AS I SEE IT

Likes, dislikes change as folks age

The majority of the planting has been done. I have already replaced or replanted the marigolds and tomatoes that the squirrels have pulled up. I blame it on the squirrels but it could be any of the other animals that frequent the lawn.

Wild turkey brightened up evening

We are used to living things taking a shortcut through the yard.

Technological advances keep moving

We finally went car shopping. We have been putting it off for over a year.

Warmer weather brings joy, life

What a beautiful weekend. It feels so good to open the windows and let the fresh air into the house. It feels even better to walk around barefoot and not have frozen toes.

Post office mishap reunited family

That was a long drive but it was worth it. Our niece’s daughter, Isabella, is a Girl Scout. We all know that Girl Scouts sell cookies. Being good aunts and uncles, we ordered our favorites. After the cookies came we sent a check to pay for the treats plus postage.

All of us are more alike than different

I recently received a new picture of my grandson, Jacob. He was holding a snake.

Change isn’t always different

I have heard a saying that goes something like, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

Regardless, tomorrow will come

Much of the country has experienced wild weather these last few months. Other than a few bouts of bitter cold and the first tornados of the season, the weather where l live has been relatively nice.

Wedding anniversary approaches

Our anniversary is in a couple of days.

Home is where your heart lives

I think we have finally convinced the birds to go somewhere else to build a nest. For several weeks we have watched a pair of birds fly straight at the bathroom window. We were convinced that they were suicidal and would change their minds at the last minute.

New energy comes with spring

According to the calendar, winter is officially over. It is springtime.

Grandchild’s birthday is fast approaching

Our middle grandchild is having a birthday soon.

Woodcarving show was entertaining

March certainly came in like a lion at our house.

Spring is right around the corner

I was surprised the other day.

Some folks are more memorable

Have you ever wondered why we remember certain people and not others?
