AS I SEE IT

Cell phones need a phone book

I hate cell phones.

It takes more than luck

Last week I was in line for ice cream at the fair when I saw a pretty baby girl behind me.

Attitude doesn't help columnist

I really should have known better.

Machines inspire stories

I was messing around on the internet the other day and decided to check out the first place I ever lived.

Don't change on one opinion

Thank goodness it was a false alarm.

Don't put off getting yearly mammogram

I’m going to get smashed today and I’m not looking forward to it.

Conversation lightens mood

I was feeling more than a little morose last week. The weather had changed from scorching to chilly and gloomy overnight and did nothing to help my mood.

Weddings are reminders

We have a wedding to attend this weekend.

Antibiotics found in cockroaches

Cockroach brains. It was the last thing I expected to encounter in the hallway.

Smoke alarms may emit odor

My baby brother thinks I stink.

Artisans love to share their passion

It was so windy last weekend I almost expected Dorothy and her little dog, Toto, to soar by. I didn’t see any flying houses but a tent did catch the breeze and had to be relocated. I was attending a fall festival at the time.

Early Halloween celebrated

It was a dark and not stormy night. No thunder rolled across the sky. No lightning flashed. A dog barked in the distance, then another and another.

Remembering Thanksgivings past

Thanksgiving has already begun. 

Missing days with grandchildren

What a difference a week makes. Last week we sat outside in our bare feet holding a baby and watching small children play in the yard. What grass was growing was still green. The air was warm and the skies were sunny.

She needs answers for planning

Thanksgiving is over and the questions have begun.
