Salvage From the Train Wreck

16DecemberSuzanne3 CommentsHome in the Rookery

Last night we were supposed to see an art show, for our daughter, and attend a winter concert in which our son participated.Â Instead, we got me to the doctor, drove all over town not quite making necessary connections, cleaned up vomit, andÂ mopped up after ourÂ flooding fishtank.Â Our son and his dad did make it

Wrapping Up the Week

12DecemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

I haven’t done one of those ‘this week in words’ posts in a long while, but if I did, this weeks’ words would include a lot of fast action verbs, severalÂ dealing with parties and holidays, and a few unmentionable curse words. We’ve had workmen of one sort or another out here every day this week.Â

Talking the Cat out of the Tree

10DecemberSuzanne2 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Writing

Last night at something close to 11:00pm, I located our tom cat, Shadow.Â It’s a part of my routine toÂ put the cats up each night, but there have been times when Shadow opted to stay out overnight.Â However, last night when I called him, he meowed back.Â And meowed.Â And meowed.Â But never got any

A Whole New Way to Celebrate

8DecemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Today I’m celebrating a new milestone.Â One that is so momentous it has brought me to the stuttering point, and so far-reaching I will celebrate it every year from this day forward.Â What addition to my life has brought about all this gushing? …hold that breath… My very own personalÂ post office scale. I’ve been using

Winter Party Despite the Weather

7DecemberSuzanne3 CommentsHome in the Rookery

I’m in the midst of planning a winter party.Â Now, if we lived somewhere frigid and obligingly snowy, we’d just pack everyone off to go sledding, toss a few snowballs, warm up with hot chocolate, and call it good. Since the brief dusting of snow we had a month ago will probably be the last

A Car with No Work Ethic

4DecemberSuzanne4 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Our car recently decided it needed a vacation.Â When we didn’t provide one, it took a few days off under the pretense of ‘calling in sick’.Â That was the week before last, and though we grumbled, we decided to let the issue slide.Â After all, we rarely give it any time off. Then last week,

O Christmas Tree

3DecemberSuzanne4 CommentsHome in the Rookery

Some of my earliest memories of Christmas center around the tree.Â I love the music, the deeper spiritual celebration, and the family traditions, but I’m a visual person so the vivid image of a glowing tree has always stood out bright in my mind.Â I also really loved the scent of a fresh cut pine,Â kept
