  What I’m doing these days....Part One. Well. So much has happened that I am going to spend a few entries talking about MeMeMe if you don’t mind! So I’ve now reached the age of 64...that “will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four” age. Some days I feel some…

  Parents! We moved my parents here to our city in 2015. It was hard for all of us, and especially my dad, to leave the sweet familiar little town that has been their home and our heart-home for so many years. But with both of them in their 80’s, Dad on home kidney dialysis, heart…

    My husband makes me chai tea. I woke to the heavenly ginger and clove scent of his special made-from-scratch brew simmering in the kitchen. Then—bathrobed and (sock monkey) slippered, I followed my nose and found Don reading his Kindle in front of the fire. “This means love.&rd...

• Gift in our lives

  July 15, 2011

    Hello, m’dears!   Please bear with me on this wordy, wandering entry. I need to try and jot down some of these thoughts—so I can always remember this dear chapter in our lives.   Just for a moment of months, we had a 15 year old daughter. Our darling Lesya from Ukrain...
