Anne Notations: January 2005
http://annenotations.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 28, 2005. Preparing for a death. Michael's mother is dying of cancer. She is 88 and our children's last grandparent. All of them adore her. Mom has been the sun, the family nucleus around whom her four sons and daughters-in-law and 13 grandchildren have revolved. Not so many weeks ago I was buying our daughter Melinda a beautiful formal for her high school's Winter Ball. Today we shopped for somber clothes and shoes for her to wear to Mom's funeral and wake . soon. This spam's for you.

Anne Notations: February 2005
http://annenotations.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2005. RIP, gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, who died yesterday by suicide. His writing was not my cup of Wild Turkey, but I suppose it's the end of an era. As for fear: How I gnashed my teeth at having to attend my second Weight Watchers meeting today! How thrilling to see that my eleventh-hour panicky eating this past week resulted in a gain of two pounds. (groan). Melinda (right) with her friend Torey before the dance, at our house. Robyn and Andrés, good to go. I still love to...

Anne Notations: May 2005
http://annenotations.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Looking west across Sakonnet Passage from Little Compton, RI. December 31, 1983. Over the stone wall, into the potato field, toward the line of trees and brush the dogs and I walked. It was cold; the sun was pale and low in the sky. Turning down the truck path toward the water, I noticed something in the clearing to our left: small gray boulders in the frozen ground. I looked again. July 8, 1984. Nature could trap. You could wander among sweet grasses and not think of God....

Anne Notations: October 2005
http://annenotations.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 27, 2005. My stepdaughter Leslie (above, at right, with Melinda) is expecting her first child - a daughter - in the coming month. Doesn't she look beautiful in that ripe way unique to pregnant women? I am reminded of autumn apples, sweet pears, all the fruity abundance we reap at harvest-time. It is cause for thanksgiving, clearly. Michael and I will be grandparents! I'm ready to be Granny Annie. Posted by Anne D. at 10:39 AM. Down by the Bay. Warwick, RI, United States. A Day Over Fifty.
