I’m pretty much the Queen of Amazon Prime. I order half of what I buy through Amazon, even my groceries. I get so many smiling boxes at my door I can scarce remember what’s in them. Recently I picked Breezy up from school and brought her to my house. She wanted to open the daily delivery so I said, “sure.” I don’t remember what was … Continue reading An Early Birthday Gift
The girls were out of school for the entire week of Thanksgiving. They spent from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon with Gigi and Papa. We had so much fun. We made Christmas gifts–paintings, flour and salt ornaments, glittery pine cones, boxes, and more. Our ornaments turned out kind of puffy. The dough was dry so we added more water. The dough was too wet so … Continue reading Thanksgiving Fun with Family
I don’t know about you, but I have had enough of politics this year. Regardless of your leanings, these mid-term elections were ugly, ugly, ugly. I need a break. Fortunately I found it on Saturday with a Veteran’s Day program at our fairgrounds. Many of the elementary schools had back-to-back concerts. It was delightful. I got there early so as to get a good seat … Continue reading Veteran’s Day Celebration
I pushed through the door of the cardio movie room and out into the gym. An elderly woman asked me, “What are they doing in there?” “They are buffing the floor,” I answered. “Can we still workout in there?” she followed. I replied, “There’s still one girl in there. I guess you could ask them.” I don’t usually engage in conversation with people in the … Continue reading Do what makes you happy!

2017 has been the second worst year of my life. I am just beginning to dig my way out of the destruction and to rebuild. I am trying to fit the events into some sort of framework with the rest of my life, to see the bigger picture. I am seeking understanding. Amidst all the darkness of the year, there lives a little girl who … Continue reading Discovering the meaning of life
Although it seems “Green and Eggs and Ham” has been around my entire life, in actuality it was not published until I was two. It was published in 1960. In 1957 Random House published “The Cat and the Hat” by Dr. Seuss; in it he used 225 different words. His publisher bet him he could not write a book with fewer. He penned “Green Eggs … Continue reading The brilliant Theodor Seuss Giesel
I have been suffering from severe writer’s block as of late. I have nothing to say. But a trip to first grade on yesterday seems worthy of at least a few words. Breezy attends a charter school where they have no cafeteria. Guests wait in the lobby until they are accompanied by their host to the classroom to eat. Breezy herself came to walk me … Continue reading A few minutes in first grade
