Winter 1993. My husband and I had rented a house in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom for a budget vacation. We had borrowed snowshoes, packed skis, puzzles, and books, envisioning snowy days outside and cozy evenings with hot cocoa and jammies. It was snowing on the long drive. Halfway there, the heat in our Isuzu Trooper quit. We bundled up and kept driving. Then the Trooper started making weird noises and losing power. We drove slower and slower but kept going. The snow stopped. We kept driving. When…
I went to a memorial a few days ago. One speaker after another got up and told these amazing stories. I knew him slightly. It was really his wife I was there for. But hearing these stories gave me such a clear picture of what a special, special guy he was. After the event, I couldn’t stop thinking how sad it was that George wasn’t there. Would he have been surprised to hear how cherished he had been? I thought, Where are you, George? Where are the dead people right after they leave us?…
Happy Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney Phil will have made his prediction by the time you are reading this. I’m not sure what I hope for. The mild temperatures have been pleasant and easy on our wood pile, but it seems worrisome that the ground still hasn’t frozen here. It doesn’t seem right, and I do like having some winter. Feb. 1 is the double birthday of Betty and Janice Haynes. They will share their annual surf and turf dinner, prepared by Bill, and celebrate the beginning of another year.…
Sorry to miss my column last week. Honestly, I was buried up to my ears cleaning out my father’s house with my siblings, in preparation to sell it, and just couldn’t piece together anything that anyone would want to read. Cleaning Pop’s has inspired me to stop saving things. Seriously, we acquire so much “stuff” in our lives, and we save special letters, old schoolwork, knickknacks, and heirlooms. Pop lived a good long life in one house since 1970. And he saved everything. I have downsized…

Members read materials and watch videos on specific topics in advance.…
After years of careful isolation and after two nights in Boston around a medical test, my elderly parents and I came down with COVID. We went a day early because high winds were predicted. It was a relief to be there, but this is rugged. We are super-grateful that my youngest sister, Holly Ganz, was able to fly in from California, and to our friends for running errands and bringing us delicious soups and bread and quiche, and to the many on standby. Here’s hoping we three come out the other side.…

Our weather has continued in the same warm, gray, drizzly pattern we have had for weeks. We had a day of wet snow, but I don’t think we have had a real freeze yet this winter. I have barely needed a coat, except to keep the rain off. Still, it’s nice to want to be outside and pleasant to get chores done, but I know it has to be a sign of our planet’s unnatural warming. I have already taken the first ticks off Nelson, and he has started leaving dead mice on our porches. At least, he is leaving…
