Alzheimer's: Small Bags
My mom-in-law has Alzheimer's. Sometimes she says funny things. Like today, she was dipping a teabag in a cup of tea. And she said, "This is why your father got fired from dancing. Because his bag was too small." This...

It turns out one member of each couple works in the environmental field. The presence of all these

"Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children."
Today I celebrate my mother.
Every year I post this same entry about my mother. I figure I have thousands more memories, but these will give you a hint at how neat my mother was. She was one of a kind though I suspect we all believe that about our moms.
She favored the standards and was a Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Johnny Mathis fan. A line in a conversation or on television prompted her to burst into song. She loved to do crossword puzzles. There were always books of them around the house,...

Mama Said They'd Be Days Like This: The Shirelles
This song always makes me smile. I think of all the things my mother told me about eating my carrots, not swimming so soon after eating, never swallowing gum, how it's too cold to snow and on and on, and I know somewhere, sometime she must have warned me there would be days like this.

Have Pillow, Will Travel
As the sun sets on another successful renovation, Sven and I look back at what has been accomplished and smile, grateful to the architect, and to our contractor Nate Cook and his team. They have done an amazing job. We have, too, when you come to think of it. We are still married, for one thing. Renovation is a notorious marriage-wrecker. For the past two months Sven and I have been
