Posted on May 13, 2018 by

My neighborhood has sprouted a new eating phenomenon….salad. Across from every Starbucks seems to be a Just Salads, a Sweet Green or a Fresh & Co featuring quite a few choices, and can’t say I’m too sorry since I patronize … Continue reading →

Posted on September 21, 2017 by

Al is a mutt, and Zeke, a five year-old boy, with autism.  Think Timmy and Lassie, just a tad imperfect. Zeke’s mom has her hands full, which is why, when I see Al, tied to the no-longer-in-use phone booth in … Continue reading →

Norma of Arc

Posted on September 15, 2017 by

I recently went to the ER. If you’ve never graced one before, it’s like a three-ring circus, there’s so much going on. First comes the paperwork as if you’re enrolling in college, with 12 pages requiring signatures, that you know, … Continue reading →

Thanks For The Mammories

Posted on July 6, 2017 by

It’s self-care season, meaning, it’s a round robin of doctor appointments to make sure all is in working order, like an annual tune-up for your car. Of course, as with anything, it comes with a downside.  Prodding and pushing, pressing and … Continue reading →
