AS I SEE IT

Healing starts after rough week

The bumblebee buzz of the Formula 1 cars on television is a welcome relief after the events of the past week.

Friend remembered for kindness

There are people who make an indelible impression on our lives. I lost one of those people last week.

Brother's wedding day was fun

We added another Diana to the family last week. My brother Michael got married to his soul mate, Diana. My other brother, David, was the best man and I was matron of honor.

Memories triggered by smells

Smell is a powerful thing.

Find something to laugh about

I was on my hands and knees recently, deep into a bed of irises and peonies, when I heard joyous laughter.

Daughter wants frivolous gift

Something frivolous. That was the answer when I asked my daughter what she wanted for her birthday. Something frivolous.

Columnist feels a little guilty

I have been feeling like a very bad daughter this week.

Excited to learn something new

It started with potatoes. A bunch of us were sitting around the table, whittling and creating a mess of wood chips.

Projects planned for visit

I am preparing for a trip to see the grandkids. We haven’t decided exactly when this will be, but I have decided it is time to start amassing projects to take with us.

Grandkids enjoy Midsummer Ball

I missed the first annual Midsummer Ball, but from all reports, it was a rousing success.

Words are a gentle reminder

My brother, David, and his wife, Apryl, stopped by last week. They had been at  Apryl’s parents’ place at Lake St. Mary’s and had called to see if we were going to be home.

There's no way to fully repay mom

I painted my mother’s garage door last week.

First cucumber is enjoyed

We picked our first cucumber of the year last week. It was delicious.

Toy box brings back memories

I cleaned out my daughter’s toy box yesterday in preparation for turning it over to her. It brought back so many memories.

Grandson curious about beans

I usually ask my daughter if she needs anything when I talk to her. Most of the time she says she doesn’t but once in awhile she will ask for the most unusual things. Today was one of those occasions.
