Continue reading →: Out to Lunch
We rarely go out to dinner, but lunch is another matter. Before Covid, we went out for lunch every Wednesday and Saturday. Wednesday was usually “cheap lunch”—a sub at Jersey Mike’s or a pick two at Panera, for example. Saturday lunches were usually at sit down restaurants. Obviously, lockdown ended…

Today has been a day dominated by salads, and that’s a good thing! We had a church picnic after our service today. It may sound strange to be having a picnic in October, but this is Florida, so we can picnic pretty much year round. The weather was gray and…

Continue reading →: Seven Principles
What principles define how you live? My answer to this prompt is one that is obvious to me, and represents an important part of my life. Almost 10 years ago, Ken and I became part of a Unitarian Universalist congregation. Although we had both grown up and spent most of…

What I thought was going to be a pretty uneventful storm, at least for us, turned into a pretty stressful event. If you have read or seen any of the news coverage of Hurricane Milton, you probably heard about the tornadoes the storm generated. One of the most destructive twisters…

Who are your favorite artists? I’m taking a different approach to this question. I could start listing singers, instrumentalists, performing groups, visual artists, dancers, and on and on.

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? When I retired from teaching, I never thought that I’d have as many things to occupy my time as it’s turned out. There’s no way I can name a single favorite hobby or pastime, so I’m going to talk about several. I no…

Continue reading →: The Place vs. the People
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. When I retired from teaching, I began volunteering at our local botanical garden. I had experience at another garden years before, helping with their children’s tour program, so I was asked to serve as a docent, or tour guide,…

I love spending time in the kitchen, but as much as I enjoy cooking and baking, I’ve never owned a stand mixer. I received a hand-held mixer as a wedding shower gift, so I wasn’t totally without a mixer. I was still an undergraduate when Ken and I married, then…
