Some Distraction Helps
Puzzling Today, I got out a 500 piece puzzle for something to do with my parents. Thankfully, I brought it with us on our trip to see them, as I planned our trip. My husband and I ended up starting it. Frankly, I needed a distraction. My focus needed to change from vaccinations, and COVID…
Vaccination Matters
I am with my elderly parents. They are old enough to be next in line to get the COVID vaccine. But, the receipt of important information is not coming easily. The turn to technological dissemination of essential health information has left our seniors behind. Portals, apps, and cell phones have replaced the way many of…
Remembering Who You Were and Who You Are

One Little Word, Resolutions & a Poem
I’m not a fan of trends; I never have been. Always, it seems, I’m outside the box with trends such as colors, styles, books, or hobbies well before or after it is popular with the general public. My deep teal green kitchen was painted 5-7 years before everyone had teal on their walls. Once the…
