I walked into one of the popular beauty specialty stores and began searching the shelves of the philosophy® brand section for their newest promotional kit. “Can I help you?” a young saleswoman asked. “Are you looking for a cleanser? Bath and shower gels? This brand makes a wonderful moisturizer.” She opened a tester jar, dipped [...]

My Kindle broke. It may have had something to do with dropping it, screen face down…on the tile floor…hard. First was that feeling of disbelief. I had over 500 books saved on it, 450 unread. Mostly free books mind you, but behind this compilation of titles was two years of summary reading and slogging through [...]

I was surprised, to say the least, when my daughter informed me that she would not be wearing my gown on her wedding day – the dress that had been cleaned, boxed and stored with the thought that one day my little girl would wear it down the aisle. The many rows of flat lace, [...]

For nearly thirty years we’d lived in the same house – a comfortable, gray cape with a long, white, spindled porch. A red door and mounded pots of colorful petunias, strategically placed, declared it ours. But it was more than just flowers and color that made it a home. We had already started a family [...]

It was my husband’s retirement dream to wake up in the morning and walk on to a golf course. We planned for it, talked about it and yearned for it, but it was always years away…until it wasn’t. Suddenly, it was time to figure out what we wanted to do, and do it. So, we [...]

Several times a week, I take a walk with my son through the streets of Boston on his way to work. We start out at 9:00 am. This time of year he wears his down jacket and gloves. I fuss at him for not wearing a hat. I’m in my warm, blue robe. We stop [...]

According to the domestic divas, spring cleaning is a big deal. There are many articles with tips, tutorials and printable checklists for all (and I mean all) aspects of this periodic cleansing as the winter cold dwindles, and warm, spring breezes blow fresh, sweet smelling air through our homes. I start to feel seasonally renewed [...]

Daisy was a cross between a Dalmatian and a Beagle. Black and brown spots spattered her short, white hair like a Jackson Pollack canvas. Dark lashes framed her amber brown eyes. She crossed her long legs at the paw and ate her food daintily like the lady she was. We adopted her from a Connecticut [...]

Our house had been on the market for eight, long months, and I had given up hope of starting the New Year in a smaller abode in sunny North Carolina. It seemed inevitable that we would have to endure another snowy, New England winter. We couldn’t ditch the snow blower, the plow, or the assortment [...]
