What a great idea to set aside a national day to thank the authors in the world who have brought us the laughter, suspense, and tears through the written word. In 1928, while recuperating in the hospital, Nellie Verne Burt McPherson, president of the Illinois Women’s Club in Bement, wrote a letter of appreciation to […]

In my childhood on our family’s Pennsylvania farm, I looked forward to the cooler fall weather every year. Before the cold winds blew and the first frost appeared, we climbed up the trees and gave them a good shaking to gather the last few apples or pears and store deep down in the well pit. […]

I remember as a child, yelling at my older brother and sister, “You’re not my boss!” Actually, my sister was my boss; I hung on her every word. She told me what to do and what not to do – how to behave and what not to say. That was the most difficult for me, […]

At 9:30 p.m., I found myself sitting in full daylight beside a glacier-fed babbling brook in Denali, Alaska. I had just started to feel a chill in the 40-degree temperature. The loud, fast-rushing rapids disturbed the otherwise peaceful surrounding. It’s funny that the noise reminded me of the troubles in this world that interrupt what […]

Yesterday, I visited Denali National Park in Alaska. Denali is the highest mountain in North America at 20,310 feet. The park ranger who led our tour asked, “What word comes to mind when you see that view?” Completely covered in snow (in August), Denali took my words away. One fellow tourist said Middle Earth; another […]

I love this picture of my daughter (on the left) and her bestie (on the right) taken in Antelope Canyon at Lake Powell, Arizona. Best friends since elementary school, they spent long hours sitting up late at night talking either in person or on the phone. They commiserated with each other about their studies and […]

Where did that expression ever originate? Many of our everyday sayings we use were first spoken or written by the great bard himself, William Shakespeare. We don’t know his actual birthday, but because he was baptized on April 26, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616, England has dubbed his birthday to be April 23. […]

I love this picture of my mom (92 when the picture was taken) brother, sister and her husband, and me. The technology bug has bitten us all. When did you get your first computer/laptop/iPad? When I visited my sister in San Antonio in 1966, her husband worked at Lackland Air Force Base. He came home […]

Silly me. I twisted my ankle the other day just walking across a driveway of loose pebbles. I thought I was down for the long count; however, I decided to follow the Google guidelines. For many hours, I faithfully iced for 20 minutes, then applied heat for 20 minutes, then after another 20 minutes, I […]

Every holiday holds a special memory. I’m fortunate that most memories are happy for me and sometimes even a bit silly. Mom used this little cake tin every Easter. Some years she nailed it right on; other years, she poured too much cake batter into the tin and as the poor lamb cake started to […]
