Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

I Want to Be This Woman!

This morning, my hometown newspaper, the Fairmont Sentinel (MN), carried this article about a 98-year-old woman who still volunteers at a community meal program. She does it to keep busy. She also walks around her housing development, Friendship Village, every day, a distance that could add up to a couple of miles (I know because my aunt used to live there). I want to be this woman, alive and embracing life even at an advanced age!
