Sometimes, it is only the seemingly hardest among us that see through the shell and understand. Thank you, Rina. Continue reading →

Maybe because it is Easter Week, and a time for reflection upon life, death, goodness, gifts, friends, and pierogi. Maybe it is only floating bits of time that get in each others’ way and crash together in coincidence. Last night … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Another happy phone call; C tells me of the birth of her second grandchild, a boy, 2,500 miles away. We talk of weight and length, and how perfectly he fits into our ideals. Forgetting, of course, his older sister who … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Every morning between seven-thirty and eight, my neighbor calls me to let me know she is alive. She has been widowed now for five years (oh Andy, I still miss you so!) and is frightened of being found dead three … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I don’t blog very much, if at all, about current events. The war in Iraq, the Americans killed in the effort, the unspeakable cruelties human beings heap upon each other, the poor, the hungry, the sick and the dying. I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I for one simply do not believe Martha should go to jail. I need her valuable help in planning our Easter family dinner (although I’m not quite sure that kielbasi and sauerkraut is something she would approve of). I did … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Well the plumber came today and he was hell to pay… For the third time this month, we have had to get a plumber in to fix a leak. Thankfully it happened on a Friday rather than its usual weekend … Continue reading → Continue reading →
