Paper Trials and Tribulations - Columbia Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve always loved having quality paper goods in the house. And having a LOT of them makes me feel safe and dare I say it, even rich at times. I love knowing when that roll of paper towels, toilet paper, or box of tissue gets low, there are plenty more in the garage to take their place. I order them all in bulk these days because, since Covid and the stores ran out of paper goods every other day, I worry. After all… if you can’t get toilet paper, a box of Kleenex will come in quite handy. If you

So now we’re going to live in a world without Dolly Parton—or Jimmy Buffet or Kris Kristofferson. We’ve lost so many people these days. These three celebrities were not ever personal friends of mine, so it may seem odd that I mourn them.

I was a hellion when I was a kid. I know, looking back, I gave my parents many sleepless nights. I was an only child so my parents were micro-focused on me and my activities. We didn’t have all of the “activities” kids have today. Just in my present neighborhood, there’s golf camp, tennis camp, and pool camp. And I’m sure many of the young residents go to those summer camps or attend some sort of summer organization in addition to what the community offers. The parents must be exhausted—all that

“Are you EVER coming to bed, Julia?” My husband, Marty, and I were planning to watch a movie that night or, as it often happens when we “plan” to watch a movie in bed, we were likely going to put the film on our streaming channel and at some point before it was over, we would fall asleep. Then, the next night, we’d start again. Sometimes it takes three tries to watch the entire show. You gotta love television you can control. As much as I complain about technology I will give credit where it’s d
