Your Life & Mine: Books From Childhood

Bysuehar July 19, 2017July 7, 2017

On a bookshelf in my office, I keep a group of ragged books By Laura Ingalls Wilder. You can see from the photo above that they’ve been used hard and read often. If I hired a decorator to help me add a touch of the artistic to my home, I imagine she or he would…

A Glance Back/ offices old and new

Bysuehar May 17, 2014May 17, 2014

For the past month, you’ve been listening to me yammer about our move. Our “loft apartment” is just across the street from our present home, but, when the move is such a short distance, you tend to accomplish it box by box instead of in one truckload. So expect us to continue this odyssey for…

A Glance Back – End of Winter?

Bysuehar May 2, 2014May 2, 2014

This week our weather was pretty vicious, but at least our snow is melting, most of the bay ice is gone, and we have a forecast of warmer days to come! I took photos of our two biggest snowbanks as of May 1: The melting snow is definitely the good news, but the bad news…

A Glance Back — Cedar Cove

Bysuehar April 25, 2014

At least once a day, my father goes through these doors with a smile on his face and an ache in his heart. He goes there because the love of his life is spending her last days being loved and cared for by the kind and competent staff at Cedar Cove Assisted Living. My mother…

A Glance Back – Moving!

Bysuehar April 18, 2014April 18, 2014

In about three weeks, we’re moving from our current home to a smaller place just across the road. Meanwhile, I’ve found a new reason for gratitude. The lowly cardboard box. God bless that person who invented these marvels of modern life. They can be broken down flat to take up little room when you don’t…

A Glance Back – Flat Stanley!

Bysuehar April 11, 2014

About six weeks ago a house guest came to live with us via the auspices of a young man very close to our hearts (grandson close). Right away, we struck up a great friendship with FLAT STANLEY, and he’s been a part of our days ever since. We didn’t travel much, but Stanley found lots…

Bysuehar April 5, 2014

Last week we celebrated my dad’s 87th birthday. As we have for the past two years, we set our celebration at Cedar Cove Assisted Living where my mom now makes her home. I thought you might like to see some pictures of our time together. My Dad is the one with the “birthday hat” on!…

A Glance Back – Daughter Days!

Bysuehar March 28, 2014March 31, 2014

Last weekend our daughter Krystal spent a few days with us helping her dad (my husband Neil) on one of his building projects. After she left, Neil and I had a happy discussion about how Krystal’s upbeat attitude lifts our spirits and spurs us on in our various endeavors. So my glance back today is…

A Glance Back – Arthritis

Bysuehar March 14, 2014March 14, 2014

About three weeks ago, I noticed that I couldn’t straighten my right middle finger, and now I’m having trouble with the left middle finger, too. I use my hands hard. I garden, I do house and yard work for us and our parents, I play musical instruments, and I type. A lot. Now, when it…
