Tonight, Steve and I started classes at DCYF to become foster parents for (and perhaps adopt) a child in "state care". We've toyed with the idea of foster care or adoption for a while. In Rhode Island there are a couple thousand kids at any time in need of more than a place, they're in … Continue reading All It’s Cracked Up to Be, Exactly As I Expected

I’m Afraid of Old People
I'm afraid of old people. Well, not really. It's just that I never really had spent time with the elderly. Other than my grandmother, my experience with anyone older than my parents was limited. The summer of 1995 I was what one might consider "underemployed". I'd quit a job without another one to go to, … Continue reading I’m Afraid of Old People

Fire Marshal Judy
When I saw today's daily prompt from WordPress, I thought of my sister Judy. She has a quirky habit, in fact we tease her that it borders on OCD. This habit of hers goes way back; as far as I can remember in our adult lives, anyway. We lived together for a couple of years … Continue reading Fire Marshal Judy

When and Where I Do My Best Thinking, I Think
The daily prompt today: When and where do you do your best thinking, got me thinking about...thinking. Thoughts are quite constantly running through my head. I have to put my earphones on at night and listen to music (no lyrics) before I sleep, to quiet my mind and let go of my thoughts. I would … Continue reading When and Where I Do My Best Thinking, I Think
It’s Movie Night
Who doesn't enjoy the movies? From the time I was young and the family would pile into the Chevy station wagon to head to the drive-in on a summer weekend night, I've loved seeing movies on the big screen. The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes, Herbie the Love Bug, Mary Poppins, all seen on the wide open … Continue reading It’s Movie Night
A Hot Cup of Liquid Love (The Chocolate Kind) and Good Book!
It's c..c...c..c...cold outside, I'm f...f...f...freezing! Days like the one we're having here in Rhode Island, were the norm for me when I was living in Vermont and New Hampshire. The wind whips though you as if all you're wearing is summer cotton dress, even though you're bundled up like the little brother in the popular holiday … Continue reading A Hot Cup of Liquid Love (The Chocolate Kind) and Good Book!
