“Anticipatory” Advent
What a great word. It’s an adjective but unfortunately we use it as a verb as though we can propel forward and predict outcomes that haven’t happened. In our minds we have the ability to end what hasn’t begun. We … Continue reading

Christmas Tradition: “The Iron Curtain”
Raised in the 50’s when the Iron Curtain was an imaginary and exaggerated fear, our home had its own iron curtain on Christmas Eve. Although only made of cotton, it still kept from us from one place to another. The … Continue reading

“The Circle Game”
Round & Round She Goes… Perry Como sang, “it goes round and round…” and probably no one remembers the song except me. Anyway, I bought a cylinder toy for my cats. It sits on the floor and casts a small … Continue reading
