Finally my day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lately, the calendar seems to be crowded with meetings, volunteering, programs, shopping and whatever else finds its way into the month. I realize much of that overflowing calendar happenings is my fault, so maybe I shouldn’t complain too much. However, its still needs to be addressed. Along the way, I’ve read that the way to self satisfaction is self evaluation. There’s a lot of wisdom in those few words so let’s meander a bit. First of all, I just opened a bottle of McManis Pinot Grigio. It’s
It’s time for the hard side (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I would like to think that most of us enjoy apple juice. Talking about apples seems very appropriate at this time of the year. Our local apple orchards are full of hanging little balls of apple goodness. Fall is such a beautiful time of the year, and it’s filled with colors and festivities.

Speaking from personal past experience, it got a bit hectic now and again, but it was so rewarding. We parents got to watch our children expand and develop
Wow! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In case you haven’t noticed it, life is a bundle of "Wows!" It hardly seems necessary to remind us of these Wows!, but we sometimes get so caught up in everyday happenings that we don’t respond in someway to these special times. Early on, one of those Wows! for me was seeing a flax field in full bloom. I don’t think there are too many of those fields around anymore, but once seen, the field is never forgotten. The blazing blue flowers only last for about a day or so, however, they plant a lastin
