AS I SEE IT

Only time can determine our tales

Sometimes I wonder what stories our children and grandchildren will tell their own progeny.

Put voting before holidays

Now that Halloween is over the Christmas ads have begun. But before you go shopping for that perfect gift that turns out to be not so perfect after all, we have a few other things to take care of first. 

Halloween is time to confront fears

I feel a little like Bunny Foo Foo this week. 

Children’s self-confidence is a gift

Granddaughter Emma is going to be in her first school play. 

Fall day with friends was satisfying

It was a beautiful morning when we set out for a long drive to Wilmington, Ohio, to attend the annual Artistry in Wood show.

Indulge in the spirit of Halloween

Halloween came early this year.

Time slows for critical moments

October already? Time keeps going faster and faster these days. 

Enjoy the warmth while you can

The calendar says it is officially autumn.

Celebration brings family together

She doesn't need any more toys, my sister-in-law, Sue, told me when I asked what to get for her granddaughter's birthday. 

Rainy days are to be savored, to a point

It is a deliciously rainy day, the kind that is perfect for a good book, a cup of tea, and a cat in my lap.

Let's look beyond the petty things

A while back I read that someone was planning to open a new restaurant in town.  

Times change, even if clock doesn’t

We are on the lookout for a new clock. 

Value is in the memories

"Do you remember when Grandma almost tipped the tractor over?" one of my brothers asked awhile back when we were walking through endless rows of tractors. 

Flowers, tractors, garage sales in bloom

This is the time of year when the golf carts come into bloom along with the pink lilies that are in almost every yard.

Trust a calico cat? Don’t think so

Never trust a calico cat.
