With more of us (all of us ideally), staying in and spending so much suddenly-available time with the kids, I understand from my child-rearing friends that there has been a resurgence in board games. My memories of board games, like many I am sure, started first, by watching my older siblings play. You canContinue reading “Games”

Child Day Care
This is another subject that I have absolutely NO idea about, but I won’t let that stop my thoughts and opinions on the subject. I love kids. They represent the unspoiled. How the parents raise and nurture them is crucial, of course, but what about when the parents aren’t there all the timeContinue reading “Child Day Care”
If Only….
Check out the prologue of my novel. You’ll be amused and surprised at how the planet would look like If Only… The Earth was still an embryo. Ah awoke in the morning mist which had begun to creep into the cave. She looked at her little one, still asleep and dreaming in the warmth ofContinue reading “If Only….”
Letter to God (Part Two)
Hpw ;ame. I forgot to post this on time.…I also wanted to thank you for the guy I saw on CNN on Tuesday morning. He saved Gunner, his little puppy from the jaws of certain death from a hungry little (and apparently lightning-fast) alligator. Thank you for the birds of all colors you gaveContinue reading “Letter to God (Part Two)”
Sarah Fuller
Emmeline Pankhurst. Jane Austen. Clara Barton. Nelly Bly. Amelia Earhart. Marie Curie. Grace Hopper. And now, Sarah Fuller. Great women pioneers all. She did not ask to be a news novelty; she stepped up for her school when they needed her. That alone is heroic. And brave? We are talking about the Southeast Conference! WhereContinue reading “Sarah Fuller”
College Football
OK, I promise not to turn this into a sports blog, but they have done it to me once again. My Fighting Irish have given me cause for hope yet once again that they can overcome the obstacles we all face and the obstacles that come with being the University of Notre Dame. TheyContinue reading “College Football”
The First Day of Christmas
I have no issue whatsoever with those who already have their Christmas lights up. I love Christmas. If it were up to me, everyone would have to decorate and light up their houses all year long. To me, this is the FIRST day of Christmas. It is so because Karen will now let meContinue reading “The First Day of Christmas”
Letter to God (Part One)
Dear Sir or Madam: This shouldn’t take long, but I have so much to be thankful for, that I will spread it out over today and tomorrow (Thanksgiving). Thank you first and foremost, for your love and blessings. Thank you for allowing me to continue this journey you gave me to complete. Thank youContinue reading “Letter to God (Part One)”
Sweet Things
Candy. It is the very worst and the very best thing you can give a child. Right up there with ice cream, fast food, doughnuts, and anything fried. The sweets I remember growing up were: candy lipstick, Abba-Zabbas, wax lips and whistles. In Europe, different fruit candies, toffees, and decadent chocolates. In the Orient,Continue reading “Sweet Things”
The Wall
OK, the election is over despite the tantrums still being thrown by the Petulant One. When the smoke cleared, the recount insisted upon actually increased the lead Biden’s team won by. Careful what you ask for. So where does that leave us with The Wall? One of the focal points of Trump’s election inContinue reading “The Wall”
