A Special Letter
I just wrote a special letter, a letter to my younger daughter, Meghan Lee. I didn’t really have time for this today as I’m under the proverbial gun to finish major school work in time to join a group of friends tomorrow. We’ll see…. The letter had to be written and will be taken to…

It’s a Mom Thing…
Not everybody would get this, but if you’re a mom, I’m fairly certain you will. Everybody knows my Meghan Lee was here for eight days. She’s gone, four days already. It’s harder than I’d have believed. I should be used to it; my daughters live on opposite coasts, I’m in the middle and this is…

Happy Anniversary to Me !!!
Yes, indeed, I’m one fortunate woman, sharing my story and my joy with y’all today. Four years ago right about now, a neurosurgeon and his team took a buzz saw to my skull and then a scalpel to my brain. Later he visited me in the night and delivered the news that the tumor they…

Bunnies With No Heads???
Do not be dismayed, this post will give you hope and encouragement, I promise 🙂 As often mentioned in these pages, I’m a traditionalist; I believe tradition is the glue that binds us together. Today I’ll tell a quick story about a mother who used to buy the best solid chocolate Easter bunnies for her…

No Good Deed Goes …?
Surely some of you know the rest of that aphorism. Because of my belief in the power of words, often stated here – words matter – I won’t be finishing the statement; in fact today we’ll do a test run on a new ending, give it a new spin. And I do love spin 🙂…

I’m here!!
An uneventful flight; actually, travel was very good. This Delta/Northwest merger has resulted in a very classy airline. The service was excellent, personnel very professional, very helpful. Compared to some of the service we’ve experienced in the last year, this rates very well! A year ago on Dec. 23, I was sitting at O’Hare, full…

TA DA …
My last post of 2009 from my home. In 12 hours I’ll be arriving in Green Bay to catch a bit of sleep before flying out at 6:30 a.m. And in 28 hours I will be hugging my beloved Meghan and seeing her new home for the first time. Am I excited? You have no…

BLIZZARD PART II
It got ugly out there. I have a friend who’d call it “wicked cold.” She’s from the East and apparently that’s a colloquialism and her adjective of choice. I call it BRUTAL and realize all-caps equals shouting in cyber-English, but that’s my way of letting you know that it did indeed get ugly. As so…

Close to Your Heart
Someone close to me lost someone close to her over the weekend. Totally unexpected while on a trip ten years in the making. In an instant a father, husband and best friend of 28 years, is gone and a wife is alone in the woods with her husband’s body, trying desperately to save him with…

In Over Your Head?
That was my thought at 7:00 a.m., trying to figure out what I’m doing in an algebra class. How, if I’m challenged by navigating the course web site, will I navigate the course? Oh my… “Algebraic symbols are used when you do not know what you are talking about.” I don’t know who said it,…
