A few people have asked me this month if I’ve stopped writing my column, and I have to report that my life just got too hectic around deadline time last month. My column was not in the Community Word, because I had a couple bad weeks and just didn’t get it written. I was...

Each month I start thinking about what to write about, and end up pretty much just relating the things that have happened during the last month. However, I am not doing any traveling right now and do not have anything terribly exciting to write about. But maybe it’s okay to just write about the...

Another rainy spell and then hot, hot hot. I do wish it would come in moderation. It seems to come in too much, too hot or too something. I am so looking forward to fall when temperatures will moderate a little and there will be cool evenings again. I just came back from walking...

Another month, another lesson learned. Just when I think I’ve kind of got it made in this world, I get another knock on the side of my head. It’s like the Universe is saying, “Look I gave you a lesson last fall when I sent you to the hospital with a minor stroke, but...

It seems that Mother Nature is not able to do things in moderation. Maybe we, particularly me, could take a lesson from her. We need rain, but get so much that it almost drowns us. Then it gets so hot that we, particularly me, can not stand to go out in the sun. I...
