Finally, a full night’s sleep, and I am happy and energized. I arrived home by 6:15 PM, Friday evening, fed and pottied the dogs, and finished the remainder of my Marion’s Pizza from Thursday evening. At 6:50 PM, I crawled … Continue reading →

From September 1979 through August 1983, I worked at The Elwood Public Library and it has always remained one of the greatest experiences of my young adult years. The library had been lovingly maintained and I am thrilled it was … Continue reading →

Friday seemed to travel at the speed of light this week. Weekends don’t hold as much for me as they once did the way my teaching and Park schedule works but I still think of Friday as a turning point … Continue reading →

It’s a somewhat chilly, damp morning with some wind making it a bit yucky. Last evening, we finally received the rain that was projected throughout the day, always leaving me worried for our Guests at The Park, or those who … Continue reading →

I can do the basics with electronics, especially computers and laptops. I am horribly handicapped by the heavy-duty computer maintenance and have always been blessed with students or friends, nearby, who have attended to computer hardware needs. Yesterday at The … Continue reading →

It’s a rather quiet morning. I woke at 7:00 AM just in time to start the weekly Sunday ZoomFest with Josh, Dave, Ann, and Phil while juggling the feeding and pottying of dogs. Now, I am dressed so I can … Continue reading →

It feels mild outside this morning, so I feel better about wearing shorts for my shift at The Park. It’s 47 degrees and we have an expected 73 degrees. I have had two wonderful days of students meeting goals and … Continue reading →

I have always been a planner. I love calendars and schedules as they not only keep me on target with needs and plans but there’s security, as well. I never realized how much being organized and having a clear plan … Continue reading →

The predicted 47 degrees feels as though it is more in the low to mid-60s. It is wonderfully comfortable outside this morning. I had turned off the thermostat yesterday morning and by evening there was still no need to have … Continue reading →

Every day I see upcoming events posted. Great! But they’ve just been posted by the hosting organization for that same evening or the next night. Folks need to know a little more in advance if you want guests other than … Continue reading →

I listen to many podcasts and YouTube documentaries or interviews. Nearly all my selections are about US History, Presidents and First Ladies, The White House, The Wright Brothers, Dayton history, and The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. To be honest, … Continue reading →

The last day of September… my! It seemed as though the month was just getting under way. Yet, here we are, ready to dive into a fun-filled month of marching band, fall sports, Christmas displays sprouting up in stores, and … Continue reading →

Yesterday, we barely got to 60 degrees and today we’re expected to make it to the mid-sixties. Right now, we’re balancing at 43 degrees. The ten-day forecast has us between the mid and upper sixties. Yesterday afternoon, my friend, Chuck … Continue reading →

I have continually mentioned, over this past week, that it is either cold or chilly, and I need to give up that description as the chillier weather is here to stay until Spring returns. Friday was a remarkable day of … Continue reading →

I am loving these nights of complete sleep and fewer trips to the bathroom throughout the night. I sleep soundly and feel refreshed. The best part is that I am not using any sleep aids. It’s 43 degrees and we’re … Continue reading →

I bragged far too much about how well I was sleeping through the night as last night was not one of those super nights. While Harrigan and Bailey snuggled against me, sleeping peacefully, I was blinking awake or getting up … Continue reading →

Joshua Lockwood Logan was a director for both stage and screen, a producer, a playwright, a coach, an actor, and an all around terrific man who loved seeing others succeed and grow. Every year, this date reminds me, even more, … Continue reading →

From THE CARILLON HISTORICAL PARK Facebook page. Happy October 5th! On this date in 1905, practical flight was achieved when Wilbur Wright flew above Huffman Prairie for over 24 miles on a single flight of close to 40 minutes, at … Continue reading →

Let me begin this post by stating that my fall was NOT MS-related. It was ERMA-related. Erma is always terrifically eager to see students arrive. She’s excited to see anyone arrive. Tuesday afternoon, my 4:00 PM student arrived and Erma … Continue reading →
