Our columnist takes a glimpse back at her year "rocking the suburbs."
I know that for many people New Year's Eve is a chance to look forward to the future. To plan out a better year than year before it. To make resolutions that will greatly improve their quality of life. Not me. I like to look back over the past year and revel in both the highs and lows. I like to do what the kids call, “a year in review." More specifically, I want to do an official: MOON PATCH YEAR IN REVIEW. This weekly gig for me started off with a simple column about exercise walks in my neighborhood. OK, maybe it wasn’t simple. Perhaps in said article I detailed my deep fear of dogs, non-working invisible fences and serial killers. I feel that this initial column set the tone for all of my columns to follow (i.e. quirky). My next …

Some Moon Township families have been beneficiaries of Kmart "angels" who have made anonymous payments on strangers' layaway accounts. Others have joined the host of generous angels who've popped up around the country during the holiday season.
Across the country this holiday season, anonymous benefactors have dropped into local Kmarts and paid off layaway balances for families with children. It’s difficult to tell where this trend of generosity started—you can see reports of the donations reported by Patch sites across the country [ above ]—but it’s clear that where “layaway angels” tread, tears of joy follow. In Moon, "angels" have worked their magic by paying down balances for at least a half-dozen families who had laid away items at the Kmart on Beaver Grade Road. Others have turned up to pay the layaway orders of customers at the Super Kmart on Marketplace Boulevard. Elsewhere in Western Pennsylvania, anonymous benefactors also have shown up and helped "a bunch" of families …

Columnist Gab Bonesso gets a little blue this time of year, and Jim Henson helps out.
I can’t believe Christmas is actually here. I knew it was coming all month, but BAM. It’s in my face, and I still have some last minute shopping to do. As I head out the door to mingle with all the other last-minute losers, I hear on the news there was a robbery at the Mall at Robinson, where I shop. Joy to the world. Don’t get me wrong. I truly do love celebrating Christmas and New Year's Day. Some of my favorite moments have occurred during the holidays. Unfortunately the holidays also hold some of my darkest memories. Eleven years ago during the holiday season, my father was in our house, bed-ridden and dying from cancer. It is a feeling and an image that, even after all this time, I still can’t shake come Christmas time. I don’t want…

Thanks for your honesty, Gab. You're right, and your insights resonate with many of us who love the season but have those moments where we wrestle with bittersweet memories. Thanks, too, for the reminder about Emmett Otter — a sweet favorite when my boys were younger. Might have to dig that out again . . . more ›
