      • Bravo CBS!
        02/02/10
        Nice to know CBS didn't bow to those who have a tough time admitting those things women carry in the womb are actually human beings. Sad that in an age where "anything" goes, we have to debate whether we can even say the choice one woman made for life was a good one.

      • About Marriage
        12/20/09
        It was a letter to the editor that makes one wonder how the world got so far removed from morality. The writer claimed the only mistake Tiger Woods made was getting married.

        Oh, brother! Marriage--the great institution for comic slams and insulting jokes. Marriage--the bedrock of society

        The night sky is a very big place. It’s easy to get lost among all those stars. Find out how Santa used the stars to find his way home to the North Pole, and how you can use the stars to find your way around, too! Get to the University of Toledo for this Ritter Planetarium program. It covers the mos

        09/14/09
        They were wonderful. Made us chuckle, brought forth a tear. When it comes to describing your Best Friend in 25 words or less, we were blessed with some real gems. Thanks to all who entered our contest which Levis Commons helped sponsor. Thanks to all the fine merchants at Levis Commons and especiall

        09/08/09
        You can feel it, can't you? The cool nights.
        You can hear it in the cicadas constant hum.
        You can smell the delicious mix of leaves and grasses
        Everything seems different as the calendar moves to September. Football is king once more and where is that apple pie recipe?

        OK, I'll admit it. I whine way too often in this space. It's usually about something I've seen featured on the news that's eiher so dumb, so violent or so irrelevant to anyone's life that I can hardly stand it. Today it's Woodstock. Here's the truth...lots of peopl

        Just in case you haven't noticed, this blog is on again off again. As one who preaches find balance in your life and take time to enjoy a moment of peace, I've been so busy this has languished.

        07/05/09
        Some moments take you back. Some transcend the years. Watching the fireworks on the grounds of Fort Meigs while listening to some mellow music was pictureperfect. A soft breeze, a pastal sunset and little kids running about --we all shuld have such evenings.

        So often in this "bad ne

        07/01/09
        When we heard Perrysburg was voted by Family Circle Magazine one of the seven best places in the U.S. to live, we said, "Told ya!" Playing on the fact that "a prophet is not recognized in his own town," we'd have to say a town is not necessarily appreciated by its own regi

        OK, his music is legendary. His talent amazing. His demise really sad. All that talent and so much personal tragedy but pa-leese... how many more news stories, news shows, news items on Micahel Jackson?

        Sorry, folks, news is devastation in Africa, it's the cauldron of the Middle Eas

        06/14/09
        It's always a surprise when we come to visit family in South Carolina that Ohioans are not appreciated. Some of it is tongue-in-cheek, some of it is really serious. As more and more Buckeyes have moved south, the natives wonder: "Does anyone still live in Ohio?"

        05/24/09
        It's been a real naturalists' day. We turned the garden, bought a bird bath and watched baby robins peek up from their nest on the front porch. Convincing the Mister not to take down the nest when mama Robin was building tooking some talking. "Oh, look at her," I'd coo. &quo

      • The Sands of Southwyck
        05/15/09
        The dome is sitting there exposed as the walls of Southwyck Mall are being dismanteled. For any South Toledo resident Southwyck was once a beacon of fun. The place to go for "whateve" you needed or just the destination for just for a few hours of diversion.

        Nothing in life compares with the joy of being a mother. Although it's a job with no salary and a round-the-clock workload, the benefits pay off for a lifetime.

        Rocking a newborn in the early evening twilight is a time of tranquility no spa can duplicate. Watching him go off to schoo

        Hosting a baby shower always offers a moment to to appreciate the value of new life. Nothing else compares to the wonder of welcoming a new person into this wonderful world. Yes, wonderful-- don't scoff.

        04/19/09
        New research confirms that friends see us through many rough patches in life. Findings prove that bonds of friendship not only add to the quality of life, they help extend it. Lonely people contract and don't fight off illness as well as those who are supported by friends.

        So we

      • Your heart
        04/16/09
        The book of Proverbs says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Guard your heart. Funny isn't it that we're advised to guard what just we love, what we hold dear, what we cling to?

        Makes me think the ancient writer understood well how e

        What a relief. Semi trucks in Ohio are now able to drive 65 mph. How often I've wanted those speeding rigs to go faster as we're barreling down the highway and they're breathing on my bumper.

        Do you sometimes wonder about lawmakers? This one really is a great addition to o

        04/06/09
        Remember when being bored had such a bad rap? Now with the over stimulation of a zillion bits of information coming our way at any given moment I'm starting a movement to elevate the beauty of down time.

        First stop was a soup kitchen. Then an Alzheimer's unit. A home for handicapped children and a site where troubled kids get tutored after school. Sometimes you have no idea how good your life is. Friday I visited 7 agencies in Toledo that help people in need. Whoa...there's a whole lot of
