		<description><![CDATA[My mom, Martha Scolnick Larris, has been gone for 17 years. I&#8217;d be lying if I said we had an easy relationship. It was often contentious and frustrating and hurtful. (As much for her, I&#8217;m sure, as it was for me.) But there was also a lot of good stuff. Memories of Martha pop in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One week &#8217;til Valentine&#8217;s Day. Non-stop teen emails scream for my attention and romantic advice. Not sure how I became  such an expert. I mean, honestly, if some fortune teller sidled up to me in 7th grade and whispered &#8220;Some day, Annie, you will be a relationship guru sought after by thousands for your expansive knowledge [...]]]></description>

I knew him as Daddy, a man who loved his wife and three kids and worked hard to provide for us. He had a large extended family (more [...]]]></description>

They’re growing up at warp speed. Probably a blessing we’re all too busy to notice them morphing into young adults [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The boy and his father stood in the middle of our quiet street. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Throwing buckeyes!” the kid beamed as he and Dad playfully launched two more down the hill. I watched them in the Saturday sun and fell into a gap. The world is full of gaps. Opportunity gaps. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right before Thanksgiving a few years back, a dear friend emailed me: &#8220;I know this is incredibly presumptuous, and Miss Manners would be scandalized, but I&#8217;m wrangling for an invitation.&#8221; I was blown away. Not by her directness (God no!) but by the fact that she felt she had no right to say, &#8220;I need [...]]]></description>

Did she still love us? Wasn’t she grateful for the many very carefully selected gifts she’d received since… birth? Was she planning on [...]]]></description>

If the last half of that sentence triggered a stress response, I apologize and I feel your heart palpitations. Holiday stress is very real especially if you’re anything like me when I’m [...]]]></description>

Watching those beauties cooling on the rack, I&#8217;m struck by the utter perfection of a muffin. Aromatic. Golden. Round. There&#8217;s a cosmic wholeness to each one those puppies.

Our kids don’t even live here any more and David and I still trawl the neighborhood and check out the trick-or-treaters and home make-overs. We usually don’t ring doorbells, but we never miss the guy standing in his driveway [...]]]></description>
