Ethiopian Gifts

Melcam Gena! “Merry Christmas!” Today is Christmas day in Ethiopia, and I have to tell you the story of two of the best gifts I’ve ever received. Because they are both Ethiopian. It was New Year’s Day in Ethiopia, September, 2002. In the rest of the world it was actually 2009. For your information, Ethiopia … Continue reading Ethiopian Gifts →

Resolutions

The new calendar hanging on my pantry door has a Norman Rockwell print of a grandfather laughing with two young boys.

2018, The End?

Dear Friends, Wow. I have just completed one year of blogging.  48 stories from my life. Shall I continue? I've been wondering.

A Dad Story

“When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.” That Mark Twain quote makes me laugh – because it’s so true, isn’t it? Now that I am older, I know better than to rely on my memory. ‘Teflon brain’ they call it. That is one reason why I keep a … Continue reading A Dad Story →
