I’d never done it before, and I think it surprised everyone in the house who heard me confess to it: I’d never ridden a subway. We don’t have one in my hometown of Litchfield, Michigan. (Actually, we don’t even have a traffic light in Litchfield.) I never had the need to use public transportation in any [...]

Adopted

“I’m going to be adopted!”
I heard those words from a complete, but obviously gleefully happy, stranger this morning.
I stepped out my door to get the car out of the garage so I could take Michael to work. As I did, a student passed by my house on foot. I couldn’t tell if it was a [...]

Yesterday, Zach and I went to visit the principal of the public high school he will attend next year. The main purpose of our visit, other than to meet this very nice gentleman, was to determine if Zach would be able to enter as a sophomore, based on the high school credits he has earned [...]

For once, I did it. I managed to get some lilies of the valley cut and to carry them, with their indescribable fragance, into my house before the rain and warm May days turned the short-lived bell blossoms brown. Ah, I think heaven should smell like this!
Speaking of heavenly smells–I had an experience a week ago [...]

Don’t laugh when you try to picture this: Beginning last Sunday and going through the middle of June, I’m teaching a class of 70-somethings (or so; some may be a little younger–I don’t ask and they don’t tell) each week at our church. I’m a substitute teacher.
I’ve subbed in that class before this little stint. [...]
BTW

(My sister asked me just the other day what I meant by “BTW”–it becomes a convenient shorthand to use for “by the way” and one can be inconsiderate with such usage.)
But, by the way, I just wanted to say that, even though I made a big announcement a couple of months ago that I was [...]
Fresh Wonder

Yesterday was my granddaughter Melanie’s first visit to the zoo. Thanks to our handy-dandy zoo pass (one of the best bargains in Fort Wayne if you visit the zoo more than a couple of times per summer), daughter Ellen, Melanie, and I could all get in without paying additional entrance fees.
It is good to see [...]
