Getting the Christmas tree properly anchored…

I have a passion for Christmas decorations…

When I was in second grade at St. Pat's…

These felt banners used to hang…

Preparing for the holiday…

There is nothing like a festive holiday party…

I have never been one for cute porcelain figurines…

One would think it was every little girl’s dream…

My sister Kathleen was the first person…

After sporting so many plastic hospital bracelets…

Our mom always said…

This is me, driving…

I stood on the front sidewalk…

When my brother Frank told me that he planned to…

When my great-grandmother died…

“Your momma wears combat boots!”

The human longing for continuity…

Though the joint ain’t officially open…

When our son Wes was three-years-old…

Halloween in our town has never been for scaredy-cats…
