My husband, Kirk Miller is rarely wrong. I learned very early on that his instincts were as good as mine if not better, his warmth and generosity of spirit equalled or surpassed mine. I am also constantly reminded that he never has a hidden agenda – and I often do! He is the smartest man I know, and had more style than anyone on the planet. He was born and bred in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has the integrity, grace, charm and the refined good looks that everyone imagines a British gentleman would possess.

The Donna Reed Show is an American sitcom which aired on ABC from September 24, 1958 to March 19, 1966. The series stars Donna Reed as Donna Stone, the matriarch of the Stone family. The series was developed by Reed and her then-husband, producer Tony Owen. Its premise focused on middle class couple, Donna Stone (Reed), a housewife to pediatrician Alex Stone, played by Carl Betz. The couple had two children together, Mary (Shelley Fabares) and Jeff (Paul Petersen). Episodes featured problems of the 1950s such as planning a bash for a retiring colleague, firing an inept housekeeper, and finding quality time away from the kids. Below is a favorite episode of mine titled “The Ideal Wife.”
