Trial Run
Tuesday was all set to be a trial run for February 21. After a sequence of very busy days, the plan was for me to be home alone with nothing to do – except to relax, recover, and recuperate. In a similar manner, I have been telling people my “plan” is…
Holiday Blessings
There is just soooo much going on! Yesterday our staff celebrated Christmas with our preschool children and their families at their Christmas party. This was followed by caroling to our community and our granddaughter’s Christmas program. Tonight, a…
Busted!
What’s the expression? “What goes around comes around.” No, that’s not it. “Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.” No, but that is a good one. “There’s a first time for everything." Yes, this is it. Except that I always…
Shampoo, Part 2
I promise this will be the last time I write about shampoo, but there has been a “to be continued” that I did not expect. As I write this a week after stating “I anticipate finishing off this bottle of White Rain today or tomorrow” the new bottle still…
Shampoo
It was in September 2021. I do not remember the exact date, but early in the month. I walked into a dollar store looking for something else and happened to notice that they sold shampoo. I had emptied the previous bottle a while ago and was getting…

Old Dog … New Tricks
Some days I feel more like an old dog than others. Recently I met one of our neighbors I often see walking in the morning. When he told me he was 80 years old, I felt young. Then he told me that he had been retired for 20 years, and suddenly I felt…
Ex … ing
Can one use “exciting” and “exhausting” in describing the same events? And, while I am asking that question, can one discuss sewers, elections, and alarms at the same time? For me, all of this comes together in a blur.
Disoriented
It first happened (or so it seemed) this past Saturday in Ann Arbor. In fact, it happened twice – once when I parked and again when we were looking for the car. Someday someone else may tell you how a friend, the police, and family members saved me.
OOPS!
For more months that I can recall I have begun the process of writing this on Tuesday and/or Wednesday, in order to relieve the Thursday morning Thirst stress I had been experiencing by developing them entirely on Thursday mornings. But this week was…
