Music
The other night I watched the Edinburgh military tattoo.. Im really a pacifist and I don’t agree with the politics but I love to watch for the wonderful historical costumes and the music..

Vacation!!!
Where is your favorite place that you’ve vacationed?

Looking Forward to Season 6 of "Dr. Quinn"
Hey there, my name is Regan.
There is a great deal of drama shows that reflect the medical field. Being a nurse at the Maine Medical Center in the city of Portland, I give thanks to the many production companies who create their stories in this setting. However, one show that really stands out among others is Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. The show offers more than just medical drama with a hint of romance inbetween. It sets in the 1860’s and 70’s, which reflects the discrimination that women faced during that time period. The main character, Michaela Quinn,…
