Holiday Happenings In My Retirement Kitchen

Shoe Shopping in Retirement? You Betcha!

June 16, 2016 by Marcia Mantell

Let’s face it. If there is anything women know and love, it’s our shoes. We know of the excesses of the rich and famous. So many have closets full of expensive Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos.

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

More coming soon…
