LIKE I NEED ANOTHER PLANT . . .
Yesterday the air cleared enough for me to breathe long enough to get out and do my grocery shopping. As I pushed my cart rapidly through the store, I ventured into the garden center. I love the mums that show … Continue reading
OUR FATHER GOD . . .

WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS . . .
Moisture hung heavily in the air last night. The heat of the day became drenched with tropical dewpoints. A welcome thunderstorm opened up the heavens, pouring huge droplets. So heavy that a portion of the birch tree clump in our … Continue reading

MAY 20th – FIRST LEVIS PATENTED

EASTER HAS COME & GONE . . . NOW WHAT?
As I look out my window this morning, a flurry of heavy, wet snow is dusting a layer of white upon the grass. Clouds fill the sky. Snowflakes can be beautiful, each with a pattern and design of their own. … Continue reading
HAPPY CURMUDGEON DAY . . .

CHRISTMAS PRESENT 3 – IGNORANCE & WANT
“The Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens seems to resonate from generation to generation. It is filled with ghosts, memories, poverty, illness, ignorance and want. Dickens was speaking from experience as he wrote this story of a stingy old man named Ebenezer … Continue reading
NO ROOM FOR JESUS?
The innkeeper is never mentioned in the Bible, but we can assume there was one since Luke says there was no room at the inn. If this were a theatrical production, we’d call on a minor character to add some dramatic … Continue reading
SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP

THANKSGIVING IS OVER – NOW WHAT?

CHRISTMASES PAST – part two . . .
My maternal grandmother was always on top of Christmas. She had a lot of grandchildren. They weren’t wealthy – just an ordinary couple of farmers who never failed to remember those they loved. It seemed there was one tradition that … Continue reading
THANKSGIVING WEEK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER
My sister came into this world almost five years after I had established myself as the number one grandchild on both sides of the family. I was the chief kingpin and I was not about to let her take over … Continue reading
TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA OR A GAME OF CHESS?
It is a typical Friday, the thirteenth. The sky is filled with grey clouds, spilling moisture we could’ve used a month ago. The wind is spiraling through partially emptied trees, whisking away the remainder of dried leaves. The limbs of … Continue reading
LAUGHTER IS STILL THE BEST MEDICINE
Look at those faces. Both of these darling girls have nurtured their smiles over the years. They have become older, wiser, a little wrinkled, (OK a lot wrinkled in my case.) at times challenged or filled with joy. Just Ike … Continue reading
