Today I was watching the clip of President Bush reading to second graders as the first plane hit on 9/11. I was reading to kindergarteners at that same moment. The second graders are now 17.

After three days of rain outside and tv reruns inside, I’m actually excited football starts tonight – even if it isn’t the Patriots. (I actually don’t even know who is playing, but at least I haven’t already seen it.) The havoc the rain is heaping upon the northeast is getting old, too. My thoughts and . . . → Read More: Rain & Reruns This morning I came across the story of how an emperor moth emerges from it’s cocoon. Then I saw the first school bus go by. It was opening day in our town. Watching the children on the bus as it drove by made me think of my many opening days and the one particular thing . . . → Read More: My Butterflies Four years ago this used to be a full day of labor packing myself up to move back from cape cod to NY to start school the next day. Tomorrow I am starting my third year of retirement. We celebrate this day every year by taking drinks to beach and NOT having to drive back . . . → Read More: Labor Day Irene was not kind to my sister in upstate NY.

All of a sudden I hear an expletive. The milk was bad. I felt sorry for him and offered to run down to the corner store and get some. . . . → Read More: Breakfast Banter We all had a lot of laughs over ME having ADD. (Thank you daughter for the negative diagnosis.) People from yoga enjoyed that too, considering I have such severe focus in class, the teacher often tries to break into it. So, no ADD, but the warnings to go slow still keep coming. After the . . . → Read More: Suddenly I See…. This morning, while going through my prayer list, I paused to pray for a friend who really wants to do something, but is afraid. I started to pray for God to give her the courage to do it, but instead was lead to pray for her to slow down and not rush it. Then, . . . → Read More: Slow Going Irene came and went and left more than a few twigs on my lawn. It was wonderful to wake up to a normal breezy cape morning. The day was spent in yard cleanup. My husband “vacuumed” the lawn with the tractor, while I picked up all the oversized branches. No sooner had we begun our . . . → Read More: The Day After Irene…Still Fearful Saturday morning, August 27. The early morning today continues to be just as eerie as it was yesterday outside. All night long, still not a leaf has moved. The motionless plants and trees outside my door just hang there, ominously warning of impending something. Today will be busy with the last of the preparations. We . . . → Read More: Day Before the Storm |
