Recently, I've jumped on the Paleo bandwagon. In an effort to eat foods that will actually help me to feel better, the Paleo approach seems to be one that I can live with; and is not that far off from what I enjoy eating anyway. Of course, for me, the biggest challenge is that I … Continue reading Can’t Live Without This Ingredient

Martha, Martha, Martha
Martha has been friends with my sister Sue since they made their first communion together; it's been a long time! Over the years Sue would touch base with Martha, running into each other downtown or at a high school reunion. Sue would report back to us on Martha's life events; as we all do when … Continue reading Martha, Martha, Martha
Spelling Bee(s)
In elementary school, I loved it when every week my teacher would have a spelling bee; a clever way to give us a chance to practice the set of words that would be part of the weekly test. It was fun to be on a team; to be bummed out together if we lost and … Continue reading Spelling Bee(s)
Color Me Successful
I leafed through the book back in 1981 and took the associated tests to decide a possible career path. I'd already declared my major as elementary education but thought, maybe, I should check out all my options. When career counselor unveiled the results, I was most like to be a human resources administrator in a … Continue reading Color Me Successful

Also today, very few of you would know, that my husband is sick in bed. Do you know what that might … Continue reading Snow Blows, And Blows, And Blows

It's only recently that life has allowed me the quiet space to consider what that means. I'm coming to grips with the enormity … Continue reading I HAD CANCER!?

Everybody Loves Raymond
I'm one of a few people I know who actually doesn't mind the snow. Maybe it's the 10 years of living in northern New England that's helped; you put your boots on in October and take them off in May--you get used to it. Like most 9 to 5'ers today, I was outside pushing and pulling … Continue reading Everybody Loves Raymond
Driver’s Ed
We were sitting tonight watching the Big Bang Theory, the episode when Sheldon is forced to learn how to drive because no one can stand being his chauffeur. It got me thinking about how I learned to drive. I've mentioned before that I learned to drive a "standard" and had help from Lynne in that … Continue reading Driver’s Ed
