Blushing because I was caught...

Okay, some of you have friends like these: diligent like royal guards, detailed like FBI agents, and giving like Mother Theresa herself.

Well, it was some of these kinds of friends who look after me who pointed out something quite embarrassing. I had sent cards and the…

The Warm Fuzzy Feelings of Christmas

As I thought about Christmas recently, I realized all those warm fuzzy feelings we experience at this very special time of year come from BEFORE the big day.

Christmas gatherings, where do they go wrong?

Some are wonderful events with love floating in the air. Others are stuffy with tension. We all have those relatives that make the difference - some cranky, others crass, crude, and yet some cool with kind comments. And how about those with crafty loaded with crazy ideas?…

How does a blind person find things?

Simple. As part of my way of doing things, I’ve developed methods that work so well I don’t even notice them as being different from those days when I had sight.…

Do what happens when hubby doesn't take the hint?

So what happens when hubby doesn’t take the hint?

Most of the time it’s my fault. And you’d think I’ve learned by now. Nope. My hubby has been doing so well in taking care of his health. He lost 55 lb. So proud of him!…

SCUBA for the blind?

Gag over sillyl stuff...

Gaga over silly stuff…

That’s me, the new grandmother going gaga over every little whimper our new granddaughter makes.
