I spend a lot of my free time traveling, so I've got packing down to an art. I do have to confess that I've shaped my wardrobe based on how well items travel; I look for basics in neutral colors and then add some color with fun accessories.

It had to be a bit of a hassle coming off a long drive as hundreds of well wishers and fans anxiously awaited their turn to shake hands or get an autograph as soon as they climbed out of their trucks.

Recently my sister-in-law’s (Ava) daughter and son-in-law (Dawn & Michael Williams) came to see Ava for an overnight visit. She cooked dinner and invited me to join them.
