Medicine in Maine
I have been whinging, whining and weeping for the past week. Why?
Well, it all began last Friday with my yearly mammogram. I guess it's
nature's payback for writing that "Bra" story

Bra Crazy
I never paid my chest area too much attention; that is, until I reached my middle sixties. It was only then that "Mother Nature" decided to attune for her lack of attention in my youth and I awoke one fine morning only to discover that I was now "amply" endowed and that's putting it mildly.

I crossed the line again today
Going back in time
To my childhood, my growing up years
A better place, if only in my mind...

Julia and the Maple Syrup
Mommy cooked all of Julia's favorite foods. She made hot chocolate,
French toast and bacon and eggs just the way Daddy loved them. Daddy
came down the stairs and into the kitchen and Julia had to laugh when
she was her father. He didn't know it but he still had a small dab of
shaving cream on the side of his face. It made Julia giggle as she
watched him kiss Mommy because now Mommy had some shaving cream on her
face too! Julia laughed and she pointed at Daddy's face and then he
laughed too when he saw the shaving cream on Mommy's face.

Tha Bear
Old Piney Woodsman had a really bad habit and this habit drove everyone who knew him just a little bit crazy. He had the habit of stretching the truth just a little and some folks thought that he stretched the truth more than just a little, if the truth be told.

Protocol of Potato Picking
Growing up in Aroostook County, Maine, we knew a lot about potatoes, not because we were particularly interested in them but because they were always all around us and dad worked with that specie all of his natural life.

Great Grammy Ida
Another hazard about visiting our great Aunt Cassie was her mother-in-law, whom we always called Grammy Ida. Grammy Ida's maiden name was Rafford and she was Scottish through and through. By the time we were old enough to meander down the road on our own to visit Aunt Cassie, Grammy Ida had reached the ripe old age of ninety-five and she was all bent over from a combination of old age and arthritis.

Tha Boots
In 1954 Dad fell in love. But the really odd thing about this new-found love affair wasn't that he fell in love with another woman and his strange feelings didn't bother Mother one dite. You see, Dad fell in love with a pair of hunting boots.

The Saga of a Cough
I slept the sleep of the dead what with all the cough medicine I'd taken shortly before I'd been stupid enough to crawl under the bed for that friggin cough drop. I never heard a thing.

The Radio
Ever the "bargain" hunter, I took myself off to my local Goodwill store last Wednesday to have a look around. Now that I'm "retired" I like to get out of the house at least once a week to check out the shopping deals in our local stores in Lewiston and Auburn, Maine. Sometimes, my intuition nudges me and I just know that I'm going to find something special on that little shopping trip and I usually do.

Tha Trip
More than twenty-five years ago, I'd been fortunate to have a teaching position in Taipei at the National Defense Language Center. So, when I received an e-mail from Mary about six months ago, it was like a bolt from out of the blue!

Billy's Billy
When I was about nine years old I remember Mother and Grammy and other older relatives discussing the adoption of a young man by another member of our extended family. Everyone agreed that this adoption was a very good thing for all concerned and as the years passed Billy was often in and out of our lives on a daily basis. He had a charming manner and all those who came in contact with him, loved him and I was no exception.

Angel
Every once in a while, all the Gods in the universe get together and create a child that is so beautiful, so talented that it's almost as though they tried too hard. A child such as this was born in our small town of Ashland to a poor French Canadian family.

Wiskers & The Cat Show
Hearing the sleepy kitten make a soft snoring sound in her ear, Peyton laughed. "Oh Wiskers, you really are such a sleepy head." She stroked him softly and carried him out the door. She carefully laid him down in a big yellow basket and started off down the street.

Leaving
She'd been visiting the University of Maine in Presque Isle and just as she'd been about to get into her car, her eyes had been drawn to a tiny, bundle of red fur that was huddled against the side of the Administration Building.

Discontented Americans
We no longer want the simple things in life. We want bigger cars, larger houses, more money. Two people live in houses that have four bedrooms, three baths, and formal and informal living rooms.
