During my childhood in Ireland there was a man who would visit our neighborhood every few weeks. I remember hearing the sound of his horse’s hooves plodding on the roadway as he approached our street. His loud proclamation, “Any old iron!” alerted us to his coming. We called him “the rag and...

It’s spring, and flowers are in full bloom. Yesterday as I took a walk, I noticed a neglected flower garden. The flowers were hardly visible for the weeds. I wondered why someone would plant such lovely flowers and then fail to take care of them. Later that day, I thought about how much f...

Though I’m no longer a child, I still like plush toys. I have several of them from over the years — almost all of them given to me for one reason or another. One plush toy in particular wasn’t actually given to me as a gift, but my heart feels like it was. A few years before Dad went to be w.....

Two months ago I caught COVID-19, and I am still dealing with lingering symptoms. Yesterday I could only get a deep breath every few minutes, and my chest hurt from the effort. I had to rest a lot and walk slowly. This was still an improvement from the first weeks of illness when my chest wa...

I opened the kitchen cupboard, and a pantry moth flew out. I must have bought something contaminated with moth eggs, and the infestation had spread unnoticed until now. I cleaned everything in the cupboard and the cupboard itself. I threw out crackers, cereal, flour, rice, and pasta. This w...
