Bob, my late hubby, used to tell me that I was a creature of habit. He was oh, so correct. I have my routines, and I feel out of sorts when they are interrupted. I have even passed up things I really wanted to do because I was too comfortable in my...

In a few days, this month will have Marched on by. The first quarter of 2019 will be history. Didn’t the year just get started? Someone once explained that the reason time seems to speed up as we get older is because each year is a smaller fraction...

I do not know why March was chosen as National Sauce Month; however, after reading the definition of the word “saucy,” I have an idea. According to www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary, “saucy” means: 1. served with or having the consistency of sauce 2...

What is black and white and red all over and comes in the middle of February? It isn’t a sunburned penguin, nor is it an embarrassed skunk. It’s also not a zebra running through a strawberry patch. Give up? It’s my annual column...

People frequently comment about how much they enjoy reading about my grandchildren. If you are one of those folk, this one’s for you! On Thursday evening, my telephone rang. Caller ID informed me that my son Adam was on the other end of the line. ...

It seems like the older I get, the more “scents-itive” I become. Fragrances that other people enjoy can make my eyes itch, my sinuses swell, and my head hurt. Some of them cause me to feel like I can’t get my breath. With that said, it should be...
