Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, frankly the entire interweb is teeming with all things Veterans' Day; as it should be! One of my Facebook friends, who I wrote about the other day, posted her take on the day. I'm not saying it's any more sincere than all the other thank you's that I've read today, but what … Continue reading Better Said Than I Could Have
What’s The Perfect Game?
I was never much of a fan for playing tennis. I didn't like chasing the balls so far if they were hit over the fence at the Y. I wanted the exercise but didn't want to waste time in between serves to retrieve one of the three balls that came in the can we'd bring … Continue reading What’s The Perfect Game?
My Sister, Sue
I will, at some point, over the course of the 365 days of this blog, post about each of my family members in one way or another. I've already begun by posting about my Auntie Tina, my brothers-in-law Jon and Paul, and my brother David. In case you don't know I have numerous brothers, sisters, … Continue reading My Sister, Sue
In the Blink of An Eye
York Steak House at the Warwick Mall had been my part-time job for two years. Four days after I graduated from high school, as I was working at this job I'd imagined was going to pay for my books and incidentals when I got to college in Vermont later that summer. It was fairly early in … Continue reading In the Blink of An Eye

So, I resort to the more traditional method using … Continue reading The Palmer Method

This is the 90th of my 365 posts; that feels good! Today's thank you goes out to my younger granddaughter, Coco. We don't hear … Continue reading Coco Love Letter #2
Hillary (No, not that one…)
...Although, I remember her saying once when she was making a reservation at a restaurant, she gave the name Hillary and they thought it was Hillary Clinton. True story. ******************************************************* Today I was sitting at my desk and got a call from the front desk. Elizabeth: "Kelly, you have a delivery of eggs down here." … Continue reading Hillary (No, not that one…)
Welcome Back from Your Vacation
When you're on vacation, does someone do your work for you? Are there little elves who take up residence at your desk and answer your email and phone messages? Is anyone considerate enough to check your mailbox to sort through and prioritize what you should address first when you settle back in on Monday morning … Continue reading Welcome Back from Your Vacation
Sunday Morning: Joel Osteen or Spongebob?
Whether we identify them as such or not, we all probably have a Sunday morning ritual. When I was living single, my Sunday morning routine included a cup of hot coffee, pancakes for one, and reading the Sunday paper; classifieds first, then the wedding notices, and finally the coupons. I've continued with variations on the … Continue reading Sunday Morning: Joel Osteen or Spongebob?
