Lessons from Lucy
I am a big fan of humorist Dave Barry. My very favorite piece of his is “Bang the Tupperware Drum Slowly.” Stop now, Google it and enjoy. One of his most recent books, Lessons from Lucy, not only features that Dave Barry wit and humor I love, but also includes touching stories and life lessons he’s learned from his dog, Lucy. It’s an easy read, a touching read, and contains such simple lessons we all need to be reminded of. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy today. DaveBarry.com

Tai Jewelry
My older recently had her wisdom teeth removed. I had a lot of time to kill in the waiting room, and I was thrilled with the collection of magazines they had on hand. I was able to catch up on the last several months of Oprah’s magazine. In one issue, she featured a monogram necklace from Tai Jewelry. It caught my attention, and I ordered one for my mom for her birthday. What a fun, colorful piece! Makes a great gift for Mother’s Day or any special occasion! TaiJewelry.com
Visor
Much to my girls’ chagrin, I wear a visor when out in the sun to keep the rays off my face. My trusty old visor from Big Cedar Lodge recently fell apart, so it was time for something new. I’m a review reader, and after looking through many options, landed on the Sunday Afternoon’s Aero Visor. It’s a nice fit, wicks away moisture from your forehead, contains sun protection, folds for easy packing and has a place to lock in sunglasses. While I’ll never be called stylish, this is probably the most stylish visor I’ve owned! Amazon.com
Jazzoo
Yes, I wrote about this last month. After we sent the April issue to print, we got word that Jazzoo was postponed. I’m happy to share that the new date is August 28. Great news! You now have plenty of time to secure a ticket for this fun event. As I mentioned earlier, not only can you enjoy live music from local bands, the zoo train and animals, but you’ll also enjoy samples from many local restaurants. Tons of great food and libations to try. New month, same Jazzoo fun! JazzooKC.org
