Happy Birthday to my Sister, my Friend, and other Mama Bears celebrating another year in life!
A piece I wrote back in July on my birthday: The rustic white wood paneled door opens wide into the sun-lit hallway.The clean smooth cotton of the pillow cradles my right cheek. I blink several times as the image in the hallway comes into greater focus. It is the 11 by 14 framed photograph of →

Are You Ready For Some Football? And Some Dog Day?
Yesterday was the start of something we look forward to all year long in this house. ESPN Dog Day! Perhaps you thought I might say the first day of college football season or the first broadcast of College Game Day on ESPN. Those two came in at a close second around here. Actually we started →

Pause and a Deep Breath, Always a Good Thing
It has been almost one month since I sat down to write for grizzlybearma.com. This lapse in posting was not intentional, I have been very busy (and collecting more to write about). The break has also given me a chance to pause and a take a deep breath as a writer. In June of 2018 →
