If you’ve read recent posts, you know my husband and I have been cleaning out. This week was productive as we took a whole carload of stuff over to our local reuse-it store. I also have a tote ready to go to the consignment store where I occasionally take gently used household items or knick-knacks…

Poetry Friday: Tide Rhythms
My eldest son is flying home from Italy today. He’s had a great trip visiting Florence, Cinque Terre, Rome, and Scilla, the town in the Calabria region where his paternal great grandparents are from. He’s kept us up to date with daily photo entries on a shared google photo album. The trip was finally consummated…
Goals for the New Year
I’ve given some thought to my goals for the new year. At this point, my OLW is still being decided upon but I am considering a word that many will feel that they can either relate to it or feel that it is not enough to push towards. Those in the second lot may not…
An Opportunity for Young Writers
Today, I want to pass on an opportunity for teachers who work with students on their creative writing. Unfortunately, I will not be able to take advantage of this chance to submit student work, but maybe some of you can. Right now, I do not have a group of writers. I am wondering about the…

Travel Favorites
Today, I have a question. What do you consider the best place you’ve ever traveled to and why? This question was inspired by the most recent season of The Amazing Race, which I happen to be watching now. As I typed the question, I realized that I might actually have trouble answering the question I…
Slice of Life: When Passionate Volunteering is Thanked
Whew, today was a long day! It’s late and I am just starting to think about my blog now. In thinking about what I would write about, I decided to tell you about an unexpected gift I received Sunday when we got home from our cabin. As we drove up the driveway, I saw the…
Foodie Monday: Homemade Pasta
Recently, my husband found a recipe for homemade marinara sauce and meatballs. It is delicious and seems easy. He’s made it three times in the last month and was so delicious we had it for our Christmas Eve dinner. We might never have store-bought sauce again! The meatballs, made separately, are delicious as well and…
