This is the last of the stories from our staycation at the river, except this one didn’t actually happen at the river. In ten days with four people, you sure can accumulate lots of towels and dirty clothes. Obviously, we have no washer and dryer in the camper, so the past few years, over our

The Bookworm Sez: “I’m an American” by Darshana Khiani, illustrated by Laura Freeman0
Big loud booms. Crackles from the skies and pretty colors falling from the stars. That’s what makes an Independence Day celebration, but what makes you an American? Is it the way you honor the flag, or the clothes you wear, or is it the get-togethers you have with family? In the new book, “I Am

Boy, do I have some fun stories to share with you all! It’s been two weeks since I’ve written a column. I got an extra one done before our ten-day vacation, and a lot has happened since. I think this week, I am going to start with the day we were leaving for the river.

Here I am in the car on an eight-and-a-half-hour road trip, writing my column. Time wasn’t on my side to get it done before we left, but when you have hours in the car, you might as well write. I do get car sick, but I just have to stop here and there and look

The Game of Memory0
It’s funny how you see or hear something, and it takes you back to something you hadn’t thought about in years. Today my son Tyler was getting ready to go fishing at the river. It’s hot, and the sun is bright. I packed him some snacks in my lunch box and made sure he had

With Memorial Day behind us, all signs are pointing toward the lazy days of summer. Or, at least nostalgia for those carefree days summer always promised us as kids. Truth is, summer can be a very hectic time, and work does not stop for most grown-ups. However, the idea of summer camp makes me long

The human body is a well-oiled machine that is a wonder of biological efficiency when working properly. The body’s immune system is integral to keeping a person healthy, and it does that by recognizing foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, and then launching an attack to eradicate them. Sometimes, however, the body treats outside

Allergies are the symptoms of our immune system’s defensive response to things we encounter that our body deems as “unsafe.” Most commonly, dust mites, pollen, mold, certain foods, plants, or bug stings/bites are the trigger. Allergies can put a damper on enjoying the warmer weather, time outside, and all that the season has to offer.

In July of 2016 I wrote the following: “Let’s make this perfectly clear. Crystal clear. Just-Windexed-sun-streaming-in-clear. There is never, and I mean never, a justification for rape or sexual assault. I don’t care if you bought her a drink. I don’t care if you bought her dinner. I don’t care if she flirted with you.

Spring is here, and it is almost time for the Easter Bunny to come hopping down the lane. Many of us have childhood memories of getting new church clothes for Easter. Whether they were brand new, hand-me-downs, or homemade, Easter was a time for a bit of springtime finery to be put on display. Now

The nights are getting longer, and afternoons are feeling warmer. Spring is officially among us. We were so lucky this year; it really was a mild winter.

“Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ort!” — in other words, “May the blessing of St. Patrick’s Day be on you.” I am not Irish. Not even a little bit. According to 23andMe, I am Italian and German. Leaning heavily towards the Italian. But there’s nothing wrong with finding the Irish spirit and having some St. Patrick’s

Goodbye Lycoming Mall0
I can’t believe the mall doesn’t exist anymore. It’s so sad. I have so many wonderful memories there throughout my lifetime. Growing up, weekends were about going to the mall.

As the great closet clean-out of 2023 commences, I find that I’m putting items aside not for donation or re-sell but instead for storage.
