Sometimes I wish that I had kept writing in a diary. I started when I was in middle school and kept it up through the middle of college. The, I stopped. Even if the entries were not exciting, I can look back and get a feel for what I was doing on any given day, […]

I booked the flight to DC to see my dad at the end of June. I got a decent price, even considering I have to buy a seat for my daughter now. I think I heard I got my tickets purchased about a week before most of the airlines were going to hike up prices […]

We take pride in this house we live in right now. It’s small, but it’s tidy. The lawn is one of the best in the neighborhood and I have taken a considerable amount of time putting in flowerbeds, fruit trees, flowering trees, and lush potted plants that I hang off of shepherd’s hooks. The house […]

When I was growing up, there was this little trend in my community in using metal roofing for the bits of roof that stuck out over a breakfast nook, or perhaps for the back porch. It was more of a decorate flourish. Now, though, when I look at some of the new construction going on […]

Mystery is hot right now. Or, rather, mystery is a hot genre in literature right now. When I browse the new releases at the bookstore or the library, I have been noticing that more and more of the popular books are mystery novels, most in a series format. A lot of them employ elements of […]

I’ve been thinking about apples and apple recipes, because the apple trees in our back yard are positively dropping with ripe apples. I know apples in Florida sounds impossible. These are very special apples, though, and are grown normally in Israel. So, they tend to grow well here in our subtropical climate.

When one of my friends started making upgrades in her house and installed wood floors and crown molding by herself, I was disappointed that she had not let me know ahead of time so I could get up there to help her. My generosity is, of course, laced with a healthy doe of selfishness. I […]
