If you could relive the past week, would you? Would you change anything? NO. Nothing. It was a busy week, at home and at work. Demanding both emotionally and energetically. By the time Friday came along I was looking forward to an overnight getaway with my sisters to celebrate a birthday. New dress was bought, … Continue reading Groundhog Week? No, Not Again

The Oldest Married Couple
My sister sent me an email today with this story: "My grouchy elderly neighbor, Mr. N, told me that he and his wife celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Saturday night with a big family party.

Summer Solstice–Kevin’s Day
Today’s Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). How are you taking advantage of the extra hours of light this time of year?

Have you heard the one about the women who, when she cooked a ham, always cut the ends off before she put it in the oven? It goes something like … Continue reading The Ends of the Ham
Andy, He Makes My Mother Happy
The first time I met Andy was at my nephew's Court of Honor for his Eagle Scout; I didn't know I was going to meet him that day. I saw him holding my Mom's hand when I walked into the room. I turned to my brother Bill and said with all the annoyance and indignation … Continue reading Andy, He Makes My Mother Happy
Beyond the Smile (Weekly Photo Challenge-2)
This is one of my favorite pictures of Kash, our grandson, when he lived with us. He was out for the day with Aunt Sue and Uncle Paulie, at the Crescent Park Carousel. He had such a blast!
