Over the years, I’ve taken to asking my grandma if we can host “friend dinners” at her house.

It was a way for her and my late grandfather to meet my awesome ...

Writing a column every week is hard. Not the writing so much. It’s the coming up with topics week after week that taxes the nooks and crannies of my cerebrum, cerebellum and Cocoa Wheats.
That’s why I keep a file of random thoughts and observations — to goose the gerbils in my brain to ...
As I rooted around for inspirational quotes about February, I came across this ridiculousness:
“February: Our last chance to NOT play in the snow.”
Whichever great philosopher came up with that piece of faux wisdom obviously isn’t from northeast Ohio! We can NOT play in the snow all ...
I stacked tonight’s dirty dishes on top of last night’s still littering the sink.
My kicked my balled-up coat further into the corner against the closet door — the coat closet door.
I haven’t coaxed the vacuum cleaner to life since… let’s not get into that. I don’t know if my ...

The dire predictions of snow and ice piled up much higher than the actual snow and ice, but still, it was sufficient to keep us tucked away in our homes.
I used to dream about days like this when I was a kid. Growing up in the ...
This column goes out to all of you who live with risk every day of your lives. You know who you are.
You’re the ones who allowed love to happen despite the uncertainty. You had kids. You started your own business. You trusted someone when every fiber of your being screamed at you not ...
I have to ask: who still has their holiday decorations up? Don’t worry; no judgment here. I’m just genuinely curious.

As I’ve shared before, the moment Halloween ends, ...
There’s something magical about stumbling upon a hidden gem, a place that wows you not just for its beauty, but for the sheer surprise of its existence.
These aren’t always the flashy spots you see on travel guides or Instagram feeds — they’re the ones that quietly take your breath ...
Well, here we are — at the doorstep of another year. Can you believe it? Another 12 months have flown by in what feels like the blink of an eye.
Some of us are probably scratching our heads, wondering where the time went, while others are ready to wave goodbye to 2024 with a mix of relief ...
In my earlier years of gardening, I was attracted to and purchased unusual plants. Many of those didn’t survive beyond their first year. As I have “matured,” I have redirected my purchases toward the easy-to-grow natives that feed our local pollinators. The hotter, drier summers have ...

As I watched a woodpecker banging away at a tree, it made me think, why don’t woodpeckers get headaches or suffer brain trauma from all that drumming? So, I looked it up.
Once again, nature has created a miracle that does not allow the woodpecker to get headaches or become dizzy. ...
