  • Looking Out My Backdoor

    Sondra Ashton|May 13, 2026

    I’m a decently good cook using simple, good ingredients. I am not a gourmet cook. I leave that to Kathy, an honor she deserves. I like to have guests to share meals. I’m past cooking for large groups. I’ll leave that to Nancie; that’s her forte. Some things I won’t attempt, much as I love them. Lani makes the most delicious chicken livers, which I savor. A long, long time ago I learned to leave specialties to special people. Rose made raised doughnuts that floated off the plate. I watched her make them, took notes, followed precise instructi...

  • Hello God - It's me, Mara

    May 13, 2026

    You know, Lord, Mother’s Day has been around like ‘forever’; it’s celebrated worldwide, a ‘salute’ to our mothers. In the U.S.A. motherhood is celebrated and recognized the second Sunday in May. Our Mom never spoke much about that day or what she and her siblings did to ‘honor’ their Mom but she told us that it began in the USA before 1915. She told how they, as a family, always went to church and that carnations were given to all mothers. Even when we were little kids that tradition held true and, in some churches, even so today. White carnati...
