Three hours. That’s it. No more. No less. In just three hours, I learned more about myself than I have this entire summer. Last Tuesday night at polo, Joell said she really needed our help the next day because a group of girls were coming to the barn to learn about horses and ride a…
Gifts
I am the friend who will forget your birthday. I hate Christmas shopping. I forget my own wedding anniversary. Thankfully, I married a man with a sense of humor and the same off-kilter understanding of sentiment and ceremony. So in the traditional sense of gift giving I am an almost total failure. However, I have learned…

A Life Well Lived
CNN did a story today “15 Reasons Mr. Rogers was the Best Neighbor Ever” http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/07/28/mf.mrrogers.neighbor/index.html It’s not just a charming article, it’s the story of a gentle man who loved children, family, music and people.
