It was heartwarming to see a flag placed on my Dad's grave again this Memorial Day. Thank you to those who make that happen. My Dad was proud to serve. He loved this country. I'm proud to have been his daughter.

@rockmeannadeus You hate turtle necks! Still not happening.

Started a sewing business making handmade tote bags sold at top gift stores in RI/MA. A VP from @BostonInteriors offered furniture swatches. They recycle, I upcycle—now they let me use their name to market these incredible bags.

Wow!.. This hit me hard... My dad is 73, & let's just say I'll answer every call/text from now on.....😢

Throwback to Chevrolet’s first non-woke, deeply emotional Christmas ad.

I mean it when I say it’s impossible to watch without tearing up.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone 🎄

Once again on this Veteran's Day, I want to say thanks to my dad and all the others who put all of us and our country before themselves. We are where we are because of them.

@PopBase Hilarious. So her......

I had the opportunity to take gorgeous sample swatches from a famous interior design store, scheduled to be discarded. I have created my "Rescue Bags" that are 100% upcycled swatches and amazing.
Any suggestions on how I might sell them? You can see them on IG@noraganimbarnes

Today I saw that an American flag had been put on my dad's US Service Memorial Plaque. It's hard to describe the gratitude and pride I feel. Thanks to my dad and all those who answered the call. He was a good soldier and a great dad......

A heartfelt wish for all those who are a moms (or like moms) that you took a minute today to appreciate that you know what love looks like close up. We love and are loved. It doesn't get any better than that. Happy Mother's Day.....

Like so many others, my life changed in 2020. While I still do marketing research projects, I started my own business using very different skills! I sew beautiful, reversible bags that are for sale in several stores as well as from me directly. Take a look! IGnoraganimbarnes

My dad fought for our country and was proud of his service. I am proud to have known such a strong, patriotic man. He was a dedicated soldier and an even more dedicated dad. I am grateful to all who have served. Thank you for your service.

Today @citi I was told today that the 2 notarized letters, hours on the phone, and constant conversation with the CS team over the last 6 weeks has not been enough to unfreeze an account. Trust me, @citi has no interest in solving problems.

[NoraBarnes @NoraBarnes]

It's now been 6 weeks and 2 notarized letter to @Citi to get a simple request processed. Holding accounts hostage is unacceptable. You may want to avoid doing business with them. We will in the future!

[NoraBarnes @NoraBarnes]

@CowboysDubs That’s great!!

[NoraBarnes @NoraBarnes]

Don’t do business w @Citibank if you expect good customer service. Our simple account request has now taken a notarized letter, hours on the phone, and several promises from “supervisors” over the past month. Sad to resort to legal help.

Bill Walton visited @UMassD to help raise $$ for scholarships. He signed basketballs, books and shirts. He shared so many stories and stayed to watch the Celtics game that night after the event. Imagine watching a Celtics game with Bill Walton commenting!
Thanks Bill #RIP!

It was an honor to see my dad's grave with the American flag on his service plaque. He was so proud to serve in military intelligence, learn languages and travel through Europe. We remember him everyday, but especially on Memorial Day. Thanks Dad for your service!
