AS I SEE IT

Birthday party was a chance to catch up

It was only the second time I had met her and she made it clear that she didn’t want anything to do with me.

Ornaments bring back fond memories

It is finally time to put away the Christmas decorations. As I remove the ornaments, I will think of the loved ones who made them.

Christmas memories can carry us through

Gracie, our calico cat, murdered a shepherd on Christmas night. I am not sure if it was premeditated or not but after she did it she glared at us as if daring us to correct her.

A feeling of kindness is in the air

Merry Christmas everybody!

Persevering brings positive results

“Monkey Donkey sat on a wall, Monkey Donkey had a great fall …”

Blended families spent holiday together

We spent Thanksgiving in Texas this year. This was partly to reassure my daughter that her mother was fine, a little misshapen, but fine. It was also to give us a break from worrying about doctors and cancer.

Trip will provide presents and reassurance

Can you believe this is the last day of November?

Thankfulness is at center of cancer issue

In this week dedicated to giving thanks, I have a lot to be thankful for.

Holidays rich with tradition

I can tell that the holidays are getting closer because I have already gotten a request for a Santa letter.

Holiday music should wait until leaves fall

“No!” I practically shouted. “I’m not ready yet.”

Glasses no longer hold the same stigma

Granddaughter Emma has her first pair of glasses.

It’s time for goblins and pumpkin carving

This is the time of year when “the goblins will git you if you don’t watch out!” The line is from a poem by poet James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916).

Life changes along with the seasons

My little witches are clamoring to be released from their box. I think the carved mummy and the tiny scarecrow figurine are encouraging them to come out and play.

Spend part of Columbus Day outdoors

Happy Columbus Day.

Festival was a fun end to summer

What a difference a day makes.
