Everyday we hear of governors going on TV and stating all the things the Federal government isn’t doing. Many also let us know, because there is no national leadership, they are each bidding against one another for needed supplies to treat COVID-19. There is a National Governors Association to which I believe all governors belong… Continue reading Nationally, We are Leaderless. Why Aren’t Governors Uniting?

An Evening in the Yard
It was a beautiful day here. So warm in fact, we had to turn on the ceiling fan before we even got out of bed. The heat woke us up. Once up, we opened the windows and back door to let the warmth in and to enjoy the through breeze. Perfect day (well, would have… Continue reading An Evening in the Yard
Vegetable Gardening has Begun
In the midst of all that is happening with the global pandemic, we as humans, must also find some solace and happiness in the small things of life. It just can’t be gloom and doom everyday, all day, and still maintain our sanity and our emotional well-being.

How Are You Helping Others During the Pandemic?
I’m not writing this to boast or float my own boat. I’m writing today to provide ways one can help during this trying time, especially if you are still working because you can work from home. Today I volunteered for Gleaners Community Food Bank. Work is allowing us to volunteer at community agencies during our… Continue reading How Are You Helping Others During the Pandemic?
I am a Worrier
If it is true one’s worries are what turns one’s hair gray, you’d see I worry, a lot.

My current worries, which are mainly due, but not entirely,… Continue reading I am a Worrier
20,000 and Counting
It seems just yesterday we were watching China locking down Wuhan Province, then the whole of Italy shuttering its doors. Now we are watching Coronavirus unfold in our own U.S. of A. while wondering how it could happen here on such a large scale. I’ve already talked about that topic in this space, and won’t… Continue reading 20,000 and Counting

A couple of days ago I wrote Part I of this post. Boy what a couple of days will do in a pandemic! A couple of days ago, we had fewer than 1,000 cases nationwide. A few days ago, we had fewer than 50 deaths nationwide. A few days ago, we had fewer than 10… Continue reading For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus II
Home Is…
As we are unpacking our boxes—yes, we still have many to go—I keep thinking about what it is that makes a home. I mean a house is a house, and a home can be a house, but can a house be home? In my thoughts, home as house is true, but house as home is… Continue reading Home Is…
Just Missed a Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans
Today I head home from a meeting in New Orleans. It was great fun and I laughed a lot with friends I don’t see often. Also got to know some coworkers a little better. Always interesting how I can sit two seats away from someone at the office, but it takes leaving the office to… Continue reading Just Missed a Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans
