Appreciation For The Four Seasons
I was walking the dog this week in the light snow we had Wednesday morning. I had on my winter coat, hat and gloves and Charlie was in his winter coat. Suddenly I had a flashback to just a few months ago. It was only four or five months ago that we would only go…

It’s August? Where Did Summer Go?
The calendar turned to August this week and I noticed some posts on social media from friends who don’t like this month. I guess I can see their point. When the children were younger, Priscilla and I used to plan our summer vacation for the last week before school began. We did that for a…

What Makes Summer So Special?
Why is summer so special for some of us? I say “some” because I know not everyone loves summer as much as I do. Many people prefer Fall, some Spring and the occasional oddball looks forward to Winter every year. What’s wrong with some people? Kidding. I’m kidding. This week brought the arrival of summer.…

A Breath Of Fresh Air
I couldn’t help myself! I did it! When I woke up this morning I opened every window in the house! The heatwave has ended! Now let me first say, I love summer. I never mean to wish it away and I’m not one of those that wait for sweater weather and pumpkin lattes. However….this year…

Once The Weather Turns All Is Forgotten
I was thinking about this the other day, as I sat in the yard in the sun: Once the weather turns all is forgiven. In case you’re a new reader I’ll say it again… I hate March in New England. I’ve written a few blogs about this in the past. You get all excited because…

Oh What A Night
Last night was so nice. No, I haven’t hit the lottery —- yet. It’s not because of the friends we had over for “Wine Night.” Their friendship is precious and I never drink wine at those nights anyway. I prefer my Macallan 12 year old. It was nice because we finally turned off the air…

Not Ready Yet
I get it. It’s been hot. In fact, I don’t think I went outside Friday unless the puppy had to do what puppies need to do. I pretty much stayed in the A/C all day. But I’m not ready yet. Ready for what? A friend of mine had a post on her Facebook page this…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 28
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy and do I ever have news this week! I’m walking! Well, kind of. I walk with my toy. Grampy named it Cubby. He names all my toys but I guess this does look like a Cubby. I also walk with some help from mommy, daddy…

Southern Summer
I’m experiencing my first southern summer and —- uh — yeah—-it’s hot! I know my Florida friends are probably laughing because I’m really not that far south but this is warm enough here in Virginia Beach. I’m helping out with daycare for my grandson and let’s just say, “Thank God for central air.“ A typical…

And Suddenly…It is Autumn!
I swear this happens every year: The calendar says “Autumn” but we’re still wearing short sleeves, no jacket and maybe even sneaking in a beach day. And then…. The leaves start to change, then fall, and I’m walking by the beach in a hoodie pulled up over my ears. And there’s usually a Nor’easter involved.…
