It's a Different Kind of Christmas This Year

Originally Written in 2017   Instead of reading my Christmas newsletter or reading a story, I’d like to share with you what happened to me this week.  Some things that make it a  Different Kind of Christmas  for me.  Call it strange – or maybe odd or inexplicable are better words – but, different anyway.     This is a  Different Kind of Christmas  for me this year.  You all know about the trials and tribulations of trying to get my aunt and uncle to each sign a Power of Attorney, Health Directive and Will before they passed away last December.  And… of course, the headache and heartache of emptying their home of 67 years and selling the house, etc.      And, of course, being the main caregiver for my brother, Steve, who died on Father’s Day, was – and is – a very heartbreaking ordeal.  I miss him so much.   You may remember my missing our writing group meeting a couple of w...

Peace (and Quiet)

Originally Written Between 2017-2020                                           “Hi, Mary.  This is Jane.  Dick and I will be in Minneapolis in a couple of weeks visiting our kids.  We’d love to get together for lunch and catch up on old times.  Are you available on Wednesday, the 15 th ?”   Well, we were available for lunch on that day and arranged to meet at our home and then go on to a restaurant.  We hadn’t seen our former neighbors since they had moved away a few years’ back and thought it would be nice to get together.   It is now Wednesday, June 15 th .  Noon.  We greet Dick and Jane at our door with hugs and the usual “good to see you!” and “you look great!” comments.  And those were practically the last words Norm and I spoke for the next six hours.   Their dog, a small dog nam...

Invisible Transition

Originally Written Between 2017-2020                                     I am a good driver.  Now, I may be the only one who thinks so; but, you just have to believe me.  Norm doesn’t. I’m doing most of the driving now and he is an unbearable “back-seat driver.”  He says it’s “payback” for all the back-seat driving that I did for years and years.  He may be right.   I really don’t like to drive – especially long distances.  Going to Duluth is about the right distance for me.  One-way, that is.  I don’t mind driving back to the Twin Cities after a full night’s sleep overlooking Lake Superior.  And that is what brings me to my story today.   Norm and I took our minivan to Duluth in September to watch two of our grandsons play football.  We stayed overnight at the Downtown Duluth Motel – which...
