The Wisdom of Dr. Seuss

January 30, 2011

I realize that citing the readings of Dr. Seuss might seem juvenile, but one book in particular speaks to me. It’s a little known book that Dr. Seuss had batted around in sketches and notes, but sadly had never published before he died. Upon his death in 1991, his editor asked his secretary for the [...]

Jamaican Creamsicle – 5:00 Fridays

January 28, 2011

Cocoa Cozy – 5:00 Fridays

January 14, 2011

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and the holidays are long over. North Carolina winters have turned cruel since we moved here nine years ago. I long ago ditched my quilted parka and moon boots that carried me through many winters in Minneapolis, Madison, and Chicago. I was happy to throw on a sweater or [...]
