The Snow Day in Upstate NY
I can remember being excited as I would go to bed in anticipation of snow as a child. I loved school but I loved a good snow day better. I am a touch concerned about this, the second of this school year, that my kids will have today. When I woke at 2 am –… Continue reading The Snow Day in Upstate NY
Christmas Creations
I told my neighbor Colleen, when asked, that I wasn’t making any Christmas gifts. Well, sorry Colleen, I fibbed. Alyice has done these wonderful bottles on her website – alyiceedrich.com. I read her information about the process. Of course, I am a bit behind and didn’t have any glass containers. I did, though, have some leftover… Continue reading Christmas Creations

I took a stroll through the news room at the Press & Sun-Bulletin last night. It was a fairly forced stroll – see my earlier… Continue reading Meeting the Cyber People
When do your parents become your children?
I have known that this day was coming. Both of my parents have health issues. One manages the issues through diet, exercise and medication. The other tends to ignore the medication prescribed, eats when and what is wanted, and ignores general health issues. Both are adults, 67 and 70 respectively. Yes, they are divorced and… Continue reading When do your parents become your children?
Gluten and the Christmas Cookie
No, I do not have celiac’s disease. Recently, my aunt, who lives close by, was diagnosed with celiac’s after over a year of trying to “figure out what was wrong.” Her younger sister had been diagnosed about five years ago. Consequently, it is in the family so I look into gluten free items when I… Continue reading Gluten and the Christmas Cookie
