The following is a true story, happened to a close friend of mine. But first, do you believe in angels? Because I do. I don’t know as I’ve ever met one, and that’s just the thing. How would you know? Snow Angels in Disguise by allie taylor Several years ago she told me this story….
Pandemonium of Parrots
A Pandemonium of Parrots? An embarrassment of pandas? I’m a word person: fascinated by unusual appellations and semantics. Maybe you are too? Perhaps I take after my mom. She’s a word person, writer, and Scrabble aficionado. (Seriously, she could play the word aficionado. That, and land every X, Q and Z in the bag on a…
Funny Valentine
Oh my, but I giggled and giggled, laughed so hard the other night. Then I started coughing, thought I’d choke. I think I worried Jon. Funny Valentine by allie taylor We were just about to turn in for the night, and I was vainly attempting to read aloud from the confiscated valentine pile. They just…
Glimpse of Sunshine: Part 2
Thursday a week ago was such an amazing miracle-filled day all around. I had absolutely no idea when I woke up that morning what the day would hold. Guess we never know what a day holds. Glimpse of Sunshine: Part 2 by allie taylor Remember that Thursday? It was the day Hudson clearly said hello…
Can’t Buy This
Many moons ago, almost seventeen years now, a bouncing little baby arrived into the world, joined our family. We didn’t know pink or blue, but delighted to discover a baby boy in the delivery room. Can’t Buy This by allie taylor Fast forward several years. “We” are expecting again. (Nuthin’ “we” about it, folks.) My nervous…
Let Them Eat Cake
We have a real treat in store today, a trip to Frosted Joy Bakery. Eye candy? Uh huh. More like eye cake. Let Them Eat Cake! I met Carrie many years ago, when she was just a kid. I was practically a kid myself, just newly married. I’ve had the joy and privilege of watching Carrie…
Glimpse of Sunshine
A truly beautiful and monumental thing happened just this morning. Only Hudson and I know about it. It involved three people, but only two of us “get it”. It’s after lunch now, and I was just pairing up winter boots and gloves by the side door, vacuuming up the salt and grime that comes with…
Maple Taffy on Snow
I grew up in the beautiful back woods of Rhode Island. Our retired neighbors, the Pecks, lived on a hundred acres next door. Mr. and Mrs. Peck were an endless source of entertainment, wonder and companionship for me as a child. He, a retired engineer with striped engineer’s hat, shock of white hair and…
Unconventional Mousetrap
I sat by lamplight, dutifully bill paying at the kitchen counter. It was Friday night, in the dead of winter. Jon gone on a business trip, wouldn’t get home ‘til midnight. The kids watching “Robots” in the rec. room, scarfing popcorn. Unconventional Mousetrap by allie taylor Scritch scritch. I froze. Scratch. Silence. Tch tch. Noiselessly, I…
Her Piano Recitals
I’ve got Her Piano Recitals on the brain because Charlie was performing in one last night. (Now it’s on your brain too!) 🙂 Charlie’s was a beautiful recital in every way. Partly because it was only forty-five minutes. (Kudos, we thank you music teachers!) Her Piano Recitals by allie taylor Partly because Charlie was well prepared for his…
