Are you more of a night or morning person? I have always been a morning person. When I was in college, I took as many 8:00 am classes as I could. When I was teaching, I would get to school early and would work with students before school. By the…

Thursday was Thanksgiving in the US, a time where we reflect on those things for which we are grateful. Last week at this time, I was looking forward to celebrating with our family, and thankful that Ken would be able to enjoy the holiday. Last year, he was in extreme…

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Living in South Florida, I take the beach for granted. We don’t go to the beach that often, but it’s always there, and it’s usually a wonderful, relaxing experience. Just today, Ken and I talked about going for a beach walk on…

What book are you reading right now? I’m currently reading The Women by Kristin Hannah. This is somewhat of an unexpected read for me. As much as I love historical fiction, and as many WWII novels as I’ve read, I’ve avoided anything related to the Vietnam war. It just intersects…

Continue reading →: In Praise of the Schluck
Although three of my grandparents were Pennsylvania Dutch, and they all spoke at least a bit of the German dialect commonly called Pennsylvania Dutch, I only learned a few words. The only one I still use is the one I heard most often: Schluck. The term refers to a small…

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). I tend to be pretty frugal when I buy things for myself, but I made one splurge that looks more expensive than it actually was. A local jeweler was offering “grab bags:” gift bags with stones…
