  • A News Kind of Spring Cleaning

    Posted on Wednesday May 6th, 2009 at 20:06 in nona's musings

    I guess it was during the summer vacation that I got into the habit of listening to cable news. With the exception of "The View", daytime T.V. is pretty much a barren wasteland, and I just can't get into the reality shows. With the election coming up...

  • Throw Away Cats

    Posted on Monday May 4th, 2009 at 16:46 in nona's musings

Nona Nita is a true "Nonna" in the Italian sense: by which I mean she is calm, wise and wonderful and able to capture the lively interest of children. This is no superficial "Grandma" blog. Nona Nita is well-researched and educational, the evident result of a former teacher gone "grandma."
