I'm so glad I'm not a dentist. How many times does someone say, 'Oh, Doc, it felt so good when you were drilling my teeth'? Never. But when you give someone a wonderful cookie, you put a little of yourself in, and you see someone's face light up - that's immediate approval.

I don't care what the haters and naysayers say. If they make jokes about me, I'll laugh because they'll probably be funny.

I don't want to spend my life not having good food going into my pie hole. That hole was made for pies.

I believe that everyone should be treated equal, that's the way I was raised and that's the way I live my life.

I loved my own Grandparents with all my heart. I learned important lessons from them about how to treat people, how to cook and how to work.....they showered us kids with love and left the parenting to Momma and Daddy. That's the beauty of being a grandparent - the hard work belongs to someone else. I guess I never really understood the depth of their love for me until I became a grandmother myself... it is unlike any other relationship.

You never know who you will meet along life's journey. You have to be open to risks, but calculated risks, open to winning.

You can have diabetes and have a piece of cake. You cannot have diabetes and eat a whole cake.
