Significance of the Name


My Blog’s name is a tribute to my Dad & my Husband. My Dad because he used to sing the song to me, "How 'd You Like to Swing on a Star?" It's about reaching for your dreams, you can stay where you are & be safe OR YOU CAN SWING ON STAR. Stars also refer to a difficult night just after my husband died. I was talking to him (I often do.) & said how I missed his "I Love You's". That night he gave me a dream... a gorgeous, bright blue night sky filled with thousands of stars, in the middle the stars formed an "I LOVE YOU"....such a gift on so many levels.

So "follow your own path, & don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest”

Friday, April 13, 2007 - A loving tribute

5 Years ago today I lost the most incredible, thoughtful, fun-loving, loving man, my husband Fred. 
He gave me my dreams. He was full of great fun and made me laugh and laugh. A devoted father who was always there for us.



Many meals of steamed crabs with great friends....

 Absolutely Loved Coaching....


Best times ever were at the beach
 Dancing with our daughter when she was little......
Dancing with her at Bry and Jenny's wedding when she was big....

 All Star Game in Pgh.....one of Dani's favorite pics....
Sea Isle with the Scheimers....here with son Bry....teasing Fred cause Bry was taller...
 We meant on a blind date on a Friday arranged by a friend. 2nd date spent Sunday with he and Bry ending with dinner at Fred's and discussed marriage that night. A week later engaged, 6 weeks later married.....he came into my life quickly and after 22 years left that way too......


Miss You Honey.....I Love You in the Stars. (See Explanation Top of Page)

    I just love the last photo of the two of you! What a lovely tribute to your husband. It is a wonderful reminder to all of us that we should "swing from a star".
