A year or two later, as we were packing up to leave again at the end of another summer, my mother sighed. “This year was going to be the year when I would get to sit right here and watch the leaves turn color. 8221; It must have been 1974, the year my father would have turned 62, the year he would have planned...

Harriet the Spy's blog. 8220;When I grow up I’m going to find out everything about everybody and put it all in a book.”. Friday, April 6, 2012. 70 Years Ago Today. From all accounts, it was a whirlwind romance; my mother told me once that my father produced an engagement ring on a Labor Day weekend trip home to Maine, barely two months after they had met. "I said, 'Oh, no, Bill, it's too soon,'" she told me, "and I made him keep the ring until Christmas.". They moved into a tiny, boxlike house in Newingt...

Harriet the Spy's blog. 8220;When I grow up I’m going to find out everything about everybody and put it all in a book.”. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Note: The members of my writing group decided to all write to the same prompt this month ("Last time") and share our writing at tomorrow's meeting. I decide a ten-minute paddle is enough and head back to camp. After all, I’m only out here for bragging rights. My first paddle of the year was on March 24. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Harriet the Spy's blog. 8220;When I grow up I’m going to find out everything about everybody and put it all in a book.”. Wednesday, January 1, 2014. New Year’s Resolutions—mine are pretty simple this year:. Write, submit, repeat. Continue my exercise streak. Today is my 635. Continue that teeth-flossing streak I started back in 2009 or so. Consider starting a new streak of some kind…since that seems to work. Read at least as many books as in 2013 (50 or more). Strive for balance in all things:.

Tomorrow, February 13. Would have been my mom’s 92. Birthday. Here’s a story I had never heard until a couple of years ago. It’s about my mom and her best friend, and it says a lot to me about their kindness and compassion. My mom and Betty. None of us had. After hearing Ben's story, I was curious about the "hobo marks."

Harriet the Spy's blog. 8220;When I grow up I’m going to find out everything about everybody and put it all in a book.”. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Why introverts love Facebook. Today is World Introvert Day, something I didn't learn until quite late in the day. Too late to throw a big party or anything like that, but not too late to share it on Facebook. I posted a link to www.introvertday.org. Which garnered some amusing feedback from other introverts. Burns asked if I had read Susan Cain's book Quiet.

Anthologies, and I keep them in the one room of the house I'm certain to visit every morning. Yes, I confess: I read poetry in the bathroom. My mother read Time. Magazine in the bathroom. In fact, I'm not sure she ever read it anywhere else. Each week, the new issue was carried into the bathroom as soon as it arrived...But I...
