As a lawyer, you have to present a certain image to your clients, especially corporate clients. The right dress or suit. Appropriate hair and make-up. I have to confess that on the latter, I was an epic fail as I never really wore make-up. My laptop also had to look professional which meant nothing personal on it even though it was my personal laptop I was using at the time. Now that I’m retired, I realized that there was nothing wrong with personalizing it to reflect who I am now! Thanks to my daughter for the inspiration also! Here it is:
Senior Photo #ThrowbackThursday
I love seeing people’s throwbacks to another time. It’s fun to see how things have changed and also how much they’ve stayed the same (or at least we like to think they have). My throwback today is to my senior photo from high school. I grew up in Levittown which had three different public high schools, four if you consider Island Trees which was also in Levittown but not part of our school district. I went to Levittown Memorial High School which is no longer a functioning high school. The building still exists though and is being used by the Board of Education as a career and technical center. Our school colors were red and black and our mascot was a Panther.
Miami Seaquarium #ThrowbackThursday
The other day I shared some of my fav places in Miami with you and so I thought I’d share this photo with you today! We took it during a spring vacation at the Miami Seaquarium. We had so much fun there and hanging out in South Beach and on Calle Ocho.
Elementary School #ThrowbackThursday
Part of what I’ve been doing now that we’ve downsized is gathering and scanning old photos in order to preserve them. I’ve found some fun photos that brought back memories of growing up in Queens and then Levittown. I’m pretty sure this is an elementary school photo, probably first or second grade. I did those two grades and third grade in Queens before we moved to Levittown. I seem to be wearing red in a lot of those early school photos I guess because red is my favorite color!
Colorado Dreaming #ThrowbackThursday
I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Denver for the 2018 Romance Writers National Conference. When I wasn’t going to workshops or networking, I made it a point to explore the city. Little did I know that a few years later I’d be setting a novel there! I loved being able to include some of my real-life experiences in Denver in COLD CASE REOPENED. I think being able to visit a place gives you insights that you can’t just get from research, but like I said, I was lucky to be able to visit. This is a photo of the state capitol in Denver.
#ThrowbackThursday – To Catch a Princess
This is one of my fav books of all time. Glamorous Monaco. Hair-raising suspense. A cat burglar and crown jewels waiting to be snatched. A prince in hiding and of course, romance. I just loved writing TO CATCH A PRINCESS and I hope you’ll take a moment to check it out at https://www.caridad.com/books/suspense/to-catch-a-princess/.
First Christmas – #ThrowbackThursday
With Christmas just having passed, I thought I’d share a photo of our first Christmas with a new baby! It was such an exciting time since we’d also just finished a major home renovation the day before the baby was born. Lots of fun. Not! LOL. Hope you all have a fabulous New Year’s Eve and wishing you all the best for 2021.
