The View from My Broom: March 2015

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. I was a young wife and stay-at-home-mom in the early 1970s. Like many women I collected Betty Crocker box tops from products I prepared and saved them to buy flatware. I still have come of those pieces, but 45 years of wear, garbage disposals, and moves means that there are a few key pieces left and our family went on to have a couple of other sets of flatware. I'd like to find a complete set of something that serves 8 and be done...

The View from My Broom: September 2013

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. My husband Dave’s birthday is on or just after the first day of Fall. Perhaps that is why his mother began baking him plum sauce cake for a birthday cake. Certainly the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves fill the house with an aroma that speaks Autumn’s name. I had planned to mail the cake there. Then Dave’s mother died on August 17. She’d been unwell for some time, but seemed to be coming back in inches. My four paled by comparison.

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Friday, April 17, 2015. While picking out flooring yesterday, I received a text from our realtor/friend Ada Williams saying that our "new" house had closed. Daughter-in-law Ana and Grandson Gabriel had accompanied Dave and myself to the house yesterday morning to meet Ada and get the keys to our new family kingdom. If you aren't familiar with Lumber Liquidators they are a no frills flooring outlet. Enough flooring for our two houses (we all decided on t...

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Saturday, July 11, 2015. You Cannot Justify the Confederate Flag Flying on Public Property;. But maybe in your own yard. This year has been eye opening for an old Pacific NW white woman. I. Racism was alive, but I didn't realize it was doing so well. Police brutality, a church massacre, church burnings, and the revelation that the Confederate flag still flies on public property, not only in the South, but right here in Western Washington! Gone with the Wind.

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Friday, June 5, 2015. Remembering the Battle of Midway. From the moment the Japanese flew back to their carriers from Pearl Harbor, my father was no longer that fresh faced boy from the Missouri Ozarks. Seventy-three years ago the United States Navy dealt a strategic blow to the Japanese plan to dominate the South Pacific and my father, Conrad R. Frieze, was there. In 1967 Walter Lord published his book. Incredible Victory: the Battle of Midway. My father, ...

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. The Pleasure of Your Company is Requested. I love this magic box that connects me to the world. It has allowed me to reestablish connections with people that otherwise might have been lost to me forever. I love the devise I carry in my pocket. It allows me almost instant contact with my absent husband and children. Unfortunately, sometimes electronic technology fails. Email is also not fool proof, but somewhat more reliable. Now ther...

The View from My Broom. Ruminations of a Crone. Friday, June 19, 2015. We move through our lives making connections, some that last a lifetime and some that seem to fade like an old Kodachrome snapshot. For me, Facebook means reconnecting threads long broken, but unless that person belongs to Facebook it's more difficult and in some instances comes just plain too late. I've had two such instances lately. Links to this post. Friday, June 5, 2015. Remembering the Battle of Midway. Seventy-three years ago t...
