AS I SEE IT

Grandson wins busting ribbon

“Jacob rides at seven,” read the terse note.

Photographs brighten the day

I never lost faith, but I will have to admit that when the call finally came, it was a complete surprise.

Life has changed in 35 years

Thirty-five years ago I was working at Borden’s Dairy in Dayton, Ohio.

Moms deserve thanks

Mother’s Day is coming up quickly.

Easter is enjoyable

The last time I sat on the Easter Bunny’s lap, I looked into his mesh-covered eyes and exclaimed, “There’s a man in there!”

Search led to memories

It was a beautiful day.

Birthday party will be small

I’m heading to Mom’s today for the third time in two weeks.

Decision needs to be made

It seems that last winter’s casualties are multiplying.

Spent evening catching up

The call came out of the blue, as it usually does.

Time with mom is precious

Sometimes I forget how long everything takes.

Kids delighted by museum

“We’re going to the see-um! Do you want to come with us?” three-year-old Nicholas excitedly asked his grandfather.

All kids should live carefree

The last time I talked to my daughter I found out that their school is out for the summer. Granddaughter Emma was asked what her plans were for her vacation. She said she was going to carve boats out of soap and race them down the creek.

Trips were full of surprises

“Can we go down to the creek?” It was to be the first of many requests while we were on our recent visit to the grandchildren.
