Ah, holiday shopping. While fun for some, for others it’s the bane of their existence. I fall somewhere in between. If I’m shopping early, it’s fun. If it’s late, and I’m rushing like a dog that’s got the “zoomies,” it’s not fun. In fact, I’d rather just have the zoomies and run around my house […]

During this quarantine, I’ve discovered a lot about my husband. Like if he could, he’d work from home forever. Or how he likes sitting on the front porch to watch hummingbirds just as much as I do. Oh, and he’s cheating on me. But it’s not what you think: it’s not with another woman (or […]

I don’t like to lie. I was raised to tell the truth, even if it was difficult. Like when my Mom’s stained-glass lamp broke. But let’s not talk about that… I take after my Mom in that there is no “bull” with me; if you ask my opinion, I’ll give you an honest one. Sure, […]

THUNK! That used to be the sound we would hear when the delivery man would plunk down two huge phone books on our front steps—the white pages and the yellow pages. We used them all the time. As the internet has become so important in our daily lives, I haven’t used one of those phone […]

I was looking on Facebook over the weekend, and a friend of mine shared a photo from a store she was in. All you could see were lighted and decorated Christmas trees. You read that correctly. And it wasn’t in a Christmas store.

As I’ve written in years past, my husband and I receive over 100 catalogues each holiday season. You read that right—over 100. I don’t know why we get so many because we order from very few of them. But I’m guessing that they buy lists from other companies of folks to mail to hoping against […]

Dear Readers—I know you’re out there, and sometimes I even hear from you. Such was the case when Essex resident Howard Sheckells wrote to me. He suggested a column topic that hits close to home for everyone—especially if you’ll be heading to the grocery store to shop for Thanksgiving dinner.

There are two radio stations in central New York State that have begun playing Christmas music… Um, you do remember that it’s only October, right? In fact, it’s hot right now. “Indian Summer,” as we used to call it when I was a kid, has shown up, and we actually had to put the air […]
