Look at those kids (sometime in the late 1940s (?)), are they thinking about one day having kids? of seeing their kids have kids? of not being around? Of course not, that’s not what you do on a blanket at Cascade Lake. Today, a tough double calendar reminder Three years ago, my mom fell to […]
Yes, it’s was always and is still the double dipping of February family events- February 5 would have been my parents’ 64th Anniversary… and today would have been my Mom’s 85th Birthday. I am pretty sure she would be baking cookies this weekend, as she did here in 2010 during our regular Thanksgiving time here in Arizona
It’s hard not too remember the tremendous outpouring of Cookielove when she passed away unexpectedly in 2011, her last batch of cookies on the table at her house, hidden under a puzzle box.
Her system was simple, so simple, and made such a difference to people she interacted with
My nieces and my sister do a great job of carrying on Mom’s tradition; her a photo my sister just texted me
I miss the fun we had, such as when she did this shut of Thumbs Down for the Wired Boob issue

Those kind of neighborhoods. The ones that exist in the memory space of black and white TV shows. I can say I know of one of the most unusual neighborhoods in these times of “move in /move out, build a fence around the yard, stay inside and watch TV” – it is a circle of […]
I do not have the fancy red shoes, but I do have a kick-ass red pickup truck! cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog My 2011 Road Odyssey closed its lop last night when I got home at 6:30pm to my home in Strawberry, AZ, 15,030 miles and 5 months since I […]

With the hundreds of tweets, emails, and thoughts I feel in the air regarding my Mom’s passing, I am more that “lifted” by my net. As Mom would say, “I am blown away”. I was asked to edit the audio part of her “Stories on ds106 radio” where she talks about butterflies. I’d heard her […]
Here’s a new assignment for your ds10ers; put your Mom on the radio. I have an unfair advantage that my Mom is (a) alive and (b) a good sport. On her annual visits to Strawberry AZ for Thanksgiving, she has let herself be recorded on how to use her Twitter account or her previous amazement […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog It was during last year’s visit when my Mom asked me, full of both innocence and curiosity, to explain Twitter to her- we had a good time after I seeded the request for an explanation out to my contacts, and did they ever respond. We captured that conversation […]
