MR. FOSTER’S DRUGSTORE

We lived in Alton when Rusty was about two years old and Rich was one year. Grandma lived about 4 doors up the street at that time and took care of the boys while we were at work. Rich was napping at home while Gma kept an eye out – Fang and I took Russ along with us to pick up a prescription at... Sign in to see full entry.

LAUNDRY DAY

As I was putting clean sheets on the bed a couple days ago, a memory came flitting into mind. It was a sunny Saturday in July of 1960. “Fang” and I had been to the laundromat, first washday after we were married. It was time to make the bed. Of course his mama hadn’t shown him the method my mom had... Sign in to see full entry.

SNOW DAY AT THE GROCERY STORE

The list: milk, eggs, bread, coffee, cheese, produce. Around noon Sunday I decided to head for the store. Primary items, a loaf of gluten-free bread and a small packet of blueberries, maybe some cottage cheese (low sodium) to add a bit of protein & calcium to the menu. I’d have waited for my usual...

PATZ HATZ

GO FRIEND ME My daughter in Florida stays in touch with her friends from back home, this little town I call Mundane. A few months ago Robin had a breast cancer exam that didn’t go well and went in for follow-up, including a lumpectomy. Fortunately it wasn’t the Big C, just a wake-up call to keep her...

BLACK FRIDAY AT THE OK CORRAL

It was the kind of day where all Kari wanted to do was eat chocolate, prop her feet up and watch soap operas. She wanted the brats to go to school or with their friends to the mall – anywhere but underfoot. As for George, if he worked night every night for the foreseeable future that would suit her...

HO! HO! HO! - JINGLE ALL THE WAY

TOYS There’s a saying “The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.” Like all clichés, there’s some truth to this statement. But toys in this the 21st Century – for boys, girls and grownups, are all quite expensive. Electronics, tech items especially. Folks want the latest version... Sign in to see full entry.

INFINITY SCARVES

RPresta commented on yesterday’s post about the infinity scarf that she didn’t know what that was. The design of it is based on a math thing called the M ö bius strip. "An example of a Möbius strip can be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the... Sign in to see full entry.

OLD FRIENDS AND KIND HEARTS

An old Blogit bud of mine has been on my mind in the past week or so, I’ve been wondering how he’s doing. He was one of several excellent thinkers and writers I used to follow daily until he decided Blogit was a bit too much of a good thing and no longer shared his take on the world. He used to tell...

IT’S ALL A BLUR

As “everyone” told me, the surgery was no big deal. I’ve been doing the eye drops as dr. ordered, don’t like ‘em, but there you go, do it anyway. It was kind of fun stopping by Denny’s on the way home and watching people pretending not to notice my plastic eye patch. The food was extra tasty because... Sign in to see full entry.
