AS I SEE IT

Celebrate Tootsie's birthday (02/23/2009)

This column is about Tootsie Rolls, which first came on the market on this date a long time ago.

Try to be green (03/09/2009)

It seems like I can't pick up any magazine these days without seeing an article promoting a green way of life.

Crocus marks end of winter (03/16/2009)

Winter is over for another year! I know the calendar says we have a few more days before spring officially arrives but the calendar has been wrong before. Besides, the calendar is something people made up to track time.

We can't protect all the time (03/02/2009)

It was an accident.

Grandparents have something to give (03/30/2009)

It has been more than a week since I saved Polly Pocket from the bathtub drain. I haven't taken any pictures of sleeping kittens wearing earrings this week. I haven't lost any sword fights, either.

Bad news helps puts things in perspective

"There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band ... One more sad story's one more than I can stand ..." A recent letter to the editor brought to mind these lines by Anne Murray in her song, "A Little Good News."

She is the proud grandmother of Jacob (3/23/09)

We have a new addition to the family. His name is Jacob.

She's lost without her laptop computer

My laptop computer at home is deathly ill.

Earth Day will be celebrated on Wednesday

Earth Day, Smurf Day. Officially Earth Day isn't until Wednesday and I'm already tired of it.

Flowers make her ask what's in a name anyway?

"What's the difference between a daffodil and a narcissus?" someone asked me recently.

Are pigs plotting to take over the world?

I think the pigs are out to rule the world.

Don't get depressed about spring showers

"Why is it that we get depressed when it rains? We should be happy that God is watering the flowers for us," my mother said the other day.

New pennies will depict Lincoln's life

Pennies are changing again. The humble little coin that nobody wants is getting a makeover.

Plans to be beamed up came crashing down

I was really looking forward to opening the cereal box.

Everyone needs to 'think they can'

"Mo-om! Do you have any idea how many times I had to read that book you sent to Emma?" my daughter asked me accusingly.
