I’m in Florida for the month of March. This is a yearly get-a-way that my husband and I have been lucky enough to be able to enjoy for the last ten years. This year our fun in the sun is tempered a little bit by our homesickness for our grandkids. Our resort has a little […]

Do you remember this old Girl Scout song? “Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.”That’s the way I feel about places in Rochester. This week I had the opportunity to visit one new place and two familiar places. First the silver. I had heard lots of good things […]

My Daughter’s Feet Little feet, little feet Oh, those precious tickle feet. Swimming, kicking in the womb, Making sure your presence known. Jabbing here and prodding there I feel them poking everywhere. Baby, on your back you go, Foot to mouth and gums to toe. What a special, tasty treat Sucking on those perfect feet. […]

That’s the question going around Rochester this week with Next to Normal finishing it’s run at GEVA and The Addams Family playing at the Auditorium Theatre. I missed the former, but saw the latter last night. Even with a minimum of special effects and over the top musical numbers, it was wonderfully entertaining. The Addams […]

I’m back to going to the gym again. I hadn’t been in almost 2 months for a lot of reasons (or excuses). I had a cold, I had a corn on the bottom of my foot, I was away, it was Christmas, etc., etc., etc. It does feels good to be in a routine again, […]

I decided to take Evan to the mall today to walk. I thought I would get some exercise and pass the time. I started to regret my decision when I had to unload both him and the stroller in the pouring rain, but I’m glad I persisted. What I got along with the exercise was a chance to […]

My grandson, Evan, loves to dance. This may not seem remarkable except that Evan does all his dancing sitting down. At just one year old, he’s not steady on his feet, but that doesn’t stop him. He doesn’t know that you’re supposed to dance with your feet. He dances with his whole body, especially his […]

How are you doing so far adjusting to the new year? To me the new year is like the dress shirt that you got every year for Christmas from dear Aunt Edna when you were a kid. Not unexpected, it arrives on schedule in a box wrapped in soft, white tissue paper. It comes folded down […]

I was waiting very impatiently in the drive-thru line at the bank this morning at 9:30. I couldn’t understand what was taking the guy ahead of me so long. But in an instant my perspective totally changed. I had my radio on 101.3, and I heard Tony say, “We’ll now be observing a moment of silence in […]

The math teacher in me just loves days like today when the numbers show such synchronicity. What better day is there to think about the miracle of Christmas? So today I decided to visit Sacred Heart Cathedral to look at the collection of nativity sets that are on display there. I’m not Catholic, but Sacred Heart Cathedral […]
