Let’s face it, I’m addicted to my iPhone and I walk down the street with it in my hand, waiting for heaven knows what important call or text or email. But with the weather changing I’ve discovered you can’t use an iPhone while wearing gloves. I guess a human touch is needed which is actually kind of sweet. So now when I’m out and it rings, I have to pull off one of my gloves. The trouble is if I stuff the glove in my pocket or my bag, or drop it on my...
What’s more fun than a new kitten! (See JACKIE CAT, Nov 18, 2013) But they do require some serious training so the day we brought ours home from the ASPCA we read him the house rules – don’t bite the hand that feeds you, keep your paws off the house plants, and please sleep in your own little wicker cat bed.

Invariably we’d come home to find her sleeping on the bed or on the couch, in the closet or on the rug, in her wicker cat bed, or curled up on a sunny windowsill. So now I wonder – as Lucy...
When I retired friends asked what I would do with all my free time. “Oh, just more of the good things.” I said, “Reading, theatre, tennis, travel.” “Try something new, try gardening,” some suggested, “it’s great physical exercise and surprisingly spiritual.
