I love my Thursdays with my sister, Virginia, and my 93-year old mom. I rush to drive the 35 miles to be there by 8:15 am and always find them just rolling out of bed. We spend two hours over coffee and toast, then another half hour perusing our IPads together. At 11:00 am, I […]
My most favorite animal in the whole wide world is the Holstein cow. I know they aren’t all warm and fuzzy, but they make me feel all warm and fuzzy when I look into their big brown eyes. Holstein cows, of course, remind me of my childhood homestead, a 100-acre farm in Pennsylvania. And home […]
Mom has always forgiven my flaws. It’s not that she ignores my blunders, but she forgives. Take her Mother’s Day cake yesterday. Creativity, especially in the cake-decorating department, has never been my forte. When the children were little, I bought all those clown, ballerina, and fireman cake tins, and they did help. But then, my […]
Today is my baby boy’s 24th birthday. Being an older mother at 41, this baby wiped me out. During those 9 months, I never saw a couch I didn’t like. Of course, in my defense, my two other ragamuffins, 2 and almost 5 years old, kept me moving. It was difficult running after them from […]
Today is our daughter’s 26th birthday. I remember the process we went through in naming her. We gave our first son the name of Aaron Nathan. My father’s name was Nathan and Aaron went well with that name. Besides that, Aaron in the Bible was the voice for his brother Moses and with me as […]
What did you make today for your Easter dinner tomorrow? Did it bring back memories of your childhood or of your days as a young mom? Share an Easter memory with.a loved one today.
I decided today would be my cleaning day. Rip the sheets off the bed, get them in the washer, sort other dirty clothes, clear off all sorts of stuff from my kitchen counters, clear my desk, light my coffee scented candle—and that’s when I remember—I hate cleaning. However, with the washer going and my bed […]
Last June, my husband and I traveled to Wellsboro for the signing of my very first book at From My Shelf bookstore on Main Street. While there, I reaped an entire week of nostalgic and warm memories of my idyllic childhood. We drove into town on the Wednesday before Laurel Festival and saw the town […]
Okay, so this may not be the most flattering picture of my sister. Virginia is very attractive and has always been the picture of an exquisite lady of culture. However, this picture was taken as she so skillfully demonstrated the depth of her new washing machine. Let me go back and say that for almost […]
With Mom in the car this morning, I took mileage for a new walking route. I have only done one mile every morning and every night for a very long time. I used to do three miles twice a day. However, my doctor said no more hills for a while, but I do want to […]
