I want to write but I can hardly think. I drank a cup of very strong coffee this morning and then fell asleep on the couch for 3 more hours. The tissues are piling up and nothing is getting done. It’s just another part of life, we get sick. About a month ago my son…

Breaking News – Halloween Cancelled! I had my sign up and bowls of candy by the door, but no one came. Many people still don’t have power, hopefully they’ve found a warmer place to stay. As I drive through town I see green, yellow and orange leaves dancing in the sunlight and drifting down to…
Oct. 27, 2011 – I get a call from my daughter who’s in college near Albany, NY. “Mom it’s snowing!”, “You’re kidding, right?” I responded. A couple hours later we had a little snow dusting as well, just a little. Oct. 28, 2011 – We woke up to see that the grass & cars were…
“We must not, in trying to find a way to make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.” Marian Wright Edelman, Families in Peril

It was a last minute, spur of the moment trip. I was invited to go (paid for) to a church event in Las Vegas and I was so happy to be able to go. Although I probably spent more time on airplanes and in airports than in Las Vegas, that in itself is a grand…
“The heavens endure; the earth is very old. Why? Because they do not exist for themselves, they therefor have long life. The truly wise are content to be last; they are therefor first. They are indifferent to themselves; they are therefore self-confident. Perhaps it is because they do not exist for themselves that they find…
“I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful life!” – Mom Blog Society Now that is a very nice way to introduce my blog. I really appreciate that MBS totally picked up on what I’m expressing here. Mom Blog Society has been really supportive, and I’ve learned a lot from participating there. It’s…
Seems like Steve Jobs and my Picasso Trees invited a major spam attack. Why? Please don’t wast my time with spam, I never liked it, even as a kid. However, if you are linking up to my posts and re-posting elsewhere, at least let me know in English. I know a little French and an…
What Fun We Had As Children We made creative use of whatever we could find to play with, even our environment. A hill could be a mountain or a dinosaur, and a stream could be a river or a moat. Our bikes could be magic carpets and our arms could be wings. Whatever our imaginations…
