Dolly Parton — A down-to-earth diva (Mommy Musings) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I skimmed Dolly Parton tributes after her death last week, I missed any mention of how very occasionally she tested her luck by trying to “pass” as an everyday grocery store shopper. Apparently, in the early days of her career and 59-year marriage, she and her late reclusive husband, Carl Dean — a man who attended none of her shows and only one of her award ceremonies — liked last-minute camper trips. Presumably, this travel mode helped them dodge the double takes that go along with fame. Wit
Keepsake from the lake on waiting well (Mommy Musings) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every summer in early August we gather with my husband’s side of the family to drop into low gear in Michigan at a friend’s cottage on Diamond Lake south of Cadillac. In this space, we catch up on books, water sports, sleep, card games, conversations, and — new this year — the eight-episode, PBS Masterpiece television adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic French revenge novel, “The Count of Monte Cristo.” This backwater of free time away from the river of our busy routine life in Colorado also
Dutch oven methods from kitchen to campsite (Mommy Musings) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’ve never tried cooking or baking with cast iron, maybe the best place to get to know a Dutch oven’s capability is in the shelter of your home kitchen. There, you can proof-test America’s earliest cookware without facing the tricky campfire challenge of managing heat without a temperature dial. With some in-house success, you may feel more confident about packing up this nearly indestructible item — my Dutch oven weighs 13½ pounds — and using it outdoors to cook and bake tasty, hot eats. B
Befriend the water to enjoy all its benefits (Mommy Musings) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a veteran swimming lessons instructor with the city of Longmont, Ignacio Malpica has heard the horror stories that keep kids and adults from safely working out or playing in and around water. Some almost drowned after accidentally getting into water over their heads. Others almost drowned when adults with a “sink or swim” mentality threw them into the deep end. Some even loved someone who drowned — often because they never learned how to swim or practice water safety. Blame bone density, lack
Capturing the spirit of 1776 (Mommy Musings) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Emanuel Leutze wasn’t there on Christmas night in 1776 when George Washington and his troops pushed off from the bank on the Buck County, Pa., side of the Delaware River to cross 300 yards — three football fields — of icy water to sneak attack British mercenaries sleeping on the opposite bank in Trenton, N.J. Nevertheless, the artist felt the bracing winds, risky strategy and high stakes pressure as he reflected on the early days of the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783. That connecti
