Here We Go Again…
That may well be what some of you think about this post and frankly, my response is, it’s my blog, the subjects about which I write are important to me and I believe some of them are important in the larger scheme of life. That said, there are three reasons leading up to my choice…

A Long Strange Trip…
Today’s post takes its title from an old Grateful Dead tune; many of you will recognize the phrase. This past week has been an emotional roller coaster. From the terror event at the Boston Marathon through its conclusion late yesterday and a horrific explosion in West, Texas, the national scene has been intense. On a…

Happy Anniversary to ME!! 2013 Edition
Yes, indeed, I’m one fortunate woman, sharing my story and my joy with y’all. Seven years ago today, Easter Sunday that year, my visiting daughters stuffed me into my truck and headed to the small, local hospital, where doctors were stunned by what they found. A fairly large mass in my head, so big that…

Happy Birthday, Dan !!
Last year on March 17th, I published a post celebrating my cousin, Daniel J. Meyer, on his birthday. It was the first time I had ever posted to or about a male; I believe most of my readers are women, but it was appropriate then and it is again today. Take a moment, please, and…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HATTIE !! 2012
Today’s post is a rerun, first posted several years ago in honor of my paternal grandmother. On top of that, it’s a day late. From what I remember of her, she would be happy to have the greetings and tardiness would be overlooked with that smile I remember so well. Her birthday was November 10,…

MALALA UPDATE
Ten days ago I wrote about a 14 year-old Pakistani girl named Malala, who’d been shot in the head by a Taliban would-be assassin. Why? Apparently her activism on behalf of educating girls in her country is threatening to the Taliban. She survived the attack and is being treated in the UK. Not only did…

A Special Woman 2012 Update
This post is an update of the birthday post published last year in honor of my favorite Auntie Arlene, whose birthday is today. Much of the post is not new, just made current. I spoke with her an hour ago, wished her well, told her I loved her and we’ll get together in the next…

A Noteworthy Day Addendum
I do not believe I’ve ever done this before, but then my mom is a fairly new blog subscriber, and that should explain what’s to come. Having located the “Noteworthy” post yesterday, she called with a few corrections, or should I say clarifications, which I asked her to email rather than just tell me over…

Happy Birthday, Mom!!
Regular readers know I favor Special Days. Often they are birthdays of people important to me. And that is the subject of the day – the birthday of a woman about whom I have rarely posted, other than teasing about the habits I believe I inherited from her. Today, my mom, Carola Esther Buelow, is…
