“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

At what point did we decide as a society that event planning is a thing we should be capable of after the death of a loved one?

It's a good thing I like a good spreadsheet.

1984 was the high watermark of US pop music. I'm just glad I was alive to hear the radio back then... we didn't have the Internet or social media, but we didn't need it! The very air was filled with SOUND when we were kids...

Never thought I'd say this, but I miss the (good parts of) the Eighties.

Who cares how many books you read this year!

Did you read? Yes.
Did it bring you joy? Yes.

You’ve met the only goal that matters.

Repotted this 40-some-year-old Christmas cactus.

Not sure how old I was when I figured out that #houseplants can live a very long time...I'm used to the frenetic life cycle of the vegetable garden.

Emergence, battle, bounty, and death. 🤘

For anyone who needs to hear this, which is everyone...label your old family photos. Names and dates and places.

Ask your mom who all those people are, before you can't ask anymore.

The hospital cafeteria had a hydroponic system. Tiny greens on the day my mom was admitted for surgery, and on the day she passed. Twelve days of growing. 💚

The last three library books my mom borrowed before passing. I'll finish them for her.

Co-writing an obituary for Mom, with Dad (the history professor). Two people who should be able to write about anything, trying to find the words that might bring to life their everything.
