As I See It
Surprise made daughter’s birthday
What a wonderful few days I have had. Our son-in-law, Duston, arranged for my daughter, Beth, to have a birthday like no other.
Presence is birthday present
Today is my daughter Beth's birthday.
Be careful on golf carts
We almost killed somebody last week.
There’s always some project to do
The neighbor’s cat was sitting a few inches from the screen door and staring at me when I opened the front door the other morning.
Holiday is a reminder to live life to the fullest
Yesterday was Memorial Day again. I remember that we always called it Decoration Day.
Concept of time fades as life continues
For some reason I wrote next week’s column this afternoon instead of writing this week’s column. Apparently, I either can no longer read a calendar, or maybe I am ahead of time.
Farmers market offers variety of goods
Last Saturday we stopped at the first farmers market of the year. It's too early in the season for most vegetables but I wanted to see what they had.
Being someone’s ‘favorite’ is reassuring
“I’m your favorite,” grandson Nicky told me. I stumbled a little before telling him that he was right. He is my favorite. So are his siblings and my family up north. They are all my favorite people.
Life unfolds with various milestones
It was a good weekend. The flower beds are in their full glory. There was just enough rain that I didn’t feel the temptation to weed.
The weekend brought mixed news
It was a beautiful weekend. The weather was warm and sunny. Almost all of the spring flowers were in their full glory. Those that weren't will bloom soon.
Harvest the vegetables you enjoy
Someone asked me how I choose what to say every week. I usually say, “Deadlines.” They always think I’m joking. I’m not.
Springtime brings a long to-do list
I sure hope the weatherman is right about the upcoming temperatures this week.
Years together have gone by quickly
Only two more days until our 43rd anniversary. There will be no huge parties, just a trip to a favorite restaurant. We will reminisce about the last years and express surprise at how fast it has gone.
Family helped take care of stranger
How many times do you make a memory that you are sure your children will remember for the rest of their lives?
Anniversaries are for recalling earlier times
We helped a cousin and her husband celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this past weekend. They are a year or two younger than me.
