Super Bowl LII has come and gone. And what a game it was! Even I was cheering for the Eagles. As I was growing up, football was not an item in our home. When I reached high school, football became a social event. My parents left me off at the school with $1.00 and a […]
“To err is human; to forgive divine” Alexander Pope. Wednesday, I asked you to write about a mistake you may have made in life and what you learned from that time. Today, let’s look at the last part of that quote—“to forgive divine.” For some, forgiveness is easy. Or at least they say they forgive. […]
“To err is human; to forgive divine” was first quoted by the famous poet, Alexander Pope (1688-1744). Today, let’s consider only the first independent clause “to err is human.” We’ll tackle the last part another day. When I asked my 96-year-old mother what she would do differently if she had the opportunity to live life […]
In two months, Mom will be 97 years old. In 1928, her third grade teacher gave her this glass basket vase. Throughout my growing up, the vase held pansies, daisies, violets, and dandelions on a regular basis. When Mom sold our Pennsylvania farm, the vase was one thing Mom could not sell at the estate […]
Today is San Antonio’s Cowboy Breakfast, the world’s largest breakfast, serving tacos with all the trimmings, and it’s all free to the public. This event kicks off the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo that will run for three weeks. It makes me think back to my breakfasts in the 50s and 60s. Mom believed […]
This is a longer post today because I wanted to share “Our Special Group” with you that my cousin passed on to me via facebook. I googled it and the original author is unknown; that’s a shame, because it’s a well-written listing of legacy. The Silent Generation was born in the 1930s and 40s. I […]
In the last couple of weeks, Texas has experienced unusual cold. Temperatures plunged below the freezing mark, all the way to 26 degrees on a couple mornings. My husband made a blazing fire in the fireplace each night that made me very happy. However, the Texas cold was nothing like the cold winters we had […]
“Money Makes the World Go Round” was first used in the play Cabaret in 1966. Even though as a young child I thought money was pretty important, I never thought it made the “world go round.” What I did know was that with one nickel, I could buy a Sugar Daddy sucker from Peake’s gas […]
Growing up in northern Pennsylvania, it was common sense that the snow had to be hip-deep before they closed the schools. School bus drivers put chains on their tires; my siblings and I rode sleds to the bottom of the hill and waited for the bus in a tiny, freezing shanty. Sometimes when it started […]
April 4, 1968: I was a second-semester freshman at Mansfield State College when I heard the news of the assassination of Martin Luther King. Friends and family were in disbelief again as they had been in 1963 at JFK’s assassination and would be again just two months later when Bobby Kennedy was killed. Even though […]
