In training for holidays due to gift

All aboard!It’s time for a Christmas train ride.

Grandchild is the perfect gift

The email was waiting for us the morning before Christmas.

Christmas fun is in the anticipation

Friday’s the day.Though Christmas is obviously the most important day of the holiday season, for years I’ve thought of Dec. 20 as the most exciting.

Ride brought youthful feeling

It was a Saturday night, and we were in Boston visiting two out of three daughters over the Thanksgiving holiday.

If only the car hadn’t started.It was Christmas morning 30 years ago, December 1983.

Maybe I’ve been watching too much HGTV, but I’m beginning to worry about the possibility of a future shortage of granite.

Every moment we have is precious

Something about it rang a bell.

The Beatles were not to be missed

The 50th anniversary of the first appearance by the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show has been noted just about everywhere this week, and rightly so. It was a watershed moment for a generation.

Lunch with the birds is a delight

They shouldn’t really be here, but they keep hanging around.

Ladders have never bothered me.

There’s something about extreme weather that prompts memories of extreme weather.

Decorations could brighten winter

At long last, things are a little less festive at our house.

Sometimes you read a sale bill and know instantly that you should — under no circumstances — go to that sale.

Animosity in line went overboard

At least the lady from Group 5 didn’t hijack the plane.

The naming tradition is ongoing

Maybe this will be the year we get to Glen Morris.
