[TWE NEWS] Summer Escape—Laura’s Wild Why-Bold Spitfires-Watermelon Pizza
July 4, 2025 Hello Readers, Are you going to hit the road this summer? I ran across this encouraging quote from St. Augustine, and I knew it was time for me to venture out of town. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” I am a booklover and like to read many pages! Our travel series produced by travel writer Laurie King has also spurred me on. In fact, on my recent trip to the San Francisco area (to escape the triples), I was able to spend some time with Laurie...

March 12, 2025 Hello Readers, Every so often do you find yourself in awe of someone’s talent, amazed by what they can create?

November 27, 2024 Hello Readers, Did you go on an adventure in 2024 that inspired you to make a difference or change your way of looking at the world? I did, as well as the two intrepid women we met recently for TWE. One of my favorite towns is Concord, MA. I go there as often as possible as I grew up nearby, and where, during the autumn, I walked Walden Pond, one of my most treasured historic places.

September 22, 2024 Dear Readers, Fall is beginning to show its splendor bit by bit here along the coast of Maine.

Pam at Pemiquid Point, Maine The combination of the freshest air, delicious apples (just picked) and pumpkins populating the fields everywhere is breathtaking. As one gatekeeper said to me at a park recently when I asked him why he...
[TWE NEWS] Making Memories/Allison Finds Fuller/Sarah’s Secret Diaries/Strawberry Delight
July 26, 2024 Dear Readers, Those “Crazy, Lazy Days of Summer” are upon us, and it’s time to sing a song of cheer as the song says. It’s also time to make memories that will remain and inspire us throughout the year. I was remembering my exhilarating days in Ireland almost a year ago when I was in search of my dad's ancestors, the Burkes. Pam Burke in Ireland I rejoiced each time I came upon a pharmacy or a butcher’s shop with our name, thinking maybe long, lost relatives were inside. I found...
[TWE NEWS] Summer Unplugged/Karan’s Ode to Barbie/Stacey’s Orange Obsession/Tasty Tart or Torte?
July 3, 2024 Hello Reader, If there ever is a time of year to be unplugged from heat and the news, this is it! Temps are now over 110°, so it's time to seek higher ground here in Phoenix. And that I did by going north to Prescott, AZ, known for its cowboy history, historic downtown square and eateries filled with welcoming musicians, playing everything from banjo to honky-tonk to bluegrass. Pam recommends Grama's Bakery for tasty treats in Prescott, AZ. Hope you are able to unplug over this...

I can’t tell you how much fun and invigorating a recent one with former television production friends was for me. Seeing old colleagues was like going back in a time machine. I was fortunate to share the experience in Burbank, CA near my old NBC haunts with our TWE podcast host Stacey Gualandi, whom I have worked with for decades. If you get the chance, go to one or be an organizer. I guarantee laughter,...
