Friday Fun and More
First off, I’m so excited about taking first place in the photography entries in the Sherman Art League annual show. When I dropped my entries early on Thursday and saw the other photographs already entered, I’d pretty much decided that my humble offerings wouldn’t garner more than a passing glance from the judge. In fact,

The Blessings of Friendships
What would we do without our friends? Next to family members who’ve been so good to me during my lifetime, I’ve treasured my friends the most. Ones I’ve known for a ages and used to see in person a lot many moons ago – before my move and COVID and all the aches and pains

Despicable: To Be or Not to Be
It’s true. I really am turning into the same kind of curmudgeon as my grandfather who used to throw his slippers at the TV or radio when there was some news item that stirred his ire, as well as a few chosen words. That’s the way I’ve felt too often in the last few years

Here We Go Again
My birthday and Fourth of July mini-vacation was going great until I heard the news late Monday night about the mass shooting in Illinois during a Fourth of July parade in the city of Highland Park. Seven people were killed and dozens injured. I almost got whiplash as I went from extreme happiness and joy
July Fourth Celebrations Begin
Since I’m still in recovery mode from my shoulder surgery and some complications that popped up – literally as in swollen feet and legs – I’m pulling a post from July 2015.
