We have become avid fans of The CBS Sunday Morning Show — taping it and enjoying it later. The Show Takes Me Back These ninety minutes remind me of the magazines to which my parents subscribed: LIFE — LOOK — Colliers — and of course, The Saturday Evening Post. The...
Another Labor Day The holidays of 2023 have ticked by quickly and here we are at Labor Day. I am grateful for escaping vertigo for the days have sped by. When I survey all I hoped to accomplish as 2023 . . . well, . . . I haven’t quite finished the list I never...
An Outline of a Painting Doug discovered a line drawing of a cat waiting to pounce on mouse who lurked behind him . . . or her. Two grandkids made suggestions for adding details. Then, I channeled my inner Matisse, adding adventuresome goldfish, and added a falling...
On Human Trafficking We watched SILENT WITNESS— a long-running British forensic science series on Britbox. We are long-time fans — but have learned to pace our selves. It’s not wise to binge watch it! We watch a few episodes and then have to realign our brains and...
Thoughts About The Series When we finished watching the series Ted Lasso we both put some thoughts together. First— this series portrays the generation God’s enabling us to serve. Maybe few of us will be serving the rich and famous, the athletes and entrepreneurs in...
Ted Lasso So we are finally watching Ted Lasso. It is as engaging as many described, with funny characters, good plots, and peppered with SALTY words and more than suggestive romps! FYI: HOLY SMOKE . . . language alert! AND F-bombs are not the only incoming -- yes,...

Today's the FOURTH! Happy Fourth of July! A Bit Late The United States of America is two hundred and forty-seven years young! It was no picnic for those who secured our freedom—after the Declaration’s signing: Throughout the course of the war, an estimated 6,800...
Masking again? Yes— Now, though, I am masking for outside— not inside. Who knew we could live through a CODE PURPLE weather alert day? Good Grief —It’s a good thing we cornered the market on N-95 masks a few months back. These treacherous smoky skies — blanketing...
May 29, 2023 My earliest memory of Memorial Day was not the parades; nor T.V. Specials or lavish barbecues. Ours was not a military family. Although we knew veterans, they kept a low profile. My parents' younger brothers fought; some of our neighbors were veterans...
A Weather Bank I wish we had a weather bank in which I could deposit the all the lovely hours May has generated. When Maryland’s summer arrives, I could withdraw enough cool dry air to keep my charm from depleting. On our evening walks I smell honeysuckle and...
So Many Pageants and So Much Liturgy In the past year, we have had quite helping of Anglican liturgy: first, the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, then, alas, her funeral and now Charles’ coronation. So much that the press broadcast — sans commercials — was Christian...
