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.

Christmas Shipping Completed

Due to recent illness in my family, Christmas plans and organization have gone out the window. I am now in crisis mode, completing only those tasks that are absolutely necessary for the holiday. Today that included shipping gifts to family and friends in Minnesota, Florida, California, and Virginia. The financial damages weren’t too out of line, given that I was shipping several heavy boxes only nine days before the holiday. Not the ideal situation but, nonetheless, reality.

Next year, I plan to have my shopping and shipping finished by Tuesday, December 4th!
