My daughter’s first experience with the death of a loved one was a few years ago. The woman who provided day care for her and her cousins off-and-on for two summers died.
Ruby was a remarkable woman. She had three fingers on each hand and no hair, so she always wore a red wig. Her birth […]

I am a lousy filer and am the first to admit it. And now, I have somehow misplaced a web site.
My lack of alphabetic organizational skills goes way back to paper files. Remember those things? Hated them. And although I use dictionaries, I hate them too. They are too close to filing. One must know […]

My daughter struggles with math. She names it as one of favorite subjects, but has a love / hate relationship with it. She needs to pay extra attention to it and get extra help from both her teacher and me.
So tonight she needed help with something referred to as sixth grade algebra. I grabbed a […]

Being too dizzy to drive yesterday, my parents took me to lunch. I called, knowing that Friday is their pizza day, and somehow, pizza seemed like the perfect cure for numb-headed dizziness. (Why can’t Fat Doctor be my primary care provider?) Of course they invited me. They are like that (they even paid).
It must be […]
