Sue's Musings

Do you have special rituals you use to mark time?

At our house, there's a gorgeous dogwood tree in front of our house.   It blooms every year during the week of our daughter's birthday.   So, we call it the "Nia Tree."

The blossoms are particularly gorgeous this year.   Our little girl turns ten on Sunday, and we'll take photos in front of that tree, just as we have each year since 1998.

Those rituals are somehow comforting, even as we ask ourselves where the time has gone.

What are your rituals for time passages?

I think the "Nia Tree" picture is a great idea Sue!
We make notches on the trim of our kitchen doorway to mark the height for both of our boys on their birthday.

I have something similar to yours. Every year on my birthday in November, our flowers die in the front yard. My mom and dad call me the Dying Flower :)

My apple tree always blooms this time of year and now I will think of Nia when it does. I hope she had a great birthday. My "baby" is 19 now, they grow so very fast. It seems like it was just yesterday we were celebrating his 10th birthday! We get a cake from the L & M Bakery in my hometown, even though we now live over 50 miles away from there. I have had one every birthday for 44 years.

All of your stories (ok, most of them) are so sweet. Thanks, and as soon as I can, I'll post the Nia Tree photo from last Sunday.

I have been the weather anchor on Good Day Philadelphia since December of 1997. It's been quite a ride, and I've been extremely fortunate. I've spent much of my time during the years taking weather on location. Those experiences have afforded me so many opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I've visited countless schools and been able to show our viewers some of the positive things going on in the classrooms in our area. We've been able to focus on the many teachers working very hard, and the students who will always remember when TV came to their school. I'm also proud of encouraging our viewers to be "tourists in their own hometown." We've taken you to special spots, like the Camden Children's Garden, the Constitution Center, and hundreds more. These are places I might have procrastinated about visiting on my own, but thanks to this job, I've been able to feel so much a part of this community as the folks out there have opened their arms. How lucky am I? My daughter has been a part of this program, periodically, from the time she was six months old. And even now, people who recognize me and Nia when we're out and about remember when I did the weather from our house on her first day of kindergarten. She is in fourth grade! So many of her childhood memories are preserved on Good Day, and I am grateful. Just in the last year, we've made astounding technological changes here at Fox 29, and it's exciting to work with the very latest in state-of-the-art technology. My latest thrill is this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
