AS I SEE IT

Pains of fixing up old house (7/12/04)

I used to think that arched windows were attractive. That was before I went out to the kitchen to fix supper last night and noticed that the windowsill had a big enough bow in it to be mistaken for a miniature mountain.

Storing up for winter (8/30/04)

Squirrels stock up on nuts in the fall.

Mom getting ready for surgery (9/13/04)

Friday the thirteenth comes on a Monday this month. I hope that isn’t unlucky as my mother is scheduled to have a stent put in on that day.

Staples and medical miracles (9/27/04)

By the time you read this the last of the family members should be out of the hospital, except for the one who works there, of course. She doesn’t count.

Chain stores can't compare (10/4/04)

Potting soil. It’s the last thing I have added to my list of odds and ends to pick up from the store.

Care Bears or pink flamingos? (9/20/04)

The scraggliest cactus I own is now displaying fantastic frilly flowers but only at night.

Flowers an ancient custom

I have to order flowers today. I do not want to be doing this but it is a necessary thing. My friend has died.

Fall a good time to get lost (10/18/04)

This would be a perfect time to get lost in the woods.

How quickly things can change

Sometimes I feel like Rip Van Winkle. You remember him. He fell asleep and when he finally woke up 20 years later, everything had changed.

Glad election is almost over

I am really looking forward to the upcoming holiday. No, not Thanksgiving or even Christmas. I will be eternally grateful when election day arrives tomorrow.

Election good for people watching (11/8/04)

Last week’s election was a perfect opportunity to enjoy one of my favorite activities - people watching.

Best toys require imagination (11/15/04)

I spent last Sunday pushing a little red wagon up and down the sidewalk in front of my mother’s house.

Thanksgiving more than potatoes (11/22/04)

My daughter is making the mashed potatoes this year for Thanksgiving.

Time well spent

Kristian is living proof that being born with one’s intestines on the outside of the body does not prevent a baby from wiggling.

As real as you want it to be (12/20/04)

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he still has room in his sleigh for a few more presents.
