AS I SEE IT

Should a 'free' education cost?

It is that time of year again when I am struck by just how different it was to grow up in Ohio in the fifties and sixties and how it is to live in Indiana in the 2000's. 

Vacations are a time to vary your routine

It won't be long now.

Sometimes memory takes better photos

We took lots of pictures when we went to visit our daughter, Beth, and her kids recently.

Family and flea markets made fun day

I am now the proud owner of a multi-colored dragon.

The perils of chasing miniature horses

I positively hate calls that come after I am asleep.

Indian summer should be enjoyed outside

This is one of those Indian Summer days where I wish I had an outside job inspecting trails or something similar.

Halloween has turned into major holiday

It is somehow fitting that next week begins with Halloween and continues on with election day.

Afternoon was enjoyed with a typical teen

Picture a typical teen boy who is growing so quickly that he is surely a few inches taller than he was when you first started reading this.

Make the most of warm autumn days

The weather lately has been wonderful. I spent an entire afternoon last week piddling around outside just because it was too beautiful to waste the warmth by doing housework.

Rosy cheeks cause panic to daughter

I received a rather panicky phone call this morning.

Food for thought at family gathering

“”Oh yeah,” I retorted, “Did you know there is a Bureau of Lost Socks? I can throw out obscure facts with the best of them.”

Trying new things is cure for boredom

I made a trip to Mom’s this weekend.

Closet contains memories

My husband and I were reminded of our advancing ages when we went out to eat recently.

Good intentions can take another direction

Did you know that if a two-liter bottle of Diet Pepsi falls off a car trunk the cap will pop off and the contents will cover at least half the driveway with frozen pop before hiding the container behind the front wheel of the car?

Christmas traditions change over time

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
