20 Hooks & Still the Bustier & My Bosom Did Not Match Up

A night to remember. . . and laugh about — This week marks our 40th wedding anniversary. It was a quiet day officiated by a bouquet of tulips, exquisite patisserie, and affectionate kisses. Our idea of romance is solving the crossword — together. We are intense and all over each other. More than once my husband has had to guide…

Can a Cable Tie Hold Spring Together?

Have I Bumbled May?

A gardener’s lament — My May choreography is askew. A Dandelion chorus runs rampant through every lawn — It’s not a Violet’s sweet nature to reprimand. Sweet Grass hugs the sidewalk. Thyme has yet to creep. Yarrow lays low. The bunnies are uprising. …

Author Nancy Farmer Is a Visionary

Coming-of-Age can be a horror story — I became a fan of Nancy Farmer after I checked out her middle-grade book The Ear, The Eye, & the Arm when I worked at the library. This fable, set in modern Africa, could be magic realism. …

I’ll Have What They’re Having

A vacation with a side of grief — Computers have a feature that shares photo rolls of memories including their time and location. As long as the music is muted, I enjoy them. My daughter lives in California and during one of our monthly phone calls, she complained that her family hasn’t visited her since 2019. …

Forty Years of Marriage

Each decade makes the bond stronger — My husband and I met in the Theater Arts department at college. He saw me in my Tweety Bird t-shirt sewing in the costume shop. I smiled at him and that was it. I saw him a year later and reintroduced myself and we’ve been together ever since. There have…
