I’M A GREAT GRANDMOTHER?
As of yesterday, I am now the proud great grandmother of a baby. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. I wasn’t there for the blessed event. My husband transported granddaughter and her new child home from … Continue reading
PRAY FOR OUR CHILDREN
I’ve been a child myself, so I know what it’s like. I’ve raised three of them, with the help of God and my husband. I’ve had the joy of watching my three grandchildren become wonderful young adults and followers of God. … Continue reading
GOING HOME
(This poem was written a year ago at this time. We just made the offer on our new old house – a house that has brought us much joy in just a year.) A little house is all we need … Continue reading
MOTHERHOOD GUILT
The vision of a Jewish mother, holding every form of guilt over her child’s head, has become stereotypical. Since Eve was the first woman, and obviously Jewish, let’s blame her. I feel women are formed with guilty consciences and it … Continue reading
DAYS SO QUICKLY PASS …
For many children across the land, school has resumed. Kids, now tanned by the summer sun will don their back to school clothes and prepare for another school year. My granddaughter will embark on her first year of high school … Continue reading
MULTI-TASKING?
It has come to my attention that I no longer possess the ability to multi-task. Gone are the days when I could sew up to 50 costumes in a week, write a play or two, teach a class, plan meals … Continue reading
BACK TO SCHOOL
School supplies covered the shelves for weeks and trendy new fashions beckon to be purchased. Kids need more expensive tools to go to school. When raising our own children, I never really looked forward school shopping, because of the huge chunk it took from our every day … Continue reading
BACKYARD THEATER
I cannot even begin to comment on the above picture. I was born in 1942 and most of my childhood occurred during the 40s and 50s. We didn’t even have a television set until I turned ten. It was … Continue reading
MEMORIES
I came across this old photo of my sister and I cutting up, just for laughs, at my Aunt Muriel and Uncle Jake’s home in Wisconsin. It brought back so many memories of the fun times we shared, not only … Continue reading
WHAT DO WE TELL OUR CHILDREN?
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” Ronald Reagan During this time … Continue reading
ARTIST IN THE MAKING
The dapper, young man had finished his basic training, twenty pounds heavier than when he went in. All twenty pounds were muscle. He had always been handsome in my eyes, but there was a difference – a confidence and assurance … Continue reading
NATIONAL S’MORES DAY
There seems to be a holiday for just about everything these days. This is one you can really sink your teeth into. Trouble is, if you wear dentures, your teeth may come out with the first bite. The entrepreneur Alec … Continue reading
HEY, AIRMAN!
My mother always said, there was nothing more handsome than a man in uniform. I find that amusing, since her husband never served in the military and never wore any kind of uniform. When my man decided to fill his … Continue reading
A NIGHT IN THE WAREHOUSE
My husband was forbidden to purchase a gun when he lived with his parents. Their reasoning made perfect sense. They had witnessed many gun shot deaths in their business. When Paul got out of the Air Force and was still … Continue reading
DOG’S BEST FRIEND
Over the 53 years of our lives together, we’ve had countless dogs – from Beagles to Goldens, to Brittanys, mutts and this one – a Lewellyn Setter. Gage is now ten years old and is finally warming up to us. … Continue reading
WHERE’S THE PATIENT?
It was one of those down times on the roller coaster of our early married life. My husband was about to embark on a new job in a different state and we had no insurance. I had remained in our old … Continue reading
HOW TO BE A GOOD PARENT
I’d like to say, that after 75 years of living, I am an example of what a good mother should be. I’d like to say that, but unfortunately I’d be lying. Everything I did as a parent was merely by … Continue reading
MY OUTDOORSMAN
My husband has many traits. He is intelligent in many areas of life. He knows how to survive in the wilderness. He should’ve been born two centuries ago, because is filled with the spirit of adventure required to have lived then. He … Continue reading
