We are enroute home from Arcadia, the town where Sarah and Gregorio live, which is about 45 minutes east of where we live. We are returning from a 4 hour visit with baby Luna and Sarah. Gregorio had to leave to go to class. He is getting a Master’s degree in Archaeology and tonight was…

A Lesson to Remember
I have a needlepoint in my living room that reads: Give Me Time Time for patience for understanding too Time to remember thoughtful things to do Time to believe in all fellowmen Time to perceive the value of a friend I say, Amen to that!
First Full Day Home
I guess it would be disingenuous of me to think I could write about anything else besides my new little granddaughter, Luna, the girl with whom I just spent the greater part of the afternoon and the evening. I guess you wouldn’t be surprised to hear how velvety soft her skin is – and her…
A Surprise
Last night I became a grandmother. Tonight, all I can do is stare at my little granddaughter’s picture. This is after seeing her twice today on two separate visits to the hospital. Tomorrow we go see her again. I am already hopelessly in love. I haven’t felt this feeling EVER. Perhaps because now I know…
Another Delicious Cookie Recipe
I made my non-refined sugar version of these cookies today and I must say they are super-delicious. They are moist, spicy and filling since they have raisins and walnuts. The recipe calls to make them into two logs that are later sliced rather than putting them on the cookie sheet as individual cookies. I’d never…
Three Beloved Objects that Connect Me To My Past
I am sitting at the round table in the living room, which is my work spot. This is where I see my writing students and this is where I write. I also do bills here and billing and read online and off. Three items in this room are especially important to me: the fireplace, a…
Waiting for Luna
Ray, Liz, Rachael and I joined Sarah and Gregorio this afternoon at their apartment for an Easter meal and a general hang-out day. (Ron, Liz’s boyfriend, went with us to church this morning, but needed to spend this afternoon with his family.) We are in the countdown for Luna Isabella’s birth, which the doctor has…
Drooping This Evening…
I am too tired to write tonight. I don’t want to write anything. I want to go upstairs, take a nice long bath and go straight to bed. Some days are like that. No writing inspiration at all. I have been writing all day today – editing other people’s work. That’s okay. I like editing….
An Afternoon and Evening in Downtown LA
I am back home after spending half the afternoon and most of the evening in downtown LA. I had lots of fun on my mini-adventure. Ray and I parked our car at the church parking lot in Hollywood, then walked the half a mile down to the subway station at Hollywood and Highland. We passed…
A Lazy Sunday and Rachael’s Lunch Celebration
I am sitting in the living room with Liz. She is studying for the bar exam and I am here on my computer writing my blog. In the den, Ray, Rachael and Keara (Rachael’s roommate) are watching the movie Bernie, which I have already seen twice. (I highly recommend it, by the way.) Sarah and…
