AS I SEE IT

Baking helps soothe her soul

I’m baking this weekend: chocolate cake and snicker doodles and maybe even some bread.

Enjoying early spring

Spring doesn’t officially begin until March 20.

Making gingerbread was messy, fun

“Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread Man!” was the phrase going through my mind on a recent Sunday afternoon.

Mood unpredictable as the weather

My mood this past week has been as capricious as the weather.

Missing baby hugs, slobber kisses

We went to Texas a week or so ago to spend some time with the grandkids and their parents.

Different roles create crisis

I’ve been having an identity crisis lately. On our last trip to see the grandkids, Jacob, the newly turned three-year-old, insisted on calling me Grandpa. Yeah, you read that right. Grandpa.

Dreary day turned out perfectly

It could have been just another dreary day but somehow it turned out to be wonderful.

Moon will guide her planting

I am both dreading and looking forward to going to my mother’s this weekend to celebrate my youngest brother’s birthday.

Greenhouse tour was enjoyable

It was a cold, grey morning when I set out to find the greenhouse that was hosting a tour for aspiring Master Gardeners this past weekend.

Wearing ring gives her courage

It’s just a piece of metal with little sparkly things attached to it.

Gardening will make mom happy

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend.

Website brings back memories

I happened upon an intriguing headline the other day.

A note would mean more

I never thought I’d say it, but enough with the kittens!

Support helped niece find success

I first met Sara when she was a precocious raven-haired beauty who had only been on this earth for two short years.

Take time off to make memories

I had the flowerbeds and vegetable garden under control before we left to spend a week in Texas with the grandchildren.
