Blog post4.25% of Illinoisians are fully vaccinated. As a member of the Phase 1b priority category I count myself lucky to be in their ranks.
Sheer luck struck when I happened to be checking my email while the message from the McHenry County Health Department alerted me to an unexpected shipment of the Pfizer vaccine from the federal government.
Luck held as I managed to secure an appointment at a nearby Jewel Osco pharmacy.
Good fortune prevailed when my second dose appo -
Blog postBumper-to-bumper baby boomers inched forward in their autos to score a Moderna or Pfizer fix at popup vaccination centers nationwide.
Drowsy retirees snoozed in lawn chairs waiting in predawn hours to roll up their sleeves and receive their ticket out of confinement and a measure of safety.
A pandemic door opened a crack and hope squeezed into our lives.
Hope to beat the odds.
Mike and I have been cautious.

Blog postSqueaks, my rescue cockatiel, cultivated a passion for blogging. I provided him with his own blog (or bloggo as Squeakers calls it) “Squeaks Says.” However, Squeaky Pie journaled a recent event. I thought his message worthwhile so I’m allowing him to post on “A Few Choice Words” as well.
I’d appreciate it if you’d follow me on my author website. (It’s embarrassing that Squeaks may soon have more followers than I do!) Check it out on http://anitaborgoauthor.com

Blog postSqueaks, my rescue cockatiel, is at it again! Once again, Squeaky Pie, managed to post on my website. This time he’s protesting a Christmas song (or Christymas song in cockatiel talk). I’ve decided not only to let his post stand, but to give Mr. Squeaks his own page on my author website. Check out his page, Squeaks Says on http://anitaborgoauthor.com
He tags himself as the only rescue cockatiel bloggo on the Internest.
The mads gets me and I’s don’ts likes it!

Blog postI baked my first and last cherry turnovers! These rude pastries refused to suck it up and politely bake. Give me well behaved cookies or a disciplined pie anytime! The mushy fruit yielded an unpleasant texture. Perhaps the turnovers thought their lineage entitled them to special treatment. Ancestors of my dessert, pasties, appeared in “The… Continue reading Not As Easy As Pie: Learning About Turnovers

Blog postSeveral suspicious messages arrived in my “A Few Choice Words by Anita” email box commenting upon my recent post. Readers claimed my last post “creative” and had an “interesting slant” and “unique”! I puzzled over the complimentary comments, increased likes, and new readership. Although I appreciated the fanfare, I wondered about the delayed response. I… Continue reading Uninvited Guest Blogger: Squeaky Pie

Blog postHalf the title is true!
I’m taking over this blog . . . at least for the meantime. Anitamom has too many eggs in her nest to write. There’s the “promoting OPERATION HOPPER” egg and the “filming a commercial for the Fall Sale” egg and “learning how to create a website” egg. (She’s watched more YouTube videos about websites than there are seeds on my sprig of millet.)
Yummmmm! I love millet. THINKING about millet gives me the coos. I can’t stop cooing when Anitamom plops a sprig -

Blog postSignificant events divide my timeline. Life after marriage- “So I have TWO families!” Life after son is born- “So my world happily revolves around THIS son.” Life after divorce- “So THAT’S who I used to be.” Life after meeting Significant Other – “So my world DIDN’T end!” Life after retiring from teaching – “So I… Continue reading Adventures in Writing: From Teaching to Writing to Zooming Teaching and Writing

Blog postWriting books is easier than promoting books! In June, I Amazon published two books. Operation Hopper and Other Tales: Nature, Magic, and the Oakland Acres’ Kids and a companion discussion activity guide Operation Hopper and Other Tales: Nature, Magic, and the Oakland Acres’ Kids Discussion and Activity Guide. The first a collection of short stories for children ages… Continue reading Adventures in Writing: Promoting My Book Up From The #1,252,633 Amazon Rank Position!
