AS I SEE IT
Pink is a stark reminder
It’s I Hate Pink month. Or is that only me? I have looked on several websites that list October holidays and not a single one listed I Hate Pink month. I don’t understand how all of them could have missed it.
Surprise frog landing made her happy
I was repotting plants when I felt a leaf fall on my bare foot.
People watching is a favorite pastime
I was really hoping to sell at least one carving at the Heritage Fest this past weekend. Alas, it was not to be. Every single carving I brought returned home with me.
Friend invited her to learn an ancient art
I think I have been secretly adopted, either that or I am a project my friend has taken on. She recently took me to a class on basket weaving at her church.
Today marks anniversary of tragedies
Here we go again. For some reason this time of year is when Mother Nature and the forces of the universe seem to have a hissy fit. Perhaps they don’t want summer to end?
Family was part of Texas rescue effort
I spent last week watching the news and worrying. Hurricane Harvey was dangerously close to my daughter and her family. Thankfully, they are all unscathed.
Flea market items reminded her of mom
Once again, I would rather be shopping for something that hasn’t been made in decades than contemplating putting flowers on my mother’s grave.
Week is full of golf carts and garage sales
Are you ready for the invasion of the golf carts?
It’s comforting knowing neighbors care
“Thanks for checking on my mom,” the teller said recently as our cash came rattling through the drive-up machine. We muttered some pleasantries in reply and went on our way.

I have finally given up and am shopping for a new vacuum cleaner. The one we have is past its prime.
Thinking of others changed her mood
It was a simple thing. A bag of cookies had been left hanging on my door. But as delicious as the cookies were, the other thing in the bag made all the difference in the world.
Grandson's glasses bring new experiences
In a couple of weeks the second one of my grandchildren will be blessed with a new pair of glasses. The youngest, Nicholas, picked out his frames this past week. The pattern? Camouflage. What else?
Grandchildren are fearless of alligators
“Tell me what you see,” my daughter, Beth, asked her middle child, Jacob, who was leaning over a pier.
Visiting takes priority over doing chores
It was a nice weekend. It began with a deliciously rainy Friday. I was so glad I could stay inside where it was dry. Gracie, the calico cat, spent much of the time hiding under a chair. She does not share my love of rain.
Our great nation is worthy of celebrating
It is almost the Fourth of July. I can tell this because random booms have been startling the cat for more than a week. It will be at least another week before quiet returns to my little corner of the world.
