Wednesday, March 09, 2011. The Death of Customer Service. Customer service is officially dead. Check this story:. I go into the bakery to pick up the cake for my mother's birthday. It is 11 am and I'm in a tad bit of a hurry and there's a cast of thousands of kids and moms in there all lined up. So I hunkered down to wait patiently. And wait I did. Are you wearing perfume? Well, someone smells fantastic! I just got a whiff of it! And the poor, exasperated mother repeats "Two bagels." "Toasted? A cake....

Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Sara and Muriel Help Me Keep Morphing. The first is the character of Sara Chickering in Karen Hesse's novel, Witness. The second is Muriel, in Helen Frost's Crossing Stones. So early we learn this young woman in 1917 will not be molded easily. And luckily for her, she has a paternal aunt who is fighting for suffrage. Mama informs me. A lady never writes before she has received a letter. My classmates looked at me, nodded, and moved onto some other topic in the discussion. As ...

Monday, August 08, 2011. If Once on an Island. I have never been the same since I first started going to islands, and it was when I was very small, thanks to my mother. And now that I'm grown, she continues to help me spend time on one. Thanks, Mom. Mom, waving goodbye from the pier as I departed on the ferry. If once you have slept on an island. You'll never be quite the same;. You may look as you looked the day before. And go by the same old name,. You may bustle about in street and shop.

Letters from an Auntie to a niece, just for her! Sunday, August 21, 2011. First Visit to Massachusetts. It was so great to see you in Massachusetts this week. Your first visit! You are pretty awesome. Toddling around already at not even 10 months, putting everything under the sun into your mouth, and wanting to eat all kinds of food even though it is so hard for you since you don't have any teeth yet! We took you to the beach and you loved it. Look how gorgeous you are:. Love you so much,.
