Cooking For Two
I initially had some trouble being an empty nester, but once both kids were gone for a while, I adjusted well. Hubby and I enjoy our couple time (the time after the kids moved out). That’s one reason among many on why you should marry a friend. The time you spend being a couple may […]
Thoughts on Procrastination
Definition of procrastination: to put off intentionally the doing of something that needs to be done Last week, I wrote a few ideas of a book I’ve thought of writing about parenting. I’ve thought about it for years, but the blog is the only lines I’ve written on it thus far. I’ve put it off […]
Thoughts on Child Rearing
I spent two weeks with my grandsons, watching them, playing with them, and listening to them. A lot of memories about my childrearing days came back. I remembered that I’d toyed with the idea of writing a book about childrearing advice. I’m no expert, but as a mother, teacher, and observer, I have helpful advice […]
Thoughts on Grandsons
For the past two weeks, Hubby and I have assisted our son in the care of our grandsons. Our daughter-in-law was on a business trip to western Africa, and the boys are too much of a handful for one person. Besides, it gets lonely for our son. The boys are close and play well together, […]

So many other points of discussion too precedence, and rightfully so. When our first Christmas together as a couple came around, I assumed we’d be with […]
Thoughts on #MeToo
With all the news about sexual harassment, memories I thought I’d put behind me have bubbled up again. I’m one of the #MeToo people that was demeaned back in the days when I was young, thin, pretty, unmarried, and totally naïve. I don’t call it an assault because no violence was involved. What I experienced […]
Thoughts about a Preacher
This past week, a preacher I’ve known since my middle-teenaged years passed away. He was a very wise man and knew the Bible backwards and forwards. He could quote chapter, verse, and scripture from heart as well as anyone who’s ever lived. He was a wise man, highly respected by many. People came from miles […]
Thoughts on the Holidays
Last night, I went to dinner and the theater with girlfriends. It was the continuing saga of em>The Five Grannies Go Out on the Town. We do this once a year during the Christmas season. It’s like our own private Christmas party. We always have a great time together. Before, we went to the historic […]
