This is an article which contains my opinion, and my opinion only. Governor Granholm has amended her original Executive Order (EO 2009-36) with an additional Executive Order, 2009-43. Both the orders can be read here. I have read several articles regarding this amendment, but most of the recent press coverage has focused on Last Thursday’s [...]

I am thinking in metaphors today, something that happens to me often. It works this way: I think of something, and suddenly I am in a completely different place and time.

Funny, isn’t it, how things that have nothing to do with you become a part of you? I can illustrate with a little story. When I married Papa I became part of a family with their own history, sayings, inside jokes, and other little quirks. A lot of these things are the illusive things that [...]

You might remember that Papa built me a new trellis this year. I really needed it, after the collapse of 2008. I have been watching the ascent of the Morning Glories all summer, they seem to grow a few inches each day. Yesterday, it looked like this: The most interesting thing to me is [...]
