Say Yes to generous offers

What happens when you say yes to generous offers?
Two friends contributed their talents to make a gift I wanted to send to two poets who inspire creativity in communities across our country.

This is the year I learn to say Yes to generous offers.

Nothing says “lite reading” like the documents resulting from an Open Records Act request.

I wanted our trip to the mailbox to be more than routine.
(We asked the USPS if we could make our box open towards
the sidewalk because our street is very busy. Now no one has
to stand in the street to deliver or check the mail).

Look up!

Why not add whipped cream after the next to last doctor on your cancer care team says, “How about an annual check-in from now on?”

When there are excited children in the house on Christmas, it isn’t a surprise to find a bow on the bathroom sink.

Last weekend my granddaughter used an old iPhone to take
pictures during our overnight trip to Atlanta. She took this
picture in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

I couldn’t manage a photo of what I saw this week, but it bears describing.

At an office supply store I watched an elderly man getting information for some type of technology problem he couldn’t solve. The young man at the service counter very patiently repeated what needed to be done, and assured the customer that if he brought the item in, the problem could be solved. The customer left to go get the item out of of his car.

The elderly man was wearing Confederate flag suspenders and a replica Confederate battle cap. The polite young man at the counter was black.

The irony was almost more than I could stand.

One of my favorite decorations is this simple Christmas ball.  It will probably stay up until the days get longer.

My college friends repurposed a box so they could send me sweaters to repurpose. We attended a Quaker college. Using a Quaker oatmeal box is just too clever.

I am so worn out with re-enacting the Civil War. We know the outcome of the war, but we still have work to do concerning the persistent racism and income equality stemming from the enslavement of Africans.
