March 16, 2018

March is an active month. Even it's name implores us to just keep going because better weather is coming.

Some important days in March include National Banana Cream Pie Day, which coming after the Debbie Downer of February is a big encouragement, and National Read Across America. These two fall on March 2 so if you can't indulge in pie you can have some pie-in-the-sky mome...

Four Step Evolution of a Valentine

Mary Marie Allen

Wednesday this week marks one of the best loved/most hated, well-celebrated/dismal days of the year.  Valentine’s Day. Depending on where you’re at in life and who you’re with (or aren’t with), the day can be the best or the worst.

     Some of my family left this past week for a Florida vacation missing out on the annual ice worm festivities in Cordova Alaska . Never fear! Perhaps next year we can charter a Cardinal bus for a week so we don’t miss the Miss Ice Worm Queen competition, the Ic...

Merry Smith, a temp at a business, prefers to avoid her boss, Jayson Bright, whom she views as a di...

Part One - The Meaning of True Love  

As a child, I'd gone fishing with my father. I'd sit in the boat and read while he fished.  I have vague memories of putting worms on hooks, so I'm sure that at some point I actually fished, but I have no memory of catching an...

While some of the Midwest is buried in snow and other parts are simply shivering now that the Arctic Air has dropped upon us like a Sumo wrestler, let me share a serendipity.

Mary Marie Allen
