Poem: Red

Red I look out my window just in time to see the woman walking the red dog. And think about my mom who likes to tell me about the duo in long winding circles of words. Does she love to see them because the red dog is the bright color her hair once was? Do…

Unexpected realities in 2020

I’ll never forget how disoriented I felt in 2013 when my now ex-husband moved to California temporarily for a job, even though I knew that we’d be visiting each other regularly. The day he left I had nearly finished putting on two completely different shoes when I realized what I was doing. That moment paled…

Sisters and unexpected blessings

When a family falls apart there are painful ripples but you can also find unexpected blessings in their wake. That’s the story of my half-sisters and I – we each grew up without a sister and we were excited to be sisters in adult life. I was a baby when my oldest sister Julie came…

SC Codes Greenville – Creating an innovative pilot program for our community

I’ve been planning to write a blog post about our SC Codes Greenville pilot (Jan 2016 – Jun 2018) to share the awesome experience and Greenville community achievement. The recent confusion because of the launch of a new program under the same name – SC Codes – is now another reason to write about it….

Mom and Aging 2.0

I knew it would not be easy to accompany my mom on the journey of “getting old.” She has always been an ultra-independent person. When someone talks about a parent’s frequent requests for help, I can’t even imagine. My mom avoids asking me for help like the plague and seems to be enduring a form of…

Loss ripples beyond Greenville cycling community

You may have noticed that here at Carolina Cycling News we tend to emphasize road racing. It’s not entirely on purpose. Neil is just a roadie at heart who loves cyclocross while I’m a cycling fan and recreational/commuter rider. Although we don’t get much chance to ride the trails with mountain bikers, we love opportunities…

Bethyl’s Blog

Guest Blogger: My mother has started “blogging” via email and this is her post for yesterday which seems an interesting follow-up to my “Hands” post: Today is my mother’s birthday. Alice Ardena Erickson Davis. December 13, 1887 – August 3, 1980. She was 40 when I, her fifth and last child, was born in 1927….

Dragonfly Mayhem

Last night, I was peacefully laying on the floor using my wondrous Miracle Balls to relieve some back pain I was having. Suddenly our cat Tao burst through the cat door and ran past me with her sister close behind. This was unusual but the unsettling thing was the distinct buzzing sound that was emanating…

Found these awesome photos in my mom's albums. 1962 moods 😍 #1: Marine Corp Ball,The Hague. #2-3: Traveling back from home leave to foreign service assignment. Last minute #flashbackfriday to celebrate her progress healing.

My mom had a longtime nightly ritual of giving treats to her cat, counting them out in Spanish. The "treat party" tradition has finally returned as my mom is on the mend from her fall. Getting up from the stool with broken ribs often needs an assist but otherwise she's got it covered 🥰 #adorable #eldercare #eldercareathome

Mom and I had a scary night last week when she fell and broke her ribs. Just after getting vaccinated and starting to get out, she's stuck in bed with big effort just to get to her rocking chair. But yummy meals are arriving from kind friends/volunteers. After super-sore legs for 2 days, I learned to station myself on 1st floor outside in late afternoon for less stair climbing on round-the-clock meds and other care and for a mini mental break. Don't know what I'd do without this baby monitor!

Touching moment on my impromptu walk through Cleve

Touching moment on my impromptu walk through Cleveland Park. Little kids watching this man's solitary trumpet & song salute at Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I heard him ask nearby woman if he'd disturb the sleeping baby before he started. #yeahthatgreenville
