Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun Happy Easter. It is the most joyful and religious day in the Christian calendar. On this holy day, I have to think of my Aunt Eleanor.

Fred Astaire Studios of New Jersey held their annual 'practice day' where the students had the opportunity to showcase the dances they had learned. With no specific choreography we were called to master dances with our dance partner, so the music and the steps were unscripted. It was the...

Joanne's Sunday perks Dental tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun Friday, March 20 was the first day of spring, but the residents of New Jersey are waiting for the weather to cooperate.

Joanne's Valentine's Day Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun 'Love is patient and kind; love is never jealous, or conceited, or proud, or provoked; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil but is pleased with the truth.

Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun Does life ever seem like Groundhog Day? Every year the same thing happens; I forget the event, and then without fail on February second, I see it live on TV from Gobbler's Knob in the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. I do not seek it out; it simply appears on the news while I'm having my morning coffee. Does anyone else think the whole thing is crazy? I suspect Punxsutawney Phil does.
