- How do you say it — two thousand ten or 20-10? Which is correct, or are both acceptable? There’s an upbeat feeling about the sound of either. It doesn’t seem very long ago that we were awaiting the turn of century with hope and apprehension and here we are already in the second decade of the millennium. What does it hold in store?

- Senior Center, Senior Circle have last-minute gifts ideas
- December 15, 2009
- I gave myself a treat this morning and spent a few minutes in memory lane. Awakening later than usual, I realized that for once I didn’t have to rush around to be somewhere, so I got up and fed Q, our cat (priority), turned up the heat, plugged in the coffee maker and crawled back in bed. The gurgling sound and delicious scent of coffee brewing took me back to my childhood when those sounds and scents were a regular morning event.
- Stay safe shopping; don’t give a gift to a thief
- December 8, 2009

- Driving class slated for seniors
- November 24, 2009
- November is kind of a somber month, a prelude to winter. November in Arizona is much different than November in my native Wisconsin where the skies are often gray and dreary, rather like pilgrims who seem to have been a cheerless lot. What would you expect though if you could dress only in black, white or gray? Wouldn’t it be depressing not to don that aquamarine sweater or dress your little girl in pink?

Color lifts the spirits as much as music and laughter.
