In the 1980s I had one best Girlfriend, my sister Rita. And like most BGFs we did a lot of things together. We were especially lucky, because our husbands, Joe and Ron, were buddies too. We both lived in Cincinnati and our families spent many weekends together. One day Rita and I decide to attend…… Continue reading Way-Laid
Books and Other Dangerous Info
On the news recently we heard about Governor DeSantis support of Florida law HB1460 which effectively allows a “school district employee who holds a valid educational media specialist certificate” to decide which books and materials should be available for students. This whole scenario sounds very problematic and not easily definable. Does this mean one person…… Continue reading Books and Other Dangerous Info
Vote Kentucky
Kentucky voters, do you know what Issue 2 is? It is a proposal to amend the Constitution of our state by adding this statement “To protect human life, nothing in this constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.” Since the US Supreme Court ruling…… Continue reading Vote Kentucky
Sweet Home Alabama, NOT
Fertilized egg – eight cells According to the Supreme Court of Alabama, as of February 16th Frozen Embryos are now “human children”. [You can read about the case here.] They have the same rights as a walking breathing talking 10-year-old child who, by the way, would be forced to carry a fetus to term, a…… Continue reading Sweet Home Alabama, NOT
Sand Blasted Dogs
A beach in the Dominican. Wow the wind! An attempt at normalcy-comfortably lounging with a book- becomes a battle against the elements. We should just take example from the sand blasted dogs. They lie curled up and tired, heads down low, not much notice of the stinging sands like thousands of tiny needles coating the…… Continue reading Sand Blasted Dogs
Rainbows
An Ark of color. A whimsy thing. Sometimes full, sometimes double. Bright, or hazy. Almost always emits a thrill; to share, to capture, journal in your memory books. As if the gods themselves came down and put a ring of gold on your finger, we claim a promise. Whatever it is we conjure to take…… Continue reading Rainbows
Cemetery Walks
The sunny, frigid wind knifes at my cheeks, sharp, stinging and burning, no blood to prove it. My legs aren’t there, yet they keep moving stiffly forward. With Raybans aloft, I tilt and squint at the towering gothic monuments to death. A full blown statue of a man stands atop a concrete structure that is…… Continue reading Cemetery Walks
Big Hair
In the mid-1980s my sister, Rita and I both wanted BIG Hair, which meant we needed perms. And since we both were working moms, with not much disposable income we resorted to buying Lilt or Ogilvie home permanent wave kits at the drug store and doing our own – actually doing each other’s hair. Rita…… Continue reading Big Hair
A Mindful Walk; Geese, Ducks, and Dog
I am currently reading The Art of Living by Thich Nhat Hanh. And I am trying to follow his teachings about practicing mindfulness everyday in all my activities and resting moments. Mindfulness allows you to live deeply every moment that is given you to live. ~Thich Nhat Hanh It is not easy, but…… Continue reading A Mindful Walk; Geese, Ducks, and Dog
Seeing is Believing or NOT
Three separate incidents of Seeing or NOT: #1. One day last week I stepped out of my house, my little dog on her leash, ready for our morning walk. Facing east (I take the same route every day) on Borderlands Drive I suddenly see a tall gray electric tower shaped like a skinny monster insect…… Continue reading Seeing is Believing or NOT
