If it is true one’s worries are what turns one’s hair gray, you’d see I worry, a lot. I think it is both hereditary and because I’m an educator (teachers never stop thinking about their students, even 20 years after they had them in class). My current worries, which are mainly due, but not entirely,… Continue reading I am a Worrier

Tasty Mistakes
You all know I love to cook and to bake. I’ve done a bit of those this week (Note to self: if going to cook, bake and eat, probably should do some exercise somewhere in there too). On the menu were banana bread, blueberry muffins, several quarts of pasta sauce, and a mistake bread—basil and… Continue reading Tasty Mistakes
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
What Are You Doing to Help During this Crisis?
Every day, as the Coronavirus cases increase, and more things are shut down, I keep wondering how can I help others out during this time. I’m worried about the people who are hourly and non-exempt who may not have sick time, don’t have benefits, who can’t take time off because they if they do they… Continue reading What Are You Doing to Help During this Crisis?
Yang Was Right!
Yesterday we started our exciting journey to finally meet our new grandson! When we arrived at the airport, after all the checking in and going through security, we wanted to get some snacks and some water for the plane. On the way to our gate, there is a snack souvenir bookstore combo along the way.… Continue reading Yang Was Right!
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…
We used to watch out for one another
Does art imitate life or life imitate art? One of our children is in color guard and we are DCI fans. Over the past couple of years it has been interesting to see the shift in the types of shows these groups do. Some of the shows involve what appears to be misogynistic tendencies, violence… Continue reading We used to watch out for one another
Checks and Fraud
You thought I was going to write about politics again, didn’t you? Not tonight. I’m taking it a little more personal this evening. It has been a day, and not just because of the Trumpists and the Department of Justice, and not because of the New Hampshire primary. It is about a deposited fraudulent check… Continue reading Checks and Fraud
Happy Thanksgiving!
I thought I’d get all my thanks in today as I’m taking a break from social media on Thanksgiving day. Here are the top things for which I am thankful in my life: My job, which came at just the right time. Finding one was a little rocky at the beginning of the move, especially… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
Make Your Bed!
Just ask my husband, I hate making the bed. I don’t see why it has to be crisp and proper every morning. We are just going to get back in and mess it up again in a few hours. It works perfectly fine to get up, throw the covers up so it isn’t a complete… Continue reading Make Your Bed!
