  • Mother and Her Roma Tomatoes

    This was posted a few years ago at another site that is now deleted.  Mother is a phenomena that is worthy of sharing. ** Mother always amazes and surprises me. When it comes to saving money, my mother’s an expert.  She is naturally funny and never sweats the small stuff. There are so many amusing […]

    Age is Only Number

    I was devastated a few years ago, (I was just  a young 59 years at the time), I was shopping in a pharmacy and it happened to be seniors day.  Yes, you get a 10% discount on everything you buy. It suddenly hit me; I was a senior.  I didn’t want to admit it. Suddenly […]

    Originally posted on Aunt Beulah:
    The fifties may have been a simpler time, but they weren’t all birthday cake and ice cream. I remember crouching under my desk, hearing my heart thump and my teacher’s hose rub as she patrolled the classroom during an atomic bomb drill. Then, the next day, she distributed iodine tablets…

  • SPRING; A SPIRITUAL REBIRTH

    “Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.” . . . “Something up above was calling him imperiously,  . . . “Up we go!’ till at last his snout came out into the sunlight, and found himself rolling in the warm […]

  • How Far Should Parents Push Their Child To Succeed?

    Parents want their child to succeed in life. They want them to have what they didn’t have and are willing to sacrifice, scrimp and save for their child’s education. But what do you do if your child doesn’t want to finish their education? What happens if their ambition for success isn’t as great as yours? […]

  • Yesterday’s Child

    Yesterday’s Child Yesterday’s Child White cloud A veil concealed Moved gently over time An image Moving, running, Laughing, playing Joyous, carefree Innocence Pure Dreams of tomorrow Happily ever after A fairytale No pain or sorrow, She twirls And dances to songs of the wind A ballet To Earth’s rhythm Perfumed breezes Plucking ribbons Red ribbons […]
