading out to the track. Note to self…be sure to ask that question when scheduling!! After arriving near the gate, we enjoyed the easy ride on the escalator and elevator to the Turf Club where we were seated and greeted and ordered our first cocktails…a mint julep for me!! I have to say, it was a lot of fun and I think that winning a few races helped keep the fun going! Food and drink along with good people, celebrities and excellent people wa...
Another Fun Hangover! WOW! This past weekend was awesome! It was a labor of love, kind of like my class reunions, and I loved every minute. Forgive me for bubbling over with joy after the first “Let’s Take on Derby City” with my newfound group of “Ethels.” It ended on Sunday and today, I’m finally feeling back to normal (whatever that might mean!). Nothing like a good “Fun Hangover.” The Ethels are a group of women, mainly 50 and over, and we are part of an AARP Facebook page, called The Ethel Circle. Ethel was one of the founders of AARP so the name of the group is a tribute to her. Most of you have seen THE video, knowing that I have a Kentuckiana group of Ethels. (* That video has gone viral by the way!!) At one of our luncheons, we decided to invite other Ethels from different states, to come for a gathering. I had hoped to have 50-75 and began marketing before the holidays, then started official registration on March 1. Although we didn’t make my go...
Yay CiCi!! It’s perfect!! The best thing is, it will be easy for TeenyTrupiano to pronounce EARLY! Grandmas must think of these things!!!
