On Saturday, after years and years of waiting, I finally turned 62 years old. To some of you, I probably seem ancient; to a few others, I’m just a young pup. To the rest, I’m in good company. Over the years I’ve become indifferent to having a birthday. Yes, the […]

My Facebook page recently reminded me that no one has heard from me in a while. Funny how those prompts make me feel just guilty enough to start thinking about writing a blog post, but not guilty enough to write one right away. I’ve been cruising through Life lately, musing […]
I’ve been leading a non-writing life lately … well, if you don’t count writing letters (of the snail mail variety). Although I’ve been writing in my head a lot. Somehow I don’t manage to put those thoughts down on paper. No, what usually gets down on paper is my endless […]

Good morning, Dear Reader. Well, it’s morning here and it’s probably morning somewhere else, so “Good morning” even if it’s afternoon or evening or the witching hour where you are now reading this. I hate to split hairs, especially my own. Several weeks ago my husband and I made a […]
So I am slowly getting back into my old routine. Well, that’s a lie. For one thing, I never really had a routine. For another thing, I hate routine, although I’m often the first person to complain when unexpected things happen. Usually this time of year, one would expect blog […]
