20130409 – Just Being There …

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 9, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Sometimes the best thing about life in the sandwich and being a Grandpa is just being there. The newly transplanted California contingent was home for a week for E’s first birthday. Yesterday, my son and daughter-in-law were working at home, son-in-law was home with his parents and a little under the weather, and daughter was visiting for the day with … Continue reading →

20130402-2 Speaking of Boxes

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 3, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Here’s a little story about boxes you might enjoy. I wrote it a dozen years ago. “The Box” The box was actually two boxes that lay undisturbed in the attic of our family home for more than thirty years.  My father discovered them when he cleared the attic to make way for some better insulation early in 2001.  Late in … Continue reading →

20130402 – Thinking about Boxes

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 2, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

My son and I found ourselves talking about creative things the other day, things like graphic design, logos, business cards, and business names. And then he said something that caught me by surprise. He said, “I don’t like the term ‘thinking out of the box’.” “Hmmm,” I said, “Why not?” Well, sometimes you have to work with certain constraints, particularly … Continue reading →

20130326 – Coming Out of the Dark

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 26, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

OK, I’ll let you know right up front that this is a post about depression, but hopefully not a depressing one. Maybe I should tell a little story to lighten the mood: My wife had this ceramic piggy bank as a kid; it was a foot tall, a half inch thick and weighed about ten pounds empty. It really was … Continue reading →

20130319 – Meandering Thoughts, Fond Memories

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 19, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

It’s funny how the mind can wander so many places in the space of about ten minutes. When I started blogging I had specific ideas about what I wanted to say. I wanted it to be a helpful place where people could identify with the experiences of life in the sandwich. I wanted it to be a resource for things … Continue reading →

20130226-4 – Where Am I?

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 18, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Let’s see, pull out my smartphone, open Mapquest, enter destination, get directions – oops, Mapquest needs to know FROM WHERE! If you’re going anywhere you really need to know where you’re starting from. Given my last post, probably a good idea. So let’s take a little inventory. OK, we live in a nice two story, three bedroom home that can … Continue reading →

20130226-3 – Dreams, Desires and Time

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 15, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

So thinking about my previous post and considering what we have recently been through with her parents, my wife and I need to take a look at our own situation. Seems like a good place to start is with an honest assessment of health and health care needs (reality), followed by dreams and desires for our future, and time. I … Continue reading →

20130226-2 – Independent and Assisted Living

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 14, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

This will be the first of three posts regarding living and lifestyle choices we all need to consider as we age. Caution: it may sound a little formal, rather than a casual conversation like I would prefer … As part of this caution you’ll notice that I’ve slipped into “strategic planner” mode for this series, that’s my instinctive MO (modus … Continue reading →
