Here is a Kiss … Mom and Dad. A place to share information about eldercare and aging in general……. Precious gifts… →. On kitchen tables…. August 30, 2013. Yesterday’s Poets and Writers prompt was to muse about our kitchen tables the food, voices and thoughts they have experienced. Odd, since most of us do not have a kitchen table anymore.

Listening to Ms Quindlen talk about reading, I tried to recall the title of the first book to make me feel less alone, to help me feel I had a friend beyond the living room couch. And here is a good article from the Hartford Courant about the importance of support groups for caregivers http:/ touch.courant.com/#section/2225/article/p2...Oh my...

So, as POA (Power of Attorney) for both parents, I was responsible for paying their bills. Bill payment had always been my father’s job and as kids, we all high-tailed it when the heavy green strongbox was set down on the kitchen table (next to an ashtray and pack of Marlboroughs). Our father seldom swore, but you could count on it that one evening a month. BT’s, Sage Allen.

Or how we’d visit my Nonie on Christmas Eve – climb the dark, narrow stairs to her apartment, smelling stinky fish fried in dough (my father’s favorite) and plain fried dough topped with sugar (my favorite).

March 2, 2015. As the only daughter in a family full of boys, I had the role of primary caregiver for much of this time. We all pitched in (including spouses), but in those first several years, there were so many things I wish we’d known! Having been through it, there is some critical information that, as a family, is...

When I teach, students often ask how to work through writer’s block (or writer’s blah, since most of what is written when blocked is blah). When asked, I pour through plenty of creative ideas to help break through the fog and prod their pens forward. As much as I’ve enjoyed writing this blog, it is time for a change, time to...
