I didn’t think it would affect me like this. After all, so many events have taken place since that awful day when we realized we were so very vulnerable. I thought the fact that there was an Ocean bordering either side of us, and that this country...
Friday Night Fun and Games
posted 9 months ago | 0 comments
It was a crazy night last night. The fourth graders were to sing the National Anthem at the U of Miami/FSU baseball game. After a perfectly sunny day, it started to pour about 3:30. My bus home came just as the heavens were ready to open up. Howev...

I had this opportunity four years ago. I came in to interview to fill in for a fourth grade teacher whose husband had accepted a new job out of state. They would be moving before the school year ended and St. S was looking for a replacement. What ...

There are two activities that I enjoy for the satisfaction I get from them. Crocheting and writing. I crochet because I love seeing the ball of yarn become something that will be cherished by my friends. Whenever I present one of these gifts of lo...

I got the word too late to make arrangements to go to the funeral. Another one of my old time cycling pals passed away last Sunday. He had a heart attack while out biking. He was 76. Seems way too young for dying. At least from the perspective of ...

Whenever I am out working in the yard, walking my two miles at the park, or doing a long bike ride by myself, my mind jumps from topic to topic and suddenly I'll think, "How the heck did I get to this idea." That happened today as I was out edging...

I had many choices for activities today, but decide that what I really needed to do was to sort through the debris in the garage. I used to have a usable space. Not that anyone here in Miami uses their garages for cars, mind you, storage space is ...

Big changes at my house for sure. On Saturday Dan, my younger son, and his brother, Adam, began the long drive to Chicago. They left under overcast skies, but warm temps driving Dan's car, pulling a U-Haul, and contending with two protesting furba...
